I know I have posted before about my troubles with my BM puppy. She is now 10.5 months old and we generally do pretty well. Most days are manageable with me at work and hubby taking care of her. He cannot walk her but he can do some easy training. I walk her daily, we go to the park, we just came back from the lake. We started beginners agility and we are starting scent work as you all suggested.
She goes nuts....very excitable then lunges at me, biting the leash-changed to a chain and it helped. Now she just jumps at me! I ignore her and turn away from her and she stops. She gets in a zone and nothing will stop her! She gets a hold of something(like another dogs coller) and locks down on it. We stopped going to the dog park because of this.
What causes this? Seems to be when she is tired or over excited. At times out of the blue.
I try treats, redirecting with toys, and at times I am physically firm.
We put her in the crate for a 10 min time out.
Too much activity??? Not enough??? Several more months of this????? Don't know if I can it.
A prong collar will be the next purchase. And a whistle to break "the zone".
I suck.....
