Have you tried a long training lead? You can gradually give her more and more lead as her recall gets better and you can leave it on the ground if she wants space to run. Our lad went a bit nuts at 7 months and didn't calm down until he'd had the snip. He'll still go if he sees a squirrel but poodles have a strong prey drive. Now though he'll happily stay to heel walking by toddlers (his other favourite 'prey').

Her desire to interact with every dog she sees, no matter how uninterested it might be and her general issues with recall when distracted are the main things we need to work on. I think the two are linked, we're trying to work on getting her attention and getting her to come to us whenever she is distracted or over stimulated. It's useful that she is very food orientated. We're noticing improvement but if anyone has any tips or advice for working on that sort of thing that'd be great.
