Pitbull acting agressive?
pit bull spaniel mix is very energetic and is running all over the house!! I tried to calm her down taking her outside and playing with her but she didn't anything she just sat by the door. I brought her in and she ran to each couch and started biting them I firmly told her no and she growled and barked and she also bites me alot when I play with her and I feel like she gets to excited. She only acts this way with me and I'm with her the most she's only 4 months is this normal puppy behavior. I'm taking her to training classes too and it doesn't seem to be helping. they said when her eyes dilate to just let her calm down but how do I calm her down should I put her in the cage tell she calms down? What should I do??

You have a high energy dog that needs more exercise. You have to take her for long runs, bike, rollerblade, etc. You have to tire her out before you can do any training. Second you have to start getting her to be calm submissive. To calm her down you should have her on the leash and just have her wait at your side until she does. The difficult part is the waiting. Nowadays people have a hard time waiting, everything has to be done now. You are dealing with a dog and a greater amount of time and patience is needed. You should also practice not giving her anything or doing anything unless she is calm. Do not feed, water, pet, praise, etc unless she is in a calm submissive state.
Those are just a few things to try.
