[blockquote]I’m starting to think your dog doesn’t have such a problem after all, you say she’s friendly, so she just seems to have a bad case of excitement overload. The particular Neo’s I was familiar with hated everyone and everything, including each other and meant business even as pups. I’m no authority (just self taught and self opiniated) but I’m inclined to agree, take a towel, play tug or kick a ball when she starts. I’d still recommend a trainer though, she’s getting on now and ignoring your commands, she’ll be challenging you soon. All the best, Denno.[/blockquote] Hi Denno, This is EXACTLY what we have been thinking all along, it's like sensory overload when she is out in the woods/fields, this is why we think she doesn't act like this ANY other time. She is indeed a very friendly dog, very loving and soppy in the home, always craving affection and following us from room to room. She loves playing with other dogs and is never aggressive, although her "play" can be hilarious when we are talking about the type of dog it is. She was playing with a miniature dachshund not that long ago, and boy this dachshund was game, but she was knocking it about all over the place. We just have to be careful what sort of owners the other dogs have. Some dog owners don't care at all and encourage the dogs to play but others can be quite funny as she is such a large dog. Hence why we always keep her on a lead at the moment as any sign of another dog and she will be over like a shot. We are definitely going to look into getting a trainer, so watch this space!
