Our previous lab was as laid back as any dog I have seen. Compared to our current higher energy 2 year old lab she was near comatose all her life. Given that, she could chase a frisbee farther and faster for a longer time than our current one so maybe she stored her energy better. Both yellow labs and both complete opposites in personality. The new one is nearly ADD and Theresa was more calculating. The new one is more ballerina in her stature and the way she moves, the old one was more linebacker in both stature and movement. Our new one had been crated for up to 20 hours a day with the previous owners so she won't even go into her dog house when she is outside. She cannot be left inside the house when we are away because of the issue of being crated so long so we have no choice until she gets past that issue. She is getting better though so they do learn. In your case it may be a matter of having a temporary barrier until she understands that she needs to stay out while everyone else is out. Once she accepts that then the barrier can be removed.
Otherwise, call Cesear.
