Zelda is perfect in every way, and she is actually a very good girl, with a few exceptions in certain situations.
She already knows sit, stay, fetch, bring, laydown, and all of the basic commands. I thought it was pretty early for a boxer to be doing all of that @ 10 months, but they are very smart!
One of the situations is Jumping! Whenever she meets a new person, or even walks by one, she starts jumping up and lunging at whoever it is! When we have a visitor, same thing, she will jump on them, not letting them walk through the hallway, and then she even sometimes pees on the floor she gets so excited!
Is there anything we can do to "curb" her excitment? I tell people to just stick you knee up when they come over, but some people just freeze, and don't know how to react.
Another thing is, whenever I take her to the park, or the beach, I love to give her the freedom to roam about, and run around as she pleases, but all of a sudden, she something will trigger her to start barking! I don't mean like a woo woo, or like a "COME PLAY WITH ME" type of bark. When she does it, it sounds like she has contracted rabies or something, she gets down in front and raises her buts in the air and just barks her loudest! I've tried everything! she will go for an hour if I let her! I was thinking about getting her an electric bark collar, because I want to stop this behavior immediately!
Is there a more humane way to go about this than electricution?
ANY suggestions would help!
