I have a 22 month old german sheppard female. she is a good tempered dog when she's on the leash she is super behaved. As soon as she is aware that she is off the leash she turns into a completely different dog. For example today I took her to the back yard to pee and took her off the leash, I couldn't catch her to come back she began to bark, and nip me. I tried to ignore the behaviour and she continued. I ignored her for about twenty minutes and she continued to bark and tried to get my attention. I finally distracted her I caught her and told her that she was bad and put her back on the leash. How do I get this behaviour to stop, or will it just stop automatically with age?? Help!!!
