I recently bought the Easy Walk for both of our Labs. Interestingly, I have to put Coopers on Upside Down, because of her deep chest. Pet Safe...
We brought both of our pups home sitting in my wife's lap. With Tilly we stopped at a park on the way home, and with Cooper the drive with us...
That sounds a little like our Pup, Cooper. She plays keep away with things she steals. Check out the "Stealing Everything" thread in Behavior.
All three of our Labs have been working line. Our first Lab, Ginger was a rescue but was obviously from a working line and very birdy. We don't...
Kindle is great. You order and it arrives in seconds. Also it is a short book. I just got the Culture Clash a few minutes ago. Tilly...

If you want to build steps in, you certainly can bond things to fiberglass, Boat builders/repair shops do it all the time. You could make the...
I just read Turid's book about barking, and it all makes sense, and pretty much fits what I knew about barking. Cooper's high pitched bark sounds...
With Cooper it is not just picking things up, it is also Destroying them. She has a pretty soft mouth in play, and sort of returns tennis balls...
Remotes seem to be a particular problem. We keep ours put a way now but our friends Sammy has chewed up several of theirs and one of ours.
All of our Labs have been hard core swimmers. I doubt if our first lab would have jumped into a pool though, because she always wanted to walk...
Reintroducing things previously stolen, is probably not an option. In general things that Cooper steals are destroyed, unless we discover it...
Based on the responses, this is going to be a challenge for us. We have many book cases and other low surfaces, with lots of small items. We...
Thanks, I just ordered Barking: The Sound of a Language (Dogwise Training Manual) I'll see if it has some useful suggestions.
Unfortunately Tilly doesn't seem to care much, probably because she is getting pretty hard of hearing. Also Cooper is bigger and faster than she...
Cooper has another behavior that is difficult for us to deal with. I'm not sure whether it is an attention bark or a play bark, or both. In...
