I wouldn't have her play tug with the dog, and I'd be looking to manage the hyper-ness with calm, with exercise, with training, etc. I would not allow the dog to jump on the GF (what a vicious circle!), who then reacts excitedly. I'd manage it. Nothing to do with e-collar, prong, or any tools. A lot more to do with you being on the end of that line.
The dog is in a hopeless situation.
Send her to me Jeff.
Mind if I ask just what you're doing with this dog? Or just what do you want besides not jumping on people from this dog?
Just what DO you do with this dog, or more to the point what ARE you doing with this dog?
It sounds like this animal well beyond what you expected and perhaps what you can reasonably be expected handle.

I have to say I have bitten my e-tongue several times to keep from typing this.

Sounds good
Good. Managing comes FIRST. Managing and exercise probably eliminate 75% of the problems that many folks post with young dogs. (This dog isn't even a year old, as I recall.)
Managing would break this jumping cycle. That is, the dog is not in a position to run over and jump on someone who reacts with excitement. The dog is on the end of a line that you are holding, and/or tired out and asleep from all the playing and training you do with her.

The drag line helps...as long as it doesn't get caught on some kind of furniture
I think we have strayed a bit from the topic title, so from here on out I will start a thread titled "Heidi's Retraining" and continue the discussion there. You have all been a great help. I will begin to post more updates on tuesday after I watch these DVDs

I would never give this dog up
For now all I am wanting/expecting to achieve is good solid obediencce, and maybe in another years time pretty good off leash control.
Later, it would be interesting to see if I could gain the skill to train her to follow a blood trail. It would be nice during bow season.

While you are expecting solid obedience from her, I hope you are giving equal if not more consideration to what SHE needs in order to be able to bond with you and be willing to obey.
