I thought I would share our first training session as it was such fun! I took Mole, now 10 months, to our local gundog training centre and had a...
I would agree with Stacia's comment above. Had labs before but since following the happy puppy book and all the great advice on this board my now...
Ahh lovely Dozer, thank you for sharing. We had a similar experience with our old boy Lundy who went before his time at 11 due to severe arthritis...
Honestly it will get better and better. There will still be some days that test you but it's worth the effort. So happy you are having a better...

Mole is from working lines and is quite different to my old yellow boy Lundy who was from show lines. I'm not sure if it's just a temperament...
That's it! Vivitonin. Works brilliantly in our experience.
