I started the "Exchange" training two days ago and so far he seems to find it to be fun. In the yard I've been throwing his favorite rope/ball toy and when he brings it back we exchange it for a...

Shelley, thank you for this information. I copied it and printed it out. It's a better approach than "leave it", even though he has been rewarded every time we use that phrase. He has been very...
They were "spring fresh, soft but not fluffy". Must be because they were used dryer sheets! :)
Finley is doing fine. He started passing some fibrous material in his stool last night and again this morning. It looks like the dryer sheet is making its way through his system. A big sigh of...
SamsonsMom. Your boy sounds very much like Finley. If its in front of his face, it must go into his mouth. We've been lucky in the house to be able to keep ahead of him but in our large backyard...
A six foot leash! Wow, that's quite a feat. Thanks everyone for your support and advice. So far he is acting perfectly normal, appetite good, no symptoms of discomfort. I'm sure we'll see the...
Thanks for the reassurance. "But, I think he will be just fine" are encouraging words to hear. I have posted a few times about Finley, usually about a problem. My intention recently was to post...
Finley has just turned one year and is still very much the puppy. We have been really vigilant about his habit of scooping up and swallowing items before we can grab them. (I posted during the...
I'm so happy to see Milo is in the daycare. It will be good for him to have activity and playtime with other dogs. Our Finley is almost 9 months old now. We took him to puppy class at 4 months. ...
It is so easy to put down the remote and walk away. When Finley was 3 months old I briefly left the room and walked back in to see the tv channels rapidly changing with no human operating the...
Re-reading all the messages has been so helpful. It's amazing to see the stuff our labs can scoff up and swallow. So far Finley is his usual, funny self. Everything is "moving" smoothly as it...
Thank you everyone. You have really eased my mind. Finley is a real character and keeps us on our toes. It's a relief to know that he should be okay.
We've been very careful about Finley swallowing and getting into things. This morning a paper towel fell from the shelf. In spite of trying to get it out of his mouth, he managed to swallow it. We...
I just finished reading this thread from the beginning and feel so much better. Finley has just turned 6 months and I love him dearly. But he is exhausting and has an abundance of energy. He's...
I had been working on "leave it" in the house and spent the last two days with some success outside. "Drop it" is what we are working on now for those times he manages to scoop up a clump. When we...
These are all helpful ideas. Thank you for making these suggestions. I'm starting this afternoon to put some of them in practice.
Finley has been tearing up the grass, including the sod with roots. He chews and swallows it in spite of our efforts to stop him and pull it out of his mouth. He's made a game of running away from...
These are all great ideas. He seems to like eating the moistened kibble out of the bowl. I'll try some of these hints to slow him down a bit.
Thanks everyone. It's so nice to know this forum is...
Thank you for this information. Finley, (our new yellow lab pup), is our 3rd lab. We've always used a bowl for feeding so the jelly roll pan was new to us. We lost our almost 14 year old lab,...
Our yellow lab pup is now 15 weeks old. We were instructed by the breeder to feed him using a jelly roll pan instead of a bowl. Is it time to introduce him to a dog bowl? Also, should I add a...
