my retreiver puppy

Question
my question to you is...why does my 10 month old female golden retreiver run right into at full speed?? She comes at you from behind and straight on.  I have 3 kids that have not yet been seriously injured from this bad behaviour. How do I make her stop???

Answer
That is a form of play, what one dog does to another.  I know of no successful technique.  I guess the same as jumping and biting, deny her attention.  When she slams into somebody, everybody walks away leaving her by herself.  That ought to take the fun out of it.  It may take a while, but she should catch on eventually.
