I have a 1yr old yellow lab which I eventually would like to train for upland bird. The problem is I only have about 80 percent control over her off leash in the enclosed back yard. I do not trust her obeying when out of the yard. More importantly she will not listen to the wife or kids, however when she sees me there is complete change. She is like a light switch, one minute she is very docile and then the next she is like the dog in "Marley and Me". Completely out of control. She has been like this since we had her at 7 wks of age.
Any guidance or known trainers in the area would greatly appreciated.
