As some of you know, Thor is the first dog I've raised from a puppy. And I researched and researched everything. I grew up with rescues that were fearful of everything. So I made it my mission to socialize Thor so he wasn't afraid of anything. One of those things being the vet. I took him to visit over and over again, just to walk in the door and get some loves and treats from the staff.
Well, in true lab fashion Thor didn't just get socialized to tolerate the vet. He learned that the vet is the BEST THING EVER, and he behaves much like how you describe Oban. And nothing changed with the new vet in Oregon. Our new vet is even better with him than our old vet, she has labs herself and always wants to see Thor when we drop by. Every time we're there other dog owners are like "I wish my dog was as happy to come here." Yep, I think they should use labs for their commercials.
