I find breed generalizations to be mostly counter-productive. And "tougher" (whether it's the individual or what) is an opportunity. Not PC -- just what is most productive (after lots of years and just about every breed).

Erica Mason Webboard User Reg: 03-22-2010 Posts: 21 Loc: Outerbanks NC Offline	If I make her wait until very last..I have a bit more control over her behavior...she will sit "with ants in her pants" so to me its not really a sit (she is cheating)..until I get a lead on her. If I try to move her any other time we go back to freak mode.. Thank You Connie for your help.. e

If I try to move her any other time we go back to freak mode.. So it's not the time of day ... exactly what is it that triggers "freak mode" and tells her it's excitement time? The leash?

Lauren Jeffery Webboard User Reg: 01-16-2010 Posts: 1389 Loc: Offline	I wonder if you not only closed the gate, but walked away if it would help. My dog once gave me a black eye jumping up. I leaned over just slightly to pet her while she was doing the "ants in the pants" sit, and *POW*, she got me right in the eye with her nose. I couldn't see normally for about 20 minutes. Now If i don't get a real sit out of her I just keep walking. She doesn't come out of the crate until she is calm. The door is closed right on her if she tries to bolt out. Once she is out I walk away and completely ignore her if I don't get a real sit while I put her collar on. She never jumps on me anymore.

I dont think its the leash.. It could be as simple as me turning on the porch light .. e
