That is a sign of being timid. So just be patient with her. Place her crate beside your bed so that you can just reach out and reassure her so that she will not feel all alone.

I think crate training is fine & is actually beneficial (as long as it's not abused). And it sounds to me like she just has a mellow kind of personality. Not all dogs, believe it or not, like to play. How old is she? I would think she would be okay to walk a few miles a day if she is an older dog. My 7lb chihuahua loves to walk & walks a few miles w/no problems...starting at 6 months. Not sure if this was helpful but it is my 2 cents. :o) Good luck!

Doing so only reinforces previous behaviours and or fears. Only praise when she displays good behaviour. She needs to be retrained. Only train when you are calm and able to show her leadership. Don't give in to her, this will teach her she can get what she wants, such as scratching at the door. Walk her for about an hour to an hour and a half everyday. No need to worry about the distance use time to monitor her exercise. First of all, you can’t live in the past when dealing with an abused animal.

I found it best to ignore them totally and they will come to you in their own time. They are highly intelligent and if she thinks she can get away with anything, she will. It is easy to walk as far as you want with a pom coz when they get tired you just pick them up and carry them for a while! I wish you the very best with your new fur ball and when you get to know her a bit better you will realise just what a good sense of humour they have as a breed.
