Ill start there

I would increase the amount of times a day. This will exercise her as well get her looking forward to getting out. Walks must be YOUR way. Don't let her stop or do whatever she wants. After a few good ones, you can reward her with some give on the leash for her to sniff or whatever. And heck, if you guys are having a great time, increase the time too!

By the way, does she have a favorite toy or ball? Diablo loves to fetch. So on his walks I would take his ball and just throw it until my arm got tired. He would get it everytime until it looked like he was gonna pass out. So when we got home, he was the german shepherd from heaven!! If she doesn't fetch, after a few walks maybe you can teach her. Just take the same toy so she begins to see a pattern. I highly recommend the JOLLY BALL. It's big and made for horses! VERY hard for them to destroy and has like a triangle handle on it so you can throw it pretty easily. It's about $17 bucks at any pet store. Diablo can pop basketballs with his jaw so most toys are a joke to him! And no, he's never had any bite training! He just thinks he owns all the balls! haha!! lol.... I kill me!!

Good luck! You made my day!! You are SO awesome!!!!!
PM and I will give you my # if you need anything or if we can brainstorm!

You've received some great advise as far as training etc but you still need to deal with what to do when no one is home. I still recommend installing an outside fully enclosed chain link kennel with concrete floor to keep her from digging her way out. I just can't imagine she would be able to get out of something like that and she will be safe too. You've really got your hands full, I feel for you!

[For My Coby]

I'm still following your thread and sending you support. Everyone agrees that you are awesome. So no matter what, you've got 's all around.

Had a thought. Do you have a treadmill at home? If you could train her on that, it would give her some EXTRA exercise time without making an entire outing for you (obviously can't be left alone) like right before bed or early in the morning.

Still sending you hugs!
