Dog Health Questions: Dog training questions?

Ok so i have a toy fox terrier. she is 2 1/2 years old but we just got her about 2 weeks ago. i knew her before we got her because she was a family members but the person could not take care of her so i decided to take her. She has a ton of problems im trying to fix but i need help. 1. using the carpets as a restroom. ive been taking her out every hour or so and saying go potty when she goes and giving her treats but it isnt working i have also been using spray and wash and febreeze wher she goes. 2.she wont sleep in her kennel or stay in it for a few min. she whines like crazy when she is in it. she has a little carrier for it so its not like its too big. i give her treats and everything and when i put her in it she will lay down but when i walk away she will come out or if the door shuts she will whine. 3. she has really bad seperation anxity whenever someone leaves the house she tears up the door scratching and whining even if you give her like a kong or a bone to chew on. 4 she wont let me trim her nails or brush her teeth. 5. she barks like crazy when someone walks down the road in front of our house or someone comes in our house even if she liked them the last time they were here. the hair stands up on her neck and she chases them but she never bites. i dont want to hit her or spray water at ehr or anything i want it to be positive training because she is a very stressed little puppy.

Wow. It does sound like that dog is stressed! If you have a good size yard, I suggest a electric fence. But not the traditional kind. When my dog was doing the same thing we got this, http://www.thepetstoreonline.com/petsafe-pif-300-instant-wireless-dog-fence.html Make sure her kennel is big enough and every time she goes in it, give her a treat and a hug. Say stuff like "good girl". I know some people who do that and their dog can't wait to go in the kennel! Also add a food and water bowl in the kennel. They sell thing that hook to the side. I can't believe I'm writing all this! I'm not much of a dog expert but I do have some experience ha ha. Or if all that doesn't work, put your dog in the kennel and leave her their. I know she will whine but she will eventually go to sleep. Do that every night and sooner or later she'll start walking to her kennel and go in by herself. Also to help with training tell her "bed" every time you put her in the kennel. We have trained my dog so we just say "bed Trudy" and she goes in all by herself. No whining, no running away, nothing. If you have work or school during the day you can put her in the kennel or leave her to tun the house. If you leave her to run the house make sure she can not get into anything valuable. Put up doggy gate to place with no door that you don't want her getting into. Like the up stairs, the laundry room, ETC. If you're worried about pee you might want to put her in the kitchen. she might scratch at the door or pee the first few times but eventually she will learn. I suggest giving her a toy filled with peanut butter because then she will have something to do while you gone. make sure she has bed, food, and water with her. when you get home let her out to potty right away. when people come to the house hand them a treat and tell them to give it to her. after a while she'll learn that a new person means another treat. for trimming nails u can use a pedipaw and have someone keep her calm while you trim them. brushing teeth you brush while someone else holds her or vice versa. i hop this helps!!!
