In regards to the 25-30% you said doesn't make it, they need to be a pet saying that to a inexperience breeder they may think they all make great pets and they don't. Any LGD breed needs to be around in close proximity to what they bond with if it's a human that dog is going to want to be their shadow and if they have a job outside the home the dogs become unhappy and develop behavior issues.

hmm the jumping on people response took a turn really quick to the shock collar... this is dangerous. dogs jump to be social with you. they want your attention. you would not want to create a negative or fearful association with this desire, it can trigger aggression at worse, fear of people at best. Instead, focus on rewarding desired calm behavior. Do not open gates until they are calm. do not even look at them if they are jumping on the gate. only move closer if they are calm. if they are frantic and jumping, turn away and do not approach until they are calm. if they jump on you when you walk into the gate, walk right back out. she will learn quick this way.
