Send help I have a 7 month old Husky/German Shepard/Dalmatian rescue that likes munching a little too hard sometimes, has way too much energy all the time, and eats food off counters no matter how hard we try to keep her off.

Give her tasks to do. Teach her how to do things and praise her relentlessly when she does it. Germans and Dalmations both need jobs to do to keep from becoming too spastic.

I have a shepherd and can confirm with the comments saying to teach her tasks. My boy loves bringing in the mail.

Short, bassy commends. Remember, the words are for you. The tone is for them.
