Izellah is a good dog, I'm not going to lie but I'm at a loss on how to fix this problem I'm having with her and it's driving me crazy.
She has these moments of "outburst" where she will go nuts and won't listen to anyone or anything we have to say. When she isn't having these burst of energy, she's is completely fine and listens to me well. Despite the amount of exercise she gets and how much I work her and practise her commands, she still has little to no control when her "skin itches" and she gets the zooms.
I twisted my hip today badly from her jumping on me and me falling back trying to get away. Usually when she has these episodes, she will run around in circles and lunge at me full speed. No matter how I tell her to stop or try to get away from her, she continues to do it. Even when I fully ignore her, she sees it as an opportunity to up the antics. She will even bite me at these times as well but will never do it at any other times.
She also jumps on other people a lot too. She gets too excited when meeting new people and other dogs. She's started to bark on leash because she gets frustrated that she can't greet them. She's never done this before.
Is this normal for her age? She's 15 months old now and it seems like we've been having more bad days than good. What am I doing wrong?
