It's becoming obvious my dog probably spent all her time in a crate before I got her. She is petrified of outside/grass in general but loves her crate. When I open the door to go out, she won't go, and I have to pick her up and put her out in the grass, even dangling a treat. Inside, she's very happy in her crate and will walk in and out of it while I'm here with her. She also has no issue with the crate at night sleeping 10-4 am, then a potty break, and back in it until 6. However, she will not go out a door to outside at all, and I am also trying to train her indoors on a leash so we can eventually go outside on it as this will be important for vet visits or just walks, etc, and she's not having it. She fights it whenever we train on it. I can't continue to pick her up to go outside in our fenced yard, and of course it adds a ton of time to trying to get out of the house to get to school or work with kids on time. Our last dogs loved outside from day one until they passed. I opened a door and they loved outside, but not my new girl. I've never seen a dog hate outside, hate the front and back door, and hate the leash. She just wants to be inside. Any ideas?
