She's a puppy and she wants to play. A tired puppy is a good puppy, but getting one to stay tired takes alot of time and energy.

You might want to work on the barking. I only say that because it sounds like it might cause problems with your neighbors. Reward the bejezzus out of her when she's quiet!

Ginger's Mom: I do something similar with Deuce. He's a rambunctious boy and has no clue how big and strong he is. Sometimes he gets so excited that I can't even open the gate to go into his pen safely! I tell him to "use your manners, Deuce." He knows that means lay down just past the gate. He doesn't know what "lay down" means, but he knows how to use his manners!
