Pretty much any dog that is acting up at home, isn't getting enough running.
I have an acquaintance who refused to take their retriever off leash ever, and needless to say it is a horrid dog. It eats its own ****, ALL THE TIME.

I'll second this in a big way. A good run off leash is the best medicine and also gives the dog good socialization. The one thing I would add though, that I'm sure everyone already knows, is that the dog should have basic obedience before being let off leash. . . to avoid problems.
On a sidenote I can't believe how expensive things like doggy daycare or pet insurance are. . . . it costs more than what I pay for myself consarnit. The pet industry is a bunch of no good cheats.
