She is coming round. It is quite sweet because she is a bit afraid of dogs (we are originally from South Africa where a lot of people have scary...
We have a gate across the kitchen too, but last weekend I took Chewiebto my parents' place where there is no gate, and though they like Chewie...
I think people use the tinned sardines- preferably in water, but failing that in plain oil I guess. It is pretty messy, but I'm sure the dogs love...
I so feel your pain about people who don't attend to their dogs! We were working on LAT in our local park (not a "dog park", but an off lead...
This is completely normal at 10 weeks. Your pup doesn't know what no means, and probably sees the engagement as play- hence the toe biting....
This is good to know as it is what I have been doing with Chewie! Our morning on lead walks are a dawdle. I let him sniff, then click when he...
Thanks for posting this Jo. I always worry that my boy is too thin (he is around 23kg and 10 months) and my husband thinks I'm crazy. We can't see...
We use vet bed in the crate, on top of a sturdy mattress that fits snugly in the crate. The vet bed is the only thing that he hasnt destroyed and...
Like Jade, my pup is allowed on the sofa and sleeps in his own crate. If the sofa is fully occupied he knows to lie down elsewhere.
Yup, my husband and I will be looking at one another, trying to ignore the dog and not laugh and then he makes the most absurd noise and we just...
Ours is similar, but probably a bit less vocal. He whines when *I* am in the house and he can't see me (but not with my husband! Such a mummas...
My pup still does this at 10 months, although the intensity is decreasing and he doesn't do it all the time. He is a very chatty dog though, so...
Good luck to you and your girl. Hope everything goes smoothly.
There are some pictures floating around of yellow labs with birthmarks that pigment the skin and fur. Maybe this is what you've come across?
Agree about the local Lab club. That's how we narrowed down our list of breeders. It also depends what you want to do with the dog- for example if...
Funnily enough, with his kongs and certain treats Chewie now waits of his own accord until we say he can have them. I do always make sure that he...
I have heard that dogs become more affectionate once they mature- maybe because they are less "busy?" I don't know how much truth there is in...
Our trainer taught "leave it" until I tell you to "take it." I agree that it can be a bit confusing when you want them to leave something...
Chewie is the same. You can put a filled kong down in front of him and he will wait for permission to take it. It is so satisfying to see. I...
We are 10 months old on Friday and I feel like we are making progress with LAT. Today was an excellent learning opportunity as we crossed the road...
