I'm not new to dog ownership (my first dog passed away just before christmas of a sudden illness) and so me and my family adopted a new puppy, a stray from a local reserve. Shortly after getting her we noticed she had a limp( mid january) and the vet told us she had a severe knee injury. early february she recieved her surgery (at the age of approx 5-6 months) and the vet told us she would need to be on complete bed rest for 12 weeks. At first it wasn't a big problem the medication made her drowsy and her leg hurt enough that she stayed fairly still. But as the twelve week mark approached she got more and more energy. It's now been over 12weeks the vet said she is allowed to go for a 5 minute walk each day and absolutly no running.She also recently got fixed and because the vet didn't give us any antibiotics after her spaying ( he said she wouldn't need them) her stitches got infected which as you can guess adds up to more bed rest. As you can probably imagine she's hard to contain.
she is now somewhere around 9 months old and we have just begun walking her and all she does is pull, she will choke herself the whole walk with her nose shoved into the ground. another problem is she play very rough and bites... a lot. I know if i don't do something now we will have a real problem. She is a medium sized german sheppard mix (possibly a type of husky).
Please if anyone has any advise of the fastest way to tame her
