My 10 month old black lab is a real struggle. On the plus side she is not in any way aggressive and pleasant company (most of the time) with the immediate family. However, she is always a heartbeat away from absolute insane excitement. Walking her is a nightmare, her recall has completely broken down, every other dog is a major source of excitement on the lead and a reason to barge people out of the way at speed if off it. I am seriously worried she will knock someone over & hurt them (obviously she has knocked me & the kids over!) she still jumps up & nips strangers on walks. All this despite two good walks a day, plenty of company , training at home and one-to-one sessions with a trainer. We are so restricted as to what we can do with her that it is completely getting me down. I guess I don't need solutions as I have read every book/blog/thread I can find, I just need reassurance she is not a lost cause and she will one day be a lovely family pet
