At our wits end

Our 1.5 year old husky mix that we rescued from a shelter is giving us a lot of difficulty. We tried potty training her after she had some initial incidents.

Basically, In the crate, then outside to potty then reward, then back in the crate if we’re working. We didn’t want to put her back in the crate initially after going potty but one time she went potty and we let her roam more and she immediately had an accident even though she just went. So we tried to enrich her crate. But now she will not come back inside for hours and gets destructive. Also we’ll miss appointments because she’ll refuse to come in for hours. She has to pee off leash and then roams for hours. She will NOT pee on a leash. She’s afraid of everything and has anxiety and when she’s on leash she just gets tangled and gets scared.

So now we’re trying to go back to square one of trying to get her to pee on a leash so she can get comfortable with going and coming in and then playing. So now we’ve added that she’s on leash to pee but all she does is sit on my feet or lay down. She refuses to pee she’s just holding it in.

To top it all now she is refusing to even leave the crate now. We’re at the point of talking about rehoming but we really don’t want to do that because she is sweet. We have high value treats and we try every we read here. What are we doing wrong?
