Hopefully within 6 to 8 weeks, things will loosen up some. Walking your pup shouldn't be a problem, buy the time he has had all his shots....
Actually Tigard, but no one outside of Oregon knows where that is:cool:. We have been lucky with food guarding. Even though all our Labs have...
In the US, the dogs are getting more walks than normal. It gives their hoomans an excuse to go for a walk.
Cooper will finish any salad that we have left over. About the only thing she absolutely turns her nose up to is Coffee. If there are a few...
Our first Lab, Ginger, used to pick grapes, before we learned that they were bad for her.
I thought some of you would get a kick out of this. We eat a lot of small Mandarin Oranges. Cooper loves them, and will sit a drool until she...
None of our Labs have ever been food aggressive, but if they were, I would just feed them separately. It is not uncommon, though Labs usually...
We don't change foods willy-nilly, but when we have changed either temporarily or long term, it has never been a problem. If the food you are...
I agree with Pippa. My first thought is that your dog has some sort of pain or injury. Years ago I had a young Malamute who suddenly started...
I don't think it is an issue for grown dogs at all. All of our dogs have made many trips up and down stairs every day, and none of them have had...
Cooper is almost 5 and our Granddaughter is 2-1/2. We and her parents are not too concerned about dog licks. After all like most toddlers GD...
I think you could let them be together a little, if you were right there watching and ready to intervene. Our 2-1/2 granddaughter has been around...
We are partial to the synthetic Antlers made from ground antler and nylon. Nylabone and Petstages make them. Real antlers are very hard and can...
Cooper is around 75 lbs. but she is by no means chunky. She is very tall and very fast. She has a small waist relative to her chest.
Has your vet suggested Deramaxx or Rimadyl? Have used both of these in the past on elderly Labs.
I should mention that our preference for Chocolates is based on the appearance, not on any behavior trait. We just like the look of Chocolates.
I guess I have to ask, why are you crating a 2 yr old. Is he house broken? Is it just at night? We crated for a few months, and used a puppy...
I think I would try the crate with no bedding, and some toys that were nearly indestructible. Cooper destroys plush toys, but does not eat them...
All of our Labs have been Chocolates, and all have been tennis ball retrievers and swimers, friendly to people and dogs and relatively easy to...
Years ago we had a diabetic Lab and I spent a lot of time on a mail list for diabetic dogs. Some of the folks there did Titers instead of routine...
