OK, perhaps 'menace' was a bit strong but he got in their pond and we (5) of us couldn't get him back on a lead for about 20mins, we took him for a walk and let him off the lead and struggled to get him back on again. I guess I'm thinking rather than risk any issues is it better to put him the...

So... I booked a 40th birthday surprise trip to Rome for my wife, got everything sorted, found Dog boarding etc but... went to visit the people today for the 2nd time and my dog was a complete menace... the people now saying (2 weeks before trip) dog needs training (recall) before they are...

9/10 times I've already seen the other dog before he has. I call him back he looks around before coming to me and he's off. we keep it light and friendly while trying to hide the panic....

So here we are, three months after the original post. We still have him, and things have improved. The only issue we're really facing now is during walks. When he sees another dog, he takes off—I'm talking about half a mile away, and he won't stop until he reaches the other dog. He's not...

We have a good trainer just down the road however we struggle to continue what is taught during the training one we get home (part of the 'its not his fault')

He was on the AVA puppy sensitive or whatever its called, but we found that upset his stomach, seems anything that had a beak is bad news for him. he's now on Wainwright Lamb and rice with vegetables.

Yes, we were told his dad was a Gun dog, both parents were on a farm.

I understand that getting a puppy, especially a fox red lab, can be a big responsibility. However, after 6 months of having our 10-week-old fox red lab, we're finding it challenging. We've experienced typical puppy behavior such as chewing, biting, and teething. Taking him for walks has also...

some good points there, I might try sitting on the door step with the the long lead so he can go as far as he feels comfortable. and yes he's very much a foodie Lab

I'm sure it's been covered but is there any reason why a 12 week old lab simply refuses to walk on the lead. Oddly if there are 2 of us he seems OK. Another problem is he seems to only wee or poo when in the garden and if he is actually walking he'll pull hard to get home to go to the loo. Been...

He settled downstairs on the sofa (I slept with him) I think he may have had stimulation overload during the day and he just freaked out. We will try a crate tonight. He slept till 4:30 had a wee then went back to sleep till about 6 when the cat came in

10 Week old lab going crazy on 3rd night, crying and jumping around on things. Not in a crate, he's feed, watered had poo and wee but won't stop!

So we've finally found a little boy Lab, he's 9 weeks and we bring him home next Thursday. Apart from the obvious what do people recommend from experience Do's and don'ts for the 1st few days/nights?

Golden Lab.... Will call him Dug.

Yep, I know what to look for and I'm up to date with Lucy's Law. I've seen a lot of ads that have red flags breaks my heart tbh
