I love this! Glad my post has created a potential lab meet up. I only wish I was in Yorkshire too and I could join you and get the benefit of...
Hi @5labs thanks for the reassurances. Your dogs sound lovely and what a beautiful home they must have to run around in, in North Yorkshire!...
Yes, you are absolutely right and you insightfully also touch on one of the reasons for my post. Much as we absolutely love Luna, and she is a...
@SeaChelle sounds like you're doing a brilliant job - well done you!! And well done Willow too. :)
Just curious whether anyone in the UK on here has (or has had) a labrador from Copperwheat Labradors? Keen to see if any of Luna's relatives...
@SeaChelle the accidents are going to happen - they just will - a lot - so lower your expectations and make sure that you just try your best....
I wish I'd known that the chaos is actually them learning, not them being naughty. Laugh at the ridiculousness of their antics, don't get...
@Anthony Abrao - great update. You're doing a great job and Captain clearly loves interacting with you and is keen to please. You've got a...
Hi @Tini Martina We actually still have this problem and ours is 13 months old, albeit to a lesser extent than when she was tiny. We have a lot...

Hello fellow Luna-parent :) I'm by no means an expert on this, but we have just worked really hard at rewarding calm behaviours. Whenever she...
Just reading through some of my old posts from the early puppy days, and nearly a year on it does feel like I'm able to look back and see how far...
Yes, that was exactly what was happening. When I pulled it away from her, she followed and did the re-bite that you explained all the way up the...
Hi @Michael A Brooks - we're generally practicing when the cat is outside and the dog inside. The cat is fairly chilled out at this safe...
We've played tug with Luna since she was about 6 months and in the early stages we taught a "drop" cue and a "take it" cue. We also removed the...
Thanks Michael - I don't think this particular example is going to be very scientifically accurate. Look at THAT and Look at the CAT or CAT sound...
Loved reading this @Anthony Abrao - you've got such a positive approach to your posts and celebrate all the successes. Well done you. You sound...
We've got lots of opportunities to try out LAT in our house because of the cat. I am DETERMINED to stop the dog from chasing the cat! It's...
