Our 2 year old lab seems sad on walks. Drags behind , doesn’t play s, would sleep all day if we let her. Goes into her basket . We have to tempt her out with treats . . . We got her at 8months old from a top breeder. How do we cheer her up and get her to walk happily .

In reply to nora claire. We have a 5 month yellow lab and we have numerous toys to offer instead of our hands, this has worked for us.

Hi Pippa,

I have a one year old Lab and I have taught him simple things like sit, shake, lay down, and touch. However, he is really horrible on a leash, is there any hope of teaching him how to behave on a leash? Do you have a book for this?

In reply to nora claire. Hi, Pippa has written an article on 'When Do Puppies Stop Biting And How To Cope With A Teething Lab Puppy' that you may find useful!

Hi, I have a rescued lab who I think is about 3 at this point. She clearly had no training before I found her but is learning fast and is very eager to please but is also a very nervous puppy. What book/training would you recommend? Thank you!
