I never heard of anyone tying down a dog. We tie down stud colts, but that's different there big and strong and need to learn who's boss. This dog seems like it's scared ****less. I think what it really needs is to learn that you love her more than anything and would never do anything to hurt her. Once she loves and trusts I think being scared of everything will go away in time because she knows you would never let anyone hurt her.
If the point of the tie down is to keep her confined so she doesn't go off to some discreet area and potty, i would just use an x-pen or playpen instead. I think the tie down would be scary and might hurt her little neck if she decides to pull. I couldn't stand seeing my little guy tied fast, i could barely stand it when they used to do it to my horses.
