Exercise, exercise and more exercise. Wear her arse out. She won’t care when you leave if she is exhausted.

Also, don’t say hello or goodbye when entering/exiting. It sounds cruel but that is how it works if you are the pack leader. After her anxiety level has calmed down, then you can greet her.

Lastly, aside from the physical exercise, try mental stimulation as well. A toy with a treat in it but she has to do xyz with toy in order to get treat out, etc. Practice obedience commands as well, this helps.
