Unfortunately, my 1 year old husky can no longer be trusted alone. She did great for 2 months in the hallway with all her toys and then she turned 1 and decided to repeatedly rip up the carpet. The first time we thought it was an accident that her bully got stuck in the corner.
Rant aside, we've reverted back to crate training and it's been progressing ever so slowly. I am at a stage where I'm trying to keep crate specific toys, i.e. Kong, smoked shin bone in the crate with the door open. However, my girl just goes in and brings them out to the carpet. I know you can tie the toys to the cage but from a training stand point, can I focus on anything specific? Also, we are attempting to put her in there when she is sleepy, but I think her anxiety starts to overcome it. The second she comes out though, she goes to her spot and falls asleep.   

Well you should only give them to her when she is shut (locked) in her crate. She shouldn't be able to access the 'special' crate toys unless she's locked in her crate. If she has access to them all the time they aren't special anymore, so there's no way that she will connect access to those things with her crate. Re-training is not going to be easy. It's going to be as loud and frustrating as it was when she was little, only now she's bigger and louder.

We did start off by locking her in there with the special toys but then she didn't pay attention to them. I read somewhere that by doing that then she'll associate them with a trap. She actually took to the crate good when she was younger but always had an issue when we left the apartment. I guess we will change up our strategy. We're back at square one anyway. Is it possible to speed up time alone shut in the crate since she is already house broken?
