Hello! I'm Clare - here to introduce Judy. She's a 15 week old lab living with me and my cat in the UK. She's an adorable little girl but we have had some issues so far with biting and being the naughtiest pup in puppy class. Basically that's how I found this site - I'm so thankful that I did. Sounds like she's a completely normal puppy after all and not a total menace! Looking forward to meeting you all and learning from your experiences. Bye for now Clare and Judy
Hi and welcome to you both from me and 3 year old fox red girl, Harley Judy sounds like a very normal lab puppy . I used puppy class to teach her how to settle with other dogs around and to pay attention to me rather than trying to all the exercises that I knew we weren't ready to do. Whereabouts in the UK are you?
Yep, 100% normal! Welcome to the Labrador forum (aka the international support group for owners of bitey class clowns )
Hello Naya and Rachael! Naya - Judy does not want to settle in puppy class! The second I think she's settled she lurches in the direction of the tiny dogs to her left, desperate to lick their faces. I could lather myself in tuna and she'd still pay more attention to them than me. We're near Leicester. Rachael, bitey class clown is exactly the right description, so glad an international support group exists!
Welcome from me and Lilly! You must have read some previous threads if you have already tried the tuna-body-immersion technique
Hehe, welcome to you and your normal Lab puppy from me and my two monsters (sorry, perfectly-behaved model citizens), Willow and Shadow.
Hi Clare and lovely Judy, welcome from me & my 2 year old class clown Coco (we've only had him 11 months). We ARE getting there. This site has been invaluable.
Hello and welcome from me and Edsel! He's still a silly, wild boy but I wouldn't want him any other way. Well maybe it would be nice if he occasionally would greet people with his butt on the floor and not jumping over their heads like a maniac!
Welcome Clare and Judy, Hope the Forum and Labradot Site are helping you get through Judy's puppy antics....the humiliation I have suffered at the paws of my 4 year old Dexter knows no bounds! The Forum was a saver for me x
Hi Angela and Dexter! Yes, this has been so useful, I'm so glad I found this site. Right now the naughty puppy antics are mostly limited to Judy jumping up on people who give her attention... so not too bad really! Stay cool in Dubai x
