Thanks for the replys. I was wondering about the " Physcial contact " part. My 7 month female Mal seems to demand immediate contact right after she is let out of her kennel ; however once training commences she could really care less about physcial contact and simply wants to bite or have a food reward <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I would think this comes from pressure from the handler. I don't know if it fits your situation, but a dog that is more handler sensitive, and trained with compulsion (more compulsion than inducive) could feel like it is in the pressure cooker. I have seen this.
I just see that as frustration(you've been gone) and banging around with you is fun. I'm sure it is some sort of drive, just don't care. I like my explanation better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Brad,
I think a lot of this is pent up energy, and maybe a little pack dynamic...enthusiasm for "da boss".
This 30-second period of insanity is a GREAT training opportunity to teach self-control. You can cue a quick sit before the excitement gets too high, followed up by immediately allowing the physical contact and play (gradually increasing the time she must exhibit self-control).
That's good training....to use that drive (whatever you want to label it) to your advantage. And fun too!
