This link may help but know she may need medication. Also, while tranquilizers are sometimes used, generally anti-anxiety medication is the first choice of medication and Sasha may need this for her best quality of life. https://www.petcoach.co/article/7-natural-treatments-for-dog-anxiety/ I hope this helps.
