Well let's see, she is extremely attached to me, is fine with immediate family members, completely untrutworthy around younger kids, loves the dobes and the cats. Has separation issues, food and toy issues with the other dogs, but not people. As for the redirect of giving her something else to do to earn praise etc. we have done this, we have been working on this behaviour issue for close to 9 months now, we have engaged a behaviorist from the vets bulletin board, she is amazing on command work sit stay down come etc. It is the incessant barking she does when anyone comes in the door, or to the door. She will do this when our son comes home from school, when a client enters the business door , the mail comes in, Dad comes in from the laundry room.
We have to date used every method that I know of and btw we never hung her by the collar , we use a prong on her for a quick check correction she doesn't even pay attention to it, we have tried using my husband to redirect and engage her in an approriate activity, cans with rattles, water spray, we passed on the shock collar reccomendation from the local trainer,

She is right there to see the Dobes and how they react, I think Rusty and Sequoia think she is a bit bizarre as they will bark and when told " Ok that it thanks" they go lie down. Sequoia had a bit of a charging issue at the house door but quickly retrained out of it (less than a week) so we are not only frustrated but truly at a loss, her vet has broached daily meds (doggie downers) but I would much rather exhaust everything I can before committing her to daily Puppy Prozac.
