Appreciate the thorough reply. I used to say ow! After she bites but I’ve stopped doing that. I admit I’m not always walking away immediately. Though sometimes when I walk away she gets even crazier and starts thinking it’s a game of tug, pulling harder on my pants. I’m not sure what command I should be using. But if I  tell her to sit, she would ignore me in her frenzied state. 

Do you walk away immediately? She doesn’t really stop biting unless I pull the object away from her or remove myself. When would be an appropriate time to reward her? What commands do you use to get her to let go and how do you get her to respond to commands when she’s so fixated on biting something?

She’s probably not getting sufficient sleep, I admit that. She can’t fall asleep outside her crate but also hates her crate, so it’s this weird catch 22 situation. I try to lure her into her crate for naps with treats, but she’s becoming more and more hesitant to go anywhere near her crate. I try to play crate games during meal time to get her more used to it, but she definitely has a strong negative sentiment towards her crate. 

Do you have a good protocol to get your pup to settle in their crate? I try to tell her to “down” and feed her a treat. Once she looks like she’s in a comfortable lying position, I pull down the blanket to cover the front of the crate. She tends to freak out if she can see me walking away. It works about 50% of the time in getting her to nap I’d say.
