Default RE: How to calm a "wild dog"? Please help.

She'll settle down when she reaches a ripe old age of at least a couple of years old. Until then the only way that I've found to settle her down in the house is to exercise her for hours (miles) each day. She obviously is from a healthy hunting bloodline which makes her all the more hyper at her age. It's important that she knows that your family is higher up the pecking order than she is. If she is allowed to outmuscle them and show agression you're going to be in trouble. Avoid tugging games and games that she wins over a human. A playmate (another dog with a docile personality) will let her expend energy.
