Hi All,
Me again..I know...sorry just looking to the experts
So I am following all the rules..Dog in crate, training, walking, naps, play time, raw diet..Lilly is fine in her crate..dosn't cry will stay in there all day if I let her. I have her with me all the time either tied to me, in the yard on a lead, or in the crate. SO now what is happing is when I leave her outside on a long line (not for long) she pitches a MAJOR fit? If I'm out there she is happy smelling around, chewing her bone the min I come inside she goes mental. I don't want to create a separation anxiety in this dog so whats the deal? What am I missing? Thanks again

I'm glad that you are having success!!!!
Having almost totally ruined/destroyed one of my dogs by tying it out I would never never do that again in any form to a dog.....ever...but then I am traumatized by almost having to put him down...he is doing better now btw.
Anyway, I'm sure the others will chime in, but I would guess that she knows she is vulnerable and can't get away if something bad were to come along. she is right...I'd cry too.
Gosh that sounds sooo mean ..but I didn't think it was a big deal and it was.
Possibly someone will chime in on how to desensitize her...I don't mean to be offensive, and wish you the best.
Hmmm... I'm not a fan of tying out in the yard when I'm not right there either. If I'm working in the yard and don't want to have to keep an eye on Falcon and if he is wandering off (no fence) I'll tie him near me, but if I go inside, so does he. If I move to another part of the yard, so does he.
Since your dog is a rescue and a victim of dog attacks, she may very well have an absolute fear of being left vulnerable...
My suggestion is to simply bring her inside with you. If there are times you prefer/need her to be outside, I would consider installing a very safe, secure large kennel and then begin teaching her what a cool place it is to hang out... It is a beautiful day here and Falcon is happily outside chillin' in his "guy cave".

Oh, gosh, I would never leave a dog tied out without a human there. A tied-out dog is completely vulnerable, and not just to dog attacks.
I also don't want to offend someone who simply has not realized the position that chaining (tie-out, chain, whatever) puts a dog in. But it is a big deal, in my book. It's unintentionally staking out the dog like bait.
(Living near a high school emphasizes the reality for me. Teasing is probably the lowest level of problem it incites, and it's plenty bad enough; a very fast aggression-trigger. )
Thank You Thank You all SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!
I am never offended by what you all have to say and you all make VERY valid points that I didn't think of! I am so grateful! So then it's settled she goes with me! I thought since it is so nice now that she would like being out there BUT I totally see the other side now!! I am so glad I only did it a few times and only when I would walk inside for a second! This totally explains why she is happy as pie in her kennel in the house and in the car she is protected! Again thank you all so much!!
Kristina, it sure is nice when someone asks for advice, doesn't hear exactly what they thought or wanted to hear, but is grateful and keeps an open mind. Kudos to you for having your dog's best interest at heart. She loves ya' and wants to be near her mom - that's a good thing!
