    My 12 year old lab has started to struggle with pain in his legs and our 11 week old just wants to play, jumping, play growling, licking. My old boy just doesn’t want to know. I’m interested in the in house line - what is it? Xx

    Hi Suki,

    Rather than reawaken an old thread, I've created a new one for you.

    A house line is a lightweight lead without a loop at the end. They're handy for the puppy stages because when they wear one inside the home it trails along behind them, and you can grab it to restrain them before they do something shouldn't (and start reinforcing bad habits!). The loop at the end is missing so that it doesn't snag on furniture/doors/etc.

    This article on our main site might also be useful to you: https://www.thelabradorsite.com/introducing-puppy-to-older-dog/

    Good luck, do let us know how you get on!
