We have a 5 year old bit*h. Been with us since leaving her mother at 3 months old (approx). Grown up on a small livery yard originally with an older shepherd which had to be put so sleep 2-3 years ago. At this time she was 3rd in the pecking order then tried to move into top place until our little russell put her back into 2nd place. I am the 'feeder' morning and night, she constantly follows me around the yard whenever i come out of the back door. She will bark at my husband if he makes his way up towards the stables, and barks at the liveries when they arrive - havent had any new liveries for 2 years now so she should know them! She tries to climb in through the front window if left outside, i have a baby gate at the back door so it can be left open but keeps the dogs outside for a bit. She does get extremely giddy when given attention, so much so i nearly get knocked over, shes becomes quite hysterical. She finds it hard to settle if i or my hubby and i are sitting outside whilst trying to chill after everyone has gone home. Any advice would be greatly appreciated if anyone has come across this kind of behavior or if you would like anymore info on her behavior, please reply

Oh dear. Sounds like sepertion &/ anxiety doesnt it. I am no expert so cant offer any advice. I have always had GSDs, but never had any of the problems you mention? I would imagine a vet would put you in touch with a behavioural specialist, but this can be very expensive. Hopefully an expert will come on HG and give you some free advise? Sorry cant be of more help.......Good luck

if this were my dog....
first thing i would do is reinforce (if youve already taught her) the sit....
i hate dogs that jump up and are too uncontrolable (one of mine was like this not anymore)!...
mabey try clikcer training....? worked well with one of mine... ignorre bad behaviour and reward goood...
thats what i would start with if she were mine...
failing that - pm me n i'll give you the name of abrilliant dog forum - save your money..!
