    My Lab Desmo has just turned 6 months and over the last few weeks he' s regressed into an absolute demon. Up until then his training was going really well, walking nicely on the lead etc.now he's started pulling like a trogon, barking at everything and play biting me again. All previous training tecniques work but as soon as he has had his reward he's off again. He's the 3rd Lab I've owned and I seem to be having more problems with this one than the others put together, maybe working Labs are more of a handful or I'm just getting older!

    You have a teenager. Need I say more

    Molly is working line and was really hard work as a young pup and as a teenager was a nightmare. At 14 months she is showing considerable improvement.

    Ah bless him. Sounds like he has become a bit of a teenager. Back to basics and deep breath it will pass. My Meg is 9 months and pure working background, she is settling now. Keep training training training and enjoy :)

    Yep, back to basics, keep going with your training, and he'll eventually settle again :)

    They can be rather trying in the 'teens' but just keep reminding yourself that there is a sane dog somewhere out there on the other side :)
