I agree with exercise and walks.......I have just started Tiara getting acclimated with the treadmill. It's freezing outside and we have about 3 feet of snow on the ground. No walks happening anytime soon. I have noticed that she has become very "crazy" over the past three days. I have increased her crate time which I know only gets her more amped up, but she will get it eventually. This has to be directly attributed to the lack of exercise and boredom.
Also, while playing, I always stop at around 2 min intervals and make her sit & stay for a time. Controlling the game and her excitement. She gets it....and has been slowly improving. Once she gets to that "crazy" state, its hard to get her calm. So, by never allowing her to get there in the first place really helps.
My 8 year son is having a very difficult time with her. She sees him as a Toy or food he thinks. It just takes time and consistency I guess. Similar to raising a child in so many ways.
