Just curious if that's to why her dogs may be so hyper because they are stuck inside most of the day?
They are hyper because they are Labs, and jump all over you because they have not been trained not to! Dogs need time with you, and training, and if you are not home, inside is better than out for safety. But neither inside or out will keep a Lab mix from being energetic!
