I am not a proffessional but that sounds more like a dominance issue/boredem issue. High energy dogs need to be given a job or they will respond this way. Also they need to learn you are the boss. For me, with a dog like this, I have had to work to be the Alpha, then I take her out and get her lots and lots of exercise. Some of that exercise needs to be mentally challenging. Just putting on a back pack and making my dog heal for 35-45min a day has helped. Some people who don't have time have found it useful to use a treadmill. It is challenging to get started but once they learn they begin to enjoy it and come to you to get on.

Hope this helps.
