Re: Sudden Lunge, Grab, Bite Episodes

Regardless if the cause is excitement or that and a little edge, obedience classes are a must. We have a very excitable dog and we provide plenty of avenues for him to release his energy. However a command is a command. It needs to be followed even if he hasn't yet had decent exercise for the day. Since your girl is 2.5 yo she is more than capable of focusing in her hyper mode to your commands. Definitely enroll her in classes which will also give you an opportunity to discuss and perhaps display this behavior to receive an opinion by a trainer.
