Thanks, krysalyss, I will try what you have suggested tomorrow. We have somewhere I can easily tie her up on a long lead, we use it when the horse is in the arena or the dog goes berserk!

AngelPants, we are on several acres and she has plenty of exercise and much to keep her occupied. Being a GS, she spends much of her day running from the chooks to the horses to the rabbit to us, checking on her 'flock'.

I just had a friend come to visit and the dog jumped up on her several times - muddy paws all over her WHITE top! I don't want a dog I have to lock away when we have visitors, I want a well behaved, obedient dog I can trust.
