My dog is the same, she would stay out all day if at least one of us is out there, but never alone. I never thought of labs as apartment dogs, but this one totally could be. She isn't all that high...

So, I wanted to add for anyone who might read this in the future that about a month after Ivy's heat ended, she learned to dig out of the yard with no prior indication. She was just trying to find...

I wanted to update you all on our progress. After some of your advice and some other stuff I read online, I had an epiphany. She loves her crate and is fine there all night, and even goes into it...

Thanks for all of your help. Funny thing is, she loves her crate when we are home, and goes in when I tell her to, but I can tell she wasn't just happy and sleeping in there when we leave the house.

The longest she has ever been alone is about 4 hours. She is alone at least every day at random times while I run errands or take kids to school. She cries when the big kids leave for the bus every...

My puppy took forever to stop biting! It was so embarrassing when guests came over. She learned not to do it with my kids, and then their friends would come over and she would forget everything she...

My 9 month old "puppy", I am not sure if she still counts as one, is acting so strange. She has always loved being around us and is well behaved. She has never liked playing by herself outside, but...

Thanks, I will wait

Is it okay to have the vet give our dog a bordetella vaccine when she is spayed? We need to board her about a month after her spay and the kennel requires a bordetella vaccine, which she hasn't had.

Update: Ivy's nipples have shrunk down quite a lot almost to the size they were and I am really looking forward to getting her spayed so I don't have to worry about any of this ever again!

My lab was around my parents' nuetered dog, and he wasn't more interested in her than usual. I was nervous about it too. He actually kind of avoids her because he is a tiny dog and she is still...

I know it isn't impossible, but we have a solid wooden fence, bordered by neighbors who also have solid wooden fences and no male dogs. I am not really that worried about it to be honest. Especially...

she was left briefly unattended in the well-fenced backyard (15 minutes, tops) on occasion, but we don't have a stray dog problem in our area. We have a secure, solid 6 foot fence. I would have...

That must be so hard. Sorry you are going through this.

So, it has been awhile since she finished her heat. Her breast tissue seems to be swollen, especially her 4 bottom teats. Is this normal? Did she find a suitor? I thought I kept good watch on her. I...

Thanks. I am happy I am only doing this once :) I thought we got off easy when she was mildly spotting the first week.

I just thought the bleeding part was only supposed to last for a week to 10 days?

She is still bleeding 13 days later, and it has been heavier this week than last, is this normal? I want this to be over.

Thanks for the advice.

Thank you for your replies! I just wanted to update, she is super swollen now- which is a relief to me because I am hoping to only have to let her have one heat before we spay her. Her recessed vulva...

Thank you for your advice! I am keeping good track of her, last thing I want is an accidental breeding. she is actually spotting a bit more this afternoon. I expected this whole thing to be more...

Hello! I am a first time Labrador owner. My Ivy is just shy of 8 months old. She had a recessed vulva and so I have been waiting patiently for her to go through heat so I could then spay her. A few...
