So you can spend hours at the gym but are too busy to walk and train a young gundog? So you over-exercised a growing dog? Is this wise? It can harm growing joints to over-excercise. You need a sensible routine - twice a day for 30 minutes or so. Plus two ten minute training sessions. NOT a `beasting` occasionally.
She's been absolutely perfect until about an hour ago.. I was telling her to go away, she wanted to be touching.. I'd tell her to go away, shed come back instantly, shed already just been out.. and then she flipped jumping up on me and I ignored for at least 5minutes by this point she was nipping my hands and then pee'd on the carpet and jumped at me again.
Why didn`t you let her out to pee and then train the dog? This was an ideal opportunity to spend five minutes teaching her something and using that response instead of winding her up?
When she was out before I watched her pee, alot.
I'm always always paranoid about her peeing in the house still or pooing, I dont think it shows and when she wanders into the kitchen I dont jump up and follow her anymore but its always on my mind.
So am I transferring that to her without thinking I am?
Maybe she has a bladder problem?
Have you asked the vet to check her out
What would YOU guys do in this situation, how would you handle a dog that just flips out.
Heh, maybe she is bi-polar!?
No. She is mismanaged. And I doubt people with mental health issues would find that very amusing.
So so so frustrating though because shes so nice sometimes but it seems if she doesnt get her way.. that is the problem!

I suggest you buy books by Gwen Bailey and Jean Donaldson and learn how to train a young gundog.
