Smiles! Yea, I suppose I mean crate training... We call it a kennel. It's a plastic kennel/crate with a wire door on the front. It's very transportable - we bring it everywhere Pepper goes! Thankfully, he has learned to love it. You might want to try it. It was explained to us that dogs like "caves". The kennel gives them the security of their own little cave home. Perhaps the expen (I'm not very familar with them) is giving her to much of a large lonely expanse. Not sure, but I know the crate has worked wonderfully for us and others. Most dogs learn to love them. My heart is with you. It will get better. Just stick it out. (We were so encourage but yet sick of those same words only a year ago, but we are so glad we did it!
