Agree completely. Being tied out does not give her the new experiences, smells and stimulation she needs, not to mention bonding with you. The walk can also be used by you as some training time for sit, heel, etc., once it becomes a regular routine. It sounds like she is bored and needs more attention/stimulation from you. Once you dedicate regular walk and play times, it will be as therapeutic for you as it will for her. Don't give up on her!
