My dog can be more hyper if I give her too much exercise. I learned this the hard way. Finding the right balance between too much and not enough...
Base28, first let me assure you that what you are experiencing is not completely atypical, as Blackbird has indicated. It is important to keep up...
Jo. Appreciate the feedback. It was quite helpful to be reminded that nibbling can be an affectionate gesture by the dog. It doesn't hurt, but...
Michael, appreciate the response. The hard part is convincing my wife not to respond to the dog when she uses her mouth. I know she is...
My little Holly will be 1 year old next week, and she sounds very similar to your Bonnie. She is pretty good around people (not great, but good)...
My little pup (or not so little, she is 70 lbs) will be a year old on October 1. She is slowly calming down (although still quite the little ball...
First let me say I recognize that she is still a puppy. A big puppy but a puppy. My Holly is 10 months old, and she is driving me crazy. She...
Hello again all. I have written about my now almost 8 month old black lab Holly. She is a very nice but extremely high energy pup. (She was...
Ok, so my little girl (7 months) got spayed yesterday. Just wanted to share my story for anyone else going through it. She came home extremely...

She doesn’t lift just squats with one leg further out than the other. It is odd. Does she lift the same leg? Starting to sound like my pup isn't...
My 6 month old female lab has taken to doing (at times) an asymmetrical squat when she pees. One leg is much further out than the other. (Most...
Ok lab friends, I am looking for some advice. My Holly is just about 6 months old. Sleeps well in her crate. Except she has taken to whining...
Ok, so I know that no two dogs are ever alike, and there are many factors that impact puppy behavior, but I am wondering what ages people remember...
I view it as a good thing actually that you pup feels comfortable enough with things to go lay down on his own. My most recent pup that we lost...
My previous lab (a dozen years ago) didn't mind his gentle lead at all. He was perfectly fine with it and it helped. My current pup hates it...
Stephanie, I have a just about 5 month old black lab. We are not too far removed from your experience. I second the strictly stop playing when...
Those were my sentiments exactly. The price of an awesome adult lab is a crazy lab puppy. I wouldn't trade my labs for the world, even if they...
