[QUOTE="smitty2919, post: 11980170, member: 113577"] I never owned a dog from being a pup. I picked up a shelter dog that is prob lab/hound/boxer mis and was guesstimated at 7month..was 35lbs or so. My wife and I treat trained him to sit, stay, go in the crate, to sit when walking on a leash and we stop for traffic etc. From what I have read/learned/been told is to keep repetition. Do the same motions or say the same things when you want them to do something. We can go for a walk with my dog on a grass field and until I say "go potty" he will walk on a leash as if we are on the street. One "go potty" is said, he is nose down to the grass searching for places to go pee/poo. Choose a word or phrase that isn't in your normal vocabulary. Always be the Alpha-dog of her, have her look to you for commands/guidence. I have read a lot since our dog had/has separation anxiety when we are away ONLY while kept in a crate, and some people say it's because he sees himself as the leader and gets worked up when the "pack" (my wife and I) leave without his permission. Do things like walk through a doorway first when going outside or inside. Don't let her walk in front of you on a leash. Keep one step ahead of her while walking. She is obviously young, but my dog responded very well to treat training and positive renforcement when doing things we wanted from him. The more "rules/guidelines" you can bestow in her now the better. Make the crate her "sanctuary" and a place she LIKES to go. Feed her in there, let her feel safe and sleep in there and you SHOULDN"T have issues with crating. My dog had an unkown past so we ran into crating issues with him. [/QUOTE]
