Hi
I have a very complicated situation.
My 5 month old puppy is a sweetheart when I'm the only one around, I mean she loves to be petted, she loves when I play with her and her toys, she also likes to lick my hands after I pet her, she doesn't jump on me, she waits to eat until I release her with "ok", she sits and comes on command, she knows how to walk calmly on a leash, etc. and I know she is very smart because she has learned many of these things very quickly.
BUT, whenever she is around other people, she turns into a devil dog, really, even with my family who she sees every single day. I mean, she constantly jumps on everyone, nips their hands and shoes, if someone tries to pet her she will bite their hands or roll on her back keeping people away with her paws. If she is in the front yard, she will bark like hell to anyone that walks near our house, even if I'm outside with her, so I know it is not because she is bored or lonely.
We have another dog, twice her size and age, and whenever we leave them alone, she will play rough with him by going after his neck, or constantly jumping on him. If he has something in his mouth, she will take it from him by bitting him. And our other dog will just bark at her with no results. The only behavior I have managed to teach her when she is around our other dog is that she wont eat from his food bowl when we feed them at the same time, as this was a problem before, even if I make her wait by feeding him before her
I don't know what to do, everyone hates her and she is just a puppy. I have tried trainning her in different places with different people, but she keeps on jumping and nipping on everyone even if they turn the other way without paying her attention. She also "listens" to my commands in different places but if there are any people/dogs near us, she just wont listen.
Please help me
