okay, i have a 7 month old giant schnauzer. I know not the easiest dog to train, but she does really well except for a couple things. One is the couch territory thing, can't keep her off but we're working on it. The important one is that at least once a day she goes through these BURSTS for lack of a better work. Doesn't matter how much exercise or stimulation she has had that day. I've walked her two miles after playing for a good half hour out in the yard and she's done it. She tears through the house with no abandon, doesn't matter what is in her way including my 100 pound wife and my 40 pound son. We've been trying to control them, eventually if i am home i get her to sit but she has gotten worse when i am not home even growling with her run and nipping at anything that gets in the way, couches, people, etc. Not biting or mouthing, just nipping. My wife is working on dominance techniques but i know i am the alpha to her and i still take a while to get her to stop. Really don't want this problem 30 or even 5 pounds from now. help.
