Hello all.
Just adopted out a young female (~1 1/2 yrs) to a wonderful young couple. She is doing reasonably well, and they really like her. Today they went to work the first time and the girl got out of the crate - easy enough to fix (hopefully).
What I need help with: they let her out in the yard to do her business - she wants to come in right away if they do not stay out there with her. She will paw on the door, and run back and forth to the two entry doors, and not calm down.
Aside from protecting the wood work, can any of you come up with suggestions on how to desensitize her? I'm sure they are willing to work with her, but need some guidance.

Thanks in advance.
