pay attention to when he does this.. are you doing a certain thing? coming? going? eating? Can you notice when this behavior starts with the dog? Does he start breathing harder or pacing? If you can catch the behavior BEFORE it starts, put him to the ground and don't let him up every time he does this. This is making him submissive to you. Put a leash on him, high up on his neck like a dog trainer does, this is the most sensitive part on his neck. If he starts his tantrums, yank the chain, not hard, but enough to get his attention and put him to the ground. Only pet him when he is calm and submissive. This helped with my dog who barks at everything!

The barking collar (cruel things they are) and muzzle will be making her worse.
Sounds like she is fitting, either epilepsy or possible brain damage that could have been caused by many things. You didnt say what sort of dog she is, but get her to the vet immediately. Some breeds have genetic neurological problems

HI,
my golden does the same, he does it because he is just a little brat, I am a very passive person, but there is no way in **** I will put up with that, and you should let your dog know, you won't put up with it too. It will take alot of patience. He has bit me 3 times, I will never lower myself to be afraid. I am the alpha. People judge me because my golden doesn't always behave like " THERE DOG DOES" but some dogs are more of a challenge. It is all in luck. I think the reason is though, that they were possibly the runt of the litter, my dog was taken at 4 weeks, and didn't learn to bite soft, I heard it was something dogs learned at 6 weeks, I guess my breeder didn't know what he was doing. Hang in there. (as long as your dog isn't mean with the kids) My dog will only have a tantrum with me, well, because I am the one who tells him what to do. BRAT. he's only 2 , I know he will calm down some day.I would punish him with the broom, because of the fact that he bit me, if you have to throw it at him, Don't let him be the alpha!!! if you do, forget it. You'll end up having to get rid of him. maybe try putting the collar on the highest setting, because I am sure he is stubborn. Remember, it WILL be good for him in the long run. If he is allowed to act in a way that is uncomfortable for you to live with, he will end up going from home to home, or worse euthenized. The last resort, listen carefully, call your vet ,and tell him he has seperation anxiety, he will give you doggy prozac.(lie if you have too) Just remember to not forget his meds, he will get depressed. Soon you will have the doggy of your dreams.

Get the book "Cesar's Way" by Cesar Millan. This guy knows how to turn ANY dog into man's best friend. Celebrities use his info and it works. He has a show on the National Geograhpic channel called "The Dog Whisperer" where he demonstrates his techniques.

I would say see a behavioralist to answer this question correctly....
It may be something that can't be fixed...if that is the case you may be faced with a harder question of your safety....
She could be very territorial..if that is the case you can hope that a behavioralist can help you..however I don't suggestion trying to solve this problem on your own...It sounds like it could be dangerous

Yes, I agree. She may have a brain tumor. Take her to the vet.

your dog has epilepsy, the vet will give phenobarbital for it
my cat had that and died anyway, the medication made him walk sideways and fall over, he did not look happy about it, the poor thing

She has a dominance problem. She wants to be the dominant one and can tell you have issues with discipline. Be firm and be serious when you discipline her. Let her know that you are the boss. Don't be afraid to tell her no.
