We have two outdoor dogs. Kaiser is purebred gsd and Lucy is a mix. We bring them indoors often when we are home and they are very well behaved and we have been successful with training. Outdoors is a very different story.
I'm pretty sure that they know that the house is our territory, but as soon as we step outside they perceive it as their territory.
They go crazy- running and playing very aggressively, jumping on each other and me. They rarely listen to the commands that they obey inside. This can go on for a long time. Kaiser is only one and he will run or jog around the yard continuously for at least 20 minutes without stopping, and he still has plenty of energy to spare. (mind you, they LIVE outside...this is not after being cooped up inside!)
Anyways - I don't know how to "take back" the backyard and become pack leader EVERYWHERE.
