I have a 1 year old rescue that hates the crate and barks the entire time it is in the crate. When we let her out she is wild. What should we do?

Hello,

I did read pretty much the whole site. Couldn't find a question completely like this one and it is probably something other people deal with.

We have a really good GSD. She is easy to train and easy to live with. We have not had her that long, but she is 1 year old (rescued).

When we kennel her for any length of time, she tries to get out of the kennel non-stop and barks non-stop. I understand that we can use the e-collar to fix the barking problem. Again, like another of your questions, the 1 min, 2 min, 5 min does not work. When we get her out of the kennel she is hyper beyond belief. Usually runs around jumping, spinning, barking, and then drinks up a whole bowl of water. Last night we kenneled her for only about 1 hour. We waited until about 1 hour after she ate and let her go to the bathroom prior. She puked in the kennel (looked like her whole meal + any treats she might have had). My guess is that she is working herself into a frenzy in the kennel and got so worked up after dinner that she couldn't hold her meal. I assume she will eventually grow to like her kennel and understand that she can't dig her way out (which she tries to do - This is a metal crate with a plastic tray, so isn't very 'diggable'). Anything else I can do? I work out of my house during the day, but usually do not kennel her unless I am away on business for the day. Should I kennel her every day even if I am home to prove to her that is what she will be doing during the day?

Thanks,
Drew
