One of my dogs had kidney failure and I put him on a renal diet which he hated ...I now wish I had just let him eat what he wanted for whatever time he had left ...I dont have many regrets over my dogs but is one of the ones I have ...xx
I think you have to change your mind sight that any pup has the capacity to annoy you on purpose by actively looking for something to chew to get your Attention...dogs do not think like this ..he is just a baby ...pups are really hard work especially labs and one that is from working strain...
Sounds like a typical labrador to me and it has nothing to do with him being a Fox Red colour ...
Do you know if he came from working stock ...it makes such a difference with temperament...
I used a furminator years ago and it ruined my dogs coat ...
The groomi tool is great and literally just takes the dead coat ...
I agree with Joannef and I would still take your pup to the groomers ..I bought the best clippers but never made my dog look as good as the groomer
You may not be the Right home for Barley and admitting that isnt a failure...I think it is sad that you are focusing on rehoming him too much and I dont know if you can ever get past that ...no two dogs are the same and to keep comparing him to a previous dog is setting him up to fail ...puppies...
All of the rescues I have fostered and home checked for already have these measures in place ...
People get cross when they are turned down for a rescue dog as they are not the right home for that dog ...
