ok I will be blunt and to the point here. You picked the wrong breed of dog to be left outside on their own most of the time! This is a very social working breed, she's bored and very lonely. Which is why she gets so excited when people come. HELLO ATTENTION !!!! Also sounds to me that her favorite people are children, they play!!! We own 3 rotts 2 females and 1 male. They all are INSIDE DOGS!!! We also breed the pups are also inside for socialization & training. I start with training as soon as they are moble with their eyes open. Females are my favorite, very easy to train and extremely affectionate. Males are more work the trick is keeping their attention. She is challenging your authority becouse for some reason she thinks she's the alpha female. I am alpha here. Rotties generally will start to get aggressive towards people when they are left alone due to pure frustration. They have to be a part of your life. They have the intelligency of a 4-5 year old child so she's more aware of things than you know. What I tell my people when they ask about training and things is very simple. Treat them as you would a human child yours not yours, that's good that's bad, this is what I expect this is wrong encouragement for good behavior that's my good girl give her a treat, no bad girl send her to her corner. My vet is our county's animal control he says I have the best behaved & happiest rotts he's ever seen. Even the kennels say the same. All the people (13 pups) are very happy with temperment and behavior. She runs from you because she knows your gonna tie her up and she's gonna be alone again she's still a baby she wants to play and be loved. Try to keep her with you, she's good therapy for you and others. There's nothing better than complete and total unconditional love it's not stupid affection either there's a intelligent caring behind it. My kids are 7yrs.,5yrs.,& 2yrs. old, now they really don't have a job to do, but they are included in everything even if just following me with me talking to them. But being tied up and kept away from people is almost way to aggression. For example when someone comes over you want to know who they are don't you? It's the same for her, this is my family who are you, why are you here? Most rotts will not allow anyone on the premises until they meet them first. Usually one or two meetings and they remember the person, excitement for the first five minutes hello, how are you, I'll go lay down now. Although for you since she's already 1 year old it'll take some work, but the less she's separated from everything the faster she'll start to relax more. Constant praise or repremand don't slack off! Has to be constant. Female are usually really easy. When she gets really excited hold her collar, kneel down and rub her chest. It's very calming for them it's a spot they can't get to :), rubbing her chest will calm her in most situations. There's a lot more I could go on and on about, but I have to get my work done. One more thing rotts generally aren't good with other house pets, but we also have 2 cats (12 yrs.&11yrs.), ok here's the really good one a 3# rabbit that runs loose(she's 2yrs.old). I hope this stuff helps you, and it doesn't make you want to get her a new home. I guarantee you'll be extremely pleased with the results. Here's my email if you want to talk more mrottff3@aol.com
I hope this is the kind of help you wanted
