Default Evidently, I am terrible at dog training

Two years ago we adopted a dog who was around 2-3 years of age from the shelter. Fonzie is-we're pretty sure-a corgi something mix. We are fairly certain he spent most of his life in a kennel. From the moment he came home, he has been highly anxious. They told us he was crate trained, but any attempts to crate him results in him getting very upset; we attempted put up gates to keep in in the kitchen when we were gone and he chewed them the shreds and managed to get out anyway.

My biggest issue with him right now is the revenge peeing. He gets mad at us and goes and pees, either in my daughters room or on the living room carpet. He also hates being outside if the weather is anything but sunny, dry, and very warm and on days like today that it's wet and rainy he not only refuses to go outside, but when we put him on the leash and take him he sits by door and whines until he can come and immediately goes and pees somewhere. I'm so frustrated!

Right now he's really mad because I put in in a harness instead of a collar. This is because a few days ago I took him out to go and get the kids from school, he saw a rabbit and took off after it, and I was left standing behind with a collar attached to a leash . I need to know he's safe with us, so we got him a (very nice, padded, mesh across the chest) harness that fits him just fine. He has spent the past two days pouting and refusing to move any more than necessary. I really thought he would get over it faster than this.

This dog is a part of the family, we all love him like crazy. But, he's not directly obedient to us or the kids and the peeing HAS TO STOP! I need people's best tips for working with a smart, stubborn, anxious dog.

I wanted to add, we did try to just have a crate that he could sit in that was always kept open for him. He peed in it and all around the sides of it, so I had to remove it from the house .

Also wanted to come back and add a picture of my cutie. We really do love him, I’m just exasperated
