We Are Adopting A Beautiful 2 Year Old Retriever/greyhound And Want To Crate Train…?

Should she sleep in the crate, or should we take her bed out of her crate and bring it in our bedroom with us (I’ve read that dogs are pack animals and should sleep with their pack)? At what times do we tell her to go in her crate (other than when we’re gone)? Should we banish her to her crate when she is bad, or should it be viewed as a positive place?

Teaching My 7 Year Over Nervous Dog To Walk On A Lead.?

okay, i have quite a big problem.
my dog is 7, she is a collie X greyhound. she loves being out running and is so happy. but when she is home she always looks so sad and has her tail between her legs even when she comes to us for fuss (which is very rare). she has always been like this so we believe it is bred in her.
we are not able to take her for a run everyday because the place gets so muddy and wet. we would love to be able to take her for a walk but once on th lead she pulls and yelps and whines all the time. so we cannot take her. and we cant then take the other dogs either because we can leave her home alone because she just whines all the time.
we tried taking her to dog training classes but because she was so scared she did everything straight away, but she is nothing like that at home. she is extremely nervous and runs and hides from everyone except us.
any ideas?
