Welcome to the world of lab puppies! As @Boogie says you have to be more determined than he is! Either that or live in a suit of armour for the...
Hi - just to add another opinion - choose what works best for you and your pup. Make the choice and be consistent - if you are happy getting up...
Hi stop beating yourself up...you sound as if you prepared as much as you could, but you are right, every pup is different. We had Bailey in our...
Good luck today! As others have said take lots and lots of photo's - that cute little puppy is not around for long! Glad you have been reading...
My sisters boy is exactly the same - they can be out for a long walk (he's nearly two years old now) and the whole time he won't go for either a...
Bailey seemed to have it cracked by about 4 months - however then he started lifting his leg outside to pee - so just to show us how clever he was...
Hi glad to read that you are coming out of the puppy blues :) nothing further to add as everything I would have said has been said! Just wanted...
As already said he's playing - Bailey used to do the same with squeaky toys - now however, as he's matured he carry's them gently in his mouth...
Hi @Atemas no I haven't - I will have a look at them - we are in need of a new one soon, so will bear them in mind thank you :D
What a beautiful girl. As said above there really is no one size fits all for labs. My boy is slim, with a very defined waist and can feel his...
What about putting his crate in a pen? Leaving the door open so he can go in and out as he wants. I know several others used this method so that...
Beautiful girl - loving the muddy nose! Well done what a lovely post to read :D
Bailey also used to do this - also eat and roll in fox poo on EVERY SINGLE WALK!! That boy was always being washed at that age! We worked hard...
Hi whilst I can't add to the above about a mix of field and show in experience what I can say is my boy is a mix of show (Dad) and field (mum)....
To be fair Bailey rarely, if ever, drinks during the night (noisy and messy drinker so I would know!) it is just a habit we got into when the...
About a year ago I started playing firework noises to Bailey from the dogs trust website - being in Northampton (UK) we have a town show around...
Hi @HannahandPoppy Bailey was exactly the same - we started off taking him out immediately after waking, eating, playing - and while he enjoyed...
Oh my @snowbunny that photo of Shadow as a baby :heart::heart: and he really is such a handsome chap (don't tell Bailey I said that!)
I also never limited Bailey's water - either as a pup or even now - in fact he has two bowls - one upstairs and one downstairs - so he has fresh...
Oh god yup I remember those! Must admit since swapping to, initially, a grain free kibble and then onto a raw diet Bailey hardly has any wind at...
