So many reasons this is a bad idea. Know that once you start you can never go back. And if you sleep with a partner you may have issues with...
Wow, quite the lab you have. Then number 1 behavioral issue among dogs is aggression and your Rolo is way way at the other end of the spectrum....
My advice is never let any of your dogs get on or sleep in your bed. Keep it your space. When you open the crate in the morning get a leash on him...

Your fine. I did what you did starting at 9 weeks. Take it slow and easy and have fun. It's a dog, not a china doll.
Mine is a humper too but it seems to have tapered off a bit as he has matured (right, he's 5 months -- long ways to go). At first we would joke...

good ole plain yogurt is good enough. Lots of powder products on Amazon with reviews but store bought is just fine.
It's a dog. Play catch with the ball and ignore the person who told you you shouldn't do it. Unbelievable advice.
Had similar issue with Ajax. It was the kibble brand. Did the shredded boiled chicken and rice routine then switch to a new brand. Helped. If not...
A friend had similar problem with their dog -- itching, various allergies-- and went to a raw feeding diet. All is good now. I took the cue from...
