Thank you so much for the great advice. I'm going to look into a different collar. She wears one all the time around the house but I think if she was being sneaky she should easily slide out of it. The snap collar is a great plan and I think we'll try that. She didn't come with a harness and this is the second one we've gone through.
I got her from a friend who breeds them. She was given to an elderly lady to keep company but the woman was far more fond of her cats and didn't understand why she wanted to eat the cat food and sleep in the cat's bed. hehe.  She's a pure bred and the runt of the litter. I love her. She's absolutely a hoot. I was worried that'd I'd fail as an owner but I'm impressed daily by what she's learning. Her bathroom behaviors are always improving and she's starting to pick up on sit. She's crate trained but I'm trying to get her to learn when I leave for work to go in there. I can trick her at times but if anyone has a good way to get her to willingly go in I'd be greatly appreciative.
I am on here daily reading advice. I am so thrilled there is such a wealth of accessible knowledge! Thanks!!!!
I will get pictures of her up in the near future.
