How to train a Noodle

[LadyFae]

Yep, they are crazy smart and THAT is why they can be such buggers to train.  They are stubborn and LOVE to push the boundries so constantly need reminding of their manners!  I know it sounds impossible, but with a running start 9 feet is totally doable!  She is such a gorgeous girl, BTW!  I love how you can look at her and KNOW she is a female.  Some friends of ours have a female GSP like that and our male is DEFINATELY looks male!  I met one female GSP one time who would jump backflips anytime her owner would leave her in the car.  That was crazy to watch, you wouldn't think that she'd have room!  I love these crazy dogs!

So today we worked on boundaries of the yard and not chasing chickens. When we were relaxing and playing on the yard she burst into a furry ball of energy and danced on my throat about twenties times than sat there and stared at me like "Why aren't you playing?"

Unfortunately for me she's learned that there is no stopping her when she's off leash. Time to start some off leash work. I think I am going to keep the harness for her cause it gets her mind in "work mode" and she calms down so much more.

Why do I have a feeling this is going to involve me exhausted  and her running back and forth behind me?

I am really starting to get more and more attached to this dog!
