Hmm the vet that knows all? Good for you, but I would actually rather take my guidance from some of the experienced people above - but as you...
Inspiring! Thanks for sharing!!
I picked a corner and just threw a little ball and see if she would fetch and bring it. Later we moved to a small hallway. For some time she...
I question if a breeder can tell anything at 4 weeks. Similar at 8 weeks. If you want chocolate get chocolate otherwise you may we’ll regret....
I have this too, mainly when main sheeding season starts
My breeder encouraged me not to brush the Labs as it is not good for them. Better to take them for a swim or a quick rinse to remove dead hair. No...

I would stop the breakfast routine and instead have the dog work for the food through training. Either through walk obedience, retrieving or...
Socializing has so many facets you will have plenty to do without meeting other people. Most can be accomplished in the woods and around you own...

Allowing dogs to meet on the leash is not good form and makes it harder to stop the behavior. Unfortunately all to many dog owners are to keen to...
All young dogs have the tendency to do that. There are several threads on the topic but essentially you need to make yourself more interesting...
