Heavy ceramic spaniel bowls are good as they are angled inwards so reduce digging and splashing.
Opinions on this will vary, but my opinion for "How much downtime for a puppy" would be LOTS. Most of the problems I see with puppies (biting,...
It is so massively important that he rests properly for this to heel. As such, I think I would be putting him in a crate. Only out on lead for a...
Are you feeding him dry food? I tend to find that dry food tends to make them have large drinks in one go for which they need a wee shortly after....
I train as possitively as possible, but when there is a potentially dangerous behaviour, then I would apply a very firm "NO!". I appreciate that a...

How old is she and how long have you had her? How much does she weigh and what are you feeding her? I have a neighbour with a chocolate lab with...
24.3kg at 11 months.
Is it something which has started suddenly? Have you walked him on sprayed crops, or treated your lawn with anything? If in doubt, it may be worth...
Welcome! Tell us about your labrador :-)
