3. Take it to training class. Local Petco should offer a basic one.
4. Get a training collar that allows you to deliver audible, vibration, and shock messages to help in training, esp if allowing it to run off leash.

A tired dog is a well-behaved dog

I take my pooch to the dog park and/or long hikes several days per week. She is only 1.5 years old and she is surprisingly mellow and trouble-free when she is asleep.

If I don't exercise the dog, well, she ate a large cardboard box yesterday in my living room.
