I just want to thank all of you for your advice. I could never give up on her I just want to be a good mommy to her and teach her the right way. The lady that had Abby before me kept her crated alot she has anxiety over it. When I take her to my groomer she can't crate her because she salivates and trembles. It just breaks my heart to think of crating her. What is a x-pen? I also have another dog that is free to roam anywhere in the house we rescued her when she was a year old and she was already housebroke. I just don't want to make Abby feel trapped. I spoil my dogs because that's just the way it should be, they deserve it and I just love making them feel so loved
