We have a 6-month-old lab that cannot stop cobbing/biting us, from the moment she comes out of the crate. We have worked consistently on this since she was 7 weeks old. Her mama did not work with her on bite inhibition, and the breeder moved her too early. Redirecting, separation, time outs, staying calm, crate, schedules…nothing works. When we feed her or give treats, she is so very gentle. Would value insight, resources. She tries to give love and always wants to be with us but man this is hard. I breed 4 other litters from other mamas and none were like this

In reply to jane vdp. I am really struggling with a very strong willed, highly intelligent labrador retriever. He is 9 months and not house trained. Both my husband and I are both long term dog owners, but we cannot understand why this dog is not going outside to pass urine even if we leave the door open to the toileting area.

Hi we have a 5 month old lab. She is completely house trained in the kitchen, hall and living room and also when we go round to friends/family. However, when we open up the dining room for her to go in, she has an accident. Does anyone know why? We are trying to gradually open up the rest of the house to her but it hasn’t proved quite as successful!

In reply to Jackie Gregorich. Yeah they drink a lot of water. I have a 8 week old puppy and I was told when I got him to just leave a pan of water out for him at all times.

In reply to Varun. You will need to spend some time watching your puppy. My lab puppy is 3 months old. We feed him 4-5 times a day. The peeing often happens after he wakes up from slerp or 10 mins after drinking water and having food. They also pee after an exhaustive play time and after shower. So, after these things make sure you take him to the place where you want him to pee/poop and let him do it. Repeat this a few times and watch the magic. :)

Hi,
We got a Lab who is 32days Old. His vaccination is yet to be done as I have been informed by Vet that 45 days is when he will get his first vaccine. As I am naive have very limited information about Labs. I and my wife both works and he has to stay alone for 5-7 hours in a day. He poops and pee around the Hall and that too very often. very are not very sure of this behavior and how could we teach him about it.
we want to train him for Poop & pee outside the home and when we are not in the home he should do to the very specific place. Moreover how often we should feed him and what should be the time to feed him?
Any advice will be mush appriciated!!

I have a 9 week old lab puppy male, we live next door to the mother and 1 puppy that the family kept. We are having huge problems training him as he wants to continue going next door any suggestions on making the transition easier?
