I was googling around re Labrador stuff and I stumbled on another forum. If anyone remembers "Snowshoe" from the other place, it seems her black lab Oban crossed the rainbow bridge just last week. RIP

Well, biting yes - but she does mouth a little, mostly when we are sitting down on the couch and she's hyped up and wants to play. Also she's known for a running lunge at your head if you sit on the couch, biting my bun/ponytail and NOT letting go, biting certain clothes (buttons esp), steals...

Prim is now 24 weeks - almost 6 months! She’s got all her grown up teeth and not biting anymore. She’s still uncoordinated but is retrieving a little and bringing things to me and is a confident little swimmer (having Quinn to copy definitely played a role in that!) She’s a handful and is...

@Natalie I had been doing one walk per day together, spending time training one on each side of me loose leash, but if I let up for a second they pull ahead and each is trying to get ahead of the other. Quinn doesn't pull on a pavement walk on her own at all - so it was extra frustrating! I...

I’ve been feeling frustrated with both girls lately - the pulling is just nuts, even if OH and I each have a dog walking separately. I’ve been losing my patience and had to take a step back - today I did separate training walks and Quinn good as gold and just so impressed with Primrose! She’s so...

She's beautiful!

I find that people who are scared of dogs are always the ones that behave in a way to get the absolute worst response from dogs - nothing like screaming, waving arms and running to get a young dog level 10 in the blink of an eye :hmm: I also find they tend to hit up the places where dogs are...

Beautiful girl! Never forgotten ❤️

Looks like everyone is having a great time! Do you think Monty is enjoying his time without Bear?

They are both food motivated, but Quinn is extremely ball motivated and the ball is more rewarding than any treat could be. Quinn was more reluctant in repetitive obedience type training (things like down/drop, heel) but really thrived in scent and agility (and those are easier to reward with...

Well, OH wants one "to match Primrose's energy so Quinn can have a break" 💀

Prim is 50lbs!!! Now that we are re-opening a bit she’s back to socialization - she went nuts at the pet store now that she can get her mouth on toys and loose treats :giggl: and she did really well at a patio dinner (ok, fine, she licked a plate of pickles and slurped some salsa). But given how...

So cute! Now I want another puppy...

That sounds fun! From my limited experience with just my own two dogs, it's very interesting to see what they enjoy, learn quickly etc. Have you noticed any difference in food motivated vs finding other rewards (toys/play, verbal etc) in training?

I don't rile them up, but always greet, pet and chat!

He’s like a kid off to camp for a week :rofl: enjoy your time off!

Brought the girls to the beach early this morning - sooo many labs there! Primrose took off and gave me a heart attack - turns out our choccie friend Maple arrived and she saw her first! Little Prim recalled so well from other dogs. Really pleased.

Welcome @Rubina from me, Quinn and Primrose in Canada 🇨🇦

SO cute!!

Primrose would have destroyed that picnic, everyone’s outfits and likely the blanket too 🤣
