Please help with my lab!!
My lab is about 5 months old. We chose to get a lab because we have a lake house and we loved the idea of playing fetch, swimming, and all the great stuff that comes along with lab ownership. I grew up around labs and I know they are great dogs.
As I mentioned my lab is 5 months old. She is scared of other dogs. This is strange because ever since we brought her home as a puppy we had another dog and a cat and she loves to play with both animals. However any other dogs she is terrified of.
Also she doesnt like to fetch. She will run after the ball maybe 5-10% of the time. We try to work with her by herself so there are no distractions but she has no interest it seems.
And she definitely will not swim.
So I am slightly frustrated because everything I was excited about as of now she has no interest in. I am starting to get worried since it is strange for labs to not like other dogs. She is great around other people however.
