Absolutely, this is the thing to do. Maybe you need to push the "decisionaboutaLabrador" right out of your mind for a period of time, sleep on...
Hi Katrina, I sometimes think that trainers themselves need special training in Labrador handling! Rufus is still very young. Speaking for myself,...
Don't think that you've failed, it's very early days, your puppy is still really tiny. I think it's fair to say that most puppies are not really...
Not a silly question at all, I had the very same worry. I posted on here about it and @bbrown replied that she had learnt bite inhibition because...
@Atemas, you are a dear :) I am full of admiration for all you do with Red. I will confess to being more than a little envious of your scentwork...

Good God :|
