I just thought of something... I used a sling carrier to carry Sammy around A LOT, even around the house. It was so much better than her constantly trying to get out of her crate and screaming because she didn't want to be in there. Also, we have a stroller and I took her out in the stroller a lot too. As long as we were moving she was fine. She also has a car seat in the car that she likes so I took her everywhere with me and she could just hang out in the car while I went to the bank, post office, etc. (it was April so weather was fine) and that way she got to get "out" without moving around too much.
If you PM me your address I'll send you some Bully Sticks. Those will help too
