    Cheers everyone, we have a cat and a large fish tank already and are very much on it with cleaning so hopefully wont be too stinky, though it is unavoidable with puppies at first I know.

    If someone hasn't mentioned it to yet you clicker training and crate training go hand in hand with labs.


    Just the best dogs.

    The girl went to get him a new lead the other day and couldn't decide between two, couldn't get hold of me on the phone, so bought both. Mental.

    Positive reinforcement all the way, which clicker training falls under.

    @dogminded, @silentcanineconversations, @thelivesofwilddogs and @themisbehavingmutt are all good Instagram accounts to follow.

    If you comes across any advice that promotes being dominant, the pack mentality or choke collars, ignore it completely. Dogs are not pack animals, and all of that is based off of a study's conclusions that the authors themselves discredited years later in further studies.

    Just be nice to your dog and reward them for doing things you want them to do like obeying the command "come."

    Pro tip: get a treat pouch for walks.

    It looks quite big, but I doubt he could ride it.

    Her name is Maisie, and she takes 40mg of prozac every morning and 900mg of clonidine and 600mg of gabapentin throughout the day because she won the genetic lottery for anxiety. Before the pills, she hyperventilated 24/7 and going outside the confines of the apartment was an absolute nightmare for her.

    Pro tip: alarm dogs, ie dog bred to alert people of any and all intruders, are more prone to anxiety than other breeds

    She even has a 'fort' made of blankets around her favourite spot to lie down, and she also hates crates.

    Cunts.

    You're a good person taking her on Panda; not easy at all and giving a dog with those kinds of issues a safe and happy home is a really great thing. I hope you get a lot of happiness and fulfilment from having her.

    Dog was just born that way; she's not even a rescue. By coincidence we've met two other people who got dogs from the same parents (one from the same litter, one from two years prior), and we discovered that their dogs are also crazy. No hip problems though.

    @randomlegend I appreciate the words. Thank you. My wife and I had a hell of a time with the dog for a couple years (why wasn't she like other dogs?! the others weren't like this) before learning about dog anxiety/reactivity from a trainer, and all three of us are much happier for discovering you can give anti-anxiety medications to dogs.

    She's the best.

    I'm much happier with how things have turned out compared to being some cunt who bins a dog in a shelter or gives it a shit life because they can't handle the dog and refuse to learn how to meet the dog's needs.

    The in laws (where I've been over Christmas) have a red labrador and had two black labradors, however one had to be put down today.

    They're working dogs and generally very well trained, but the red one has taken a lot of work.
