My lab is 1 year now, so I can sympathize. First, you can't ever leave him unsupervised, ever. You are either playing with him, or he needs to...
My lab is a hyper 1 year old, and I would never let him around a baby (at ground level). He's just to big, bouncy, and pointy. My 2.5 year old...
What I've found useful is to put my lab on a house-line, as taught by Pippa on this website. When you get home, walk up to the dog, who will be...

Switzerland, I think 8 weeks is the law (although I can't swear to that). I'm surprised that they only keep them 7 weeks in the USA, as the...
lots of retrieving and running around aimlessly...seems to be keeping him close :)
Well, they didn't actually say 'idiot', it was just strongly implied :) His name is Sammy!
Does he swallow the rocks or just put them in his mouth? Ours annoyingly 'chewed' on rocks from 10-12 weeks, then stopped. I moved all the mulch...
