you have to admit that dennis has some, ummmm. "unique" approaches to training dogs, lol!
i wonder if you start with simply approaching the gate to just outside the zone she starts to get crazy (if there is one), mark/reward for calmness. or, perhaps approach the gate, put your hand on it as if you're going to open it, then just wait/walk away until she settles. could take a lot of time...
just thoughts off the top of my puny brain. dennis' approach may be much more effective.
Last night I did a different routine..I took something like you mentioned..
I approached the gate, put my hand on the gate..I told her to sit then waited..walked away without repeating and went onto the porch waited for her settle..after about the 10th time of returning to the porch..She went and sat in the center of the yard, I entered the yard. She remained calm on a sit in the center of the yard I approached she remained on her sit and stay put her lead on and BAM REWARD..the shiot worked, she walked with ease at my side..
Is there a reason she can't have a leash (or tab) and a training collar on before you put her in the kennel? That way, you can enforce the commands, "Sit, stay." She breaks, string her up like a turkey - leerburg lift. This is, of course, assuming she truly knows her sit and stay commands. It's not fair to correct a dog when they don't know what they are supposed to be doing.
Whether you apply a 2X4, a lift, or marker training, you should have a training plan - literally, write down PRECISELY what it should look like. Then, write down the steps needed to get there. If you don't have it perfectly clear in your own mind, the dog will never figure it out.

Hello Lisa..thank you for your time..I don not leave collars or leads on when out in the fenced yard. I have had a bad experience in the pase with a collar being left on..
Since the dog is already responding to a much more positive approach, I hope the owner doesn't take this track.

No Worries Leih...I got this..just had to gather my thoughts on how to tackle it as positive as I could..we are working each day and each day she is teaching me a little something new
