mine do the same...I use a shell that they can't tip it over

LOL I have to laugh at the light fittings... My lab chewed up 24 solar lights, now they are all gone he has started on the sprinkler system...He has heaps of toys & 2 other dogs to play with.....I have just accepted it but I am not replacing any solar lights

I have 3 labs and none of them touch the washing. I ahve always taken them with me when I peg it out and said a few No!!!!s Touch wood I won't have jinxed myself

How do you get a wee sample from a dog?????????????????????

I posted a similar topic recently. My 11 wk old lab pees any where any time and frequently. One of the responses to my post was that it could be because she is fed mostly on dry food so she drinks a lot too. That all makes perfect sence. What are you feeding your pup?

Great pics....Fun aren't they. My 11 wk old lab is very food motivated which is great to train with but I am still having trouble getting her to wait for me to put her food out and she nips with great eagerness for treats. I am being firm and am confident I will win.

woops forgot to add I pulled the crate out today so will start using it she only has a few weeks untill her first show.

Yes I am pretty sure it is the dry food. I am not crate training her she sleeps outside with my older dog. She doesn't pee in her bed and if she accidently gets left in her pen she gets quite distressed if the needs to poo but the peeing she isn't so stressed where she does it. Thankfully her bed appears safe.

Yes she has mostly dry food she is having royal canon and some chicken and bones, She can't last an hour...lol She seems healthy enough.

I have a 12 wk old lab pup, I have never known a pup to drink and pee so much. I take her to the loo outside, bring her in and within a couple of seconds she pees again.....and so it goes on. She will pee any where any time but the is very particular where she poops, likes the garden and will bark to get out there.

Any one got any tips? How regularly should they pee??

I have 3 labs 2 under 12 mths and I feed them royal canon, fresh bones chicken necks & wings I am happy with it.

I have heard vinigar and water will get rid of the smell and they don't go back to that spot. Not sure how true it is

hope this comes through this is 10 mth old eli at the beach

I have a 5yo lab who sure gives me the finger when we are at the beach. At home she is fantastic not a problem but out Oh boy is she a bugger. I just walk the oposite way and eventually she comes which is fine if I want to walk but to just sit at the beach with her is a joke

I have just been away for 2 weeks and have returned to find my 5yo lab covered in heat spots. I wondered if she had been fretting and that had triggered it but the weather has been very wet here too so maybe she was wet for too long. I just bathed her in an anticeptic wash and have put listerine on it ( never tried it before) She isn't itching at all from what I can see. She never got them until last year.

I do mine in the bath with a shower hose head to rinse. you can get them for a few dollars and slip them onto the tap. My 2 will jump into the bath and sit/lay they have learnt not to shake ( works most of the time) I towel dry them then they jump out and get another rub dry. if it is too cold to go out side I have used the hair dryer on occasions but they are not too keen on that. I have labs and they love the water so that helps too.

you can order from dogfoodonline they will do free delivery if you spend $130, delivered in 2-5 days. They were a few dollars cheaper than out local pet suppliers. I have just started using it so hope it is good

I will eventually get one but haven't as yet my pup is only 5mths old

Can anyone tell me do I have to have a prefix before I can join. The application form asks for one?

Not sure if this will work

mmm good question. I have just bought one for my lab pup, so far so good but he isn't left unsupervised in it. I would imagine you would have to line the bottom for a new pup.

Just remain calm and uneffected by it yourself and the dog will learn nothing changes when there is a storm................I think if the dog owner is neurotic the dog will become the same

My vet checks my dogs when they have their anual needles.

That is sooo cute ( not to you at the time I am sure) I have a black lab pup also & I can juse see him doing the same thing if given 1/2 the chance...HAPPY DAYS!!!

I feed mine Optimum, dry food and fresh meat & bones. There is generally small poos to pick up & I don't get the very offensive smells. Don't know if Optimum has any minuses does any one know?
