This is a good HELP me thread. Abigail is 4 1/2 months old. She is crate trained and tethered to me when loose in the house. We are well bonded. She is smart and when I brought her home at 12 weeks, she immediately started basic training. I was worried about her "stay" until she did a down-stay allowing me to walk 1/2 way across Petco without getting up until called. She nailed it. Her basics are in both word and hand signal. I would easily train her for service dog work if I needed her. The instructor will be testing her for CGC by the time she is 7 1/2 - 8 months old.
My question is what are my options to keep training her? If she was your's, what route would you take her? She can be playing and as soon as kibble comes out, all else is forgotten until the kibble is gone. She isn't all that hip on fetching either, she will bring back the tennis ball but it is more fun to run around it. She knows the commands, just not into games.
For those with a lab about the same age who are going through problems, Abigail is not perfect. LOL She will lunge at the cat when giving the chance. Play rough with her Shih Tzu sister, 1/3 Abigail's size and loves to leave teeth marks when trying to be sweet. *Teething* And she piddles when she meets new people. Nope not perfect. LOL
Thanks
