I am by no means an expert. But, I'd start with an ex-pen with her crate inside of it - Along with a potty pad and water. It sounds like she may be overwhelmed by the amount of room she has to roam. I'd start out with a kitchen or bathroom area and GRADUALLY increase her free roam space. Most importantly only allow her free roam when she can be CONTINUOUSLY watched.

Second, I'd use a little caution in restraining (leashing) her to her cage as she could strangle herself.

Finally, patience and routine is most important! GOOD LUCK!!!
