The dog needs rehabilitation, consisting of life enrichment games and puzzles(kong toys, puzzle games with hidden treats to learn to move for a hidden treat, etc., searching out hidden treats/toys about the house or yard with you pointing them out at first and lots of praise & celebration upon her finding them), a good course of home obedience training and lots of daily walking and real connection with you to make her life enjoyable and keep her busy learning and working toward a purpose will teach your baby how to control her impulses and her behavior. Keeping her obedience training very short - 5 mins. a day x2 daily with lots of treats and praise for getting it right and in no time your dog will begin to learn how to bring herself under control at your word and behave better. You can utterly reshape a dog's behavior by simply enriching its life and working with it to teach it what it needs to know.

A high-energy, bored terrier with little work, learning or fun in its life will look for things to keep the boredom at bay - like we do when we read a book or twirl a pencil or take a walk or go to the movies. Keeping a dog just a little busy for a while early on in its rehab period playing with it, tossing a ball and its squeaky toys and playing tugowar for 15 minutes, teaching obedience for 5 mins. x2 daily, having it working at a a series of 3 kong toys filled with kibble for 45 minutes to get its dinner rather than serving it in a bowl, and a 15 - 30 min. walk won't take a lot of your day and will totally bond your dog to you and completely remake its behavior - if, if, if you do it right and keep your interactions with the dog loving, patient, fun and upbeat. Taking the time to train a misbehaving, wild dog and reshape its behavior is the best time you will ever spend and the rewards are a thousandfold.
