Yeah, I don't think it will fix the 'bite inhibition' part, but tiring Opie will definitely help with the excess energy she has, so it does not get directed towards you.But if exercising her for 2 hours would fix what I have right now I’d do it with no second guesses.
But to really get her satisfied, she does have to catch and 'kill' her prey, so the laser doesn't really help with that. Try the wand toy, and throw some scrunched up paper, and see if she will fetch.
I know someone mentioned in your other threads about wearing gloves, while petting her, and that really is not a bad idea, if it prevents you from being bitten while altering her behaviour. Something like biking gloves, soft leather gloves, car gloves, work gloves, etc.
If you can figure out what triggers her, to lash out and bite, then that will help with trying to alter that behaviour.
That's why a little notebook, and observing her, while sleeping, eating, playing, etc will help.
(Videos are the best, though, I love videos.)
