Happy to report that Ellie is now her own self again.
After her uti medication, she was still acting kinda weird, depressed-like.
So i called her breeder and arrange for her visit to the ol...

Thanks everyone!

I took her to the vet on Tuesday for a check up after last Friday's episode. Asked the vet about the shaking.
She was shaking when the vet handled her, but she wasn't aggressive...

My Ellie, a 4.5mo black lab, got a UTI last Friday after swimming in the inlet nearby our house the weekend before.
Anyway, I took her to the vet (that's how it was confirmed a UTI caused by E....

I have an ecollar from Motorola. I've been using for the vibrate and one-way talk, instead of hanging my walkie-talkie off the collar.

I didn't think about trying the zapper until I read your...

Thanks, All!
Ya, I got her a big name tag in red to contrast with the black background :) for the same reasoning - to tell apart.

Hi All,

I was at the dog park the other day.
I drove by and the off-leash fenced-in dog park was empty.
So, I thought what a perfect time to teach my Ellie recall with lots of distraction.
She...

I have been contemplating to bring my black lab to the off leash dog park. I have been wanting to do it to socialize her, to meet new dogs and people. So far I only went to the local Park that allows...

Yep - I agree about the course.
That's why I was the main handler in the last course (puppy kindergarten), while my wife is going to be the main handler for the level 1.
This is because the...

Hi Tanya,

Yes, I took puppy kindergarten and will be taking level I soon.
But the level I will be for my wife as the primary handler.

The growling happens when we were at home.
She was not on...

Thanks all for the input!
I really appreciate them!

Although I would be the main care taker of the puppies, I realize that I would be missing time with the baby.
We agreed on possibly another...

We just got a female black Lab in July.
My first lab, and my first dog in a while.
I had a GSD growing up until I was 12yo.

Smart girl, and catch on very quick!
I now want to get a second Lab,...

My 4mo old growled 3x to 3 different people and all happened in the last week or so.
I also got her when she was 10mo old.

At first, I didn't catch it because I thought she burped - and boy does...

OMG! So cute!!
I brought home my Ellie at 10 wks.
I didn't realize how much difference 2 weeks make in a puppy.

Thanks for sharing the picture!

Thanks, everyone!
She is a quick study.

Hello Folks,

I thought I'd upload my puppy's pictures.
Ellie is now 14 wks old.
She's one smart cookie - can ring a bell to go potty.
Sits by her food bowl and not just diving in to the bowl -...

Thanks, Everyone!
I will post pics in the puppy pictures :)

Hello,

Found it when I was googling about lab puppy.
We just welcomed a black lab puppy into our home, and she's been a great addition!
my 2-year-old son just could not...

Hi,

My 12wks black lab did that last week when temperature around here was hot.
I think her intention is to take a dip in the water bowl and only succeeding in splashing her paws and the water...

Hello,

I have a 12wks old black lab that started to whine when we got her from the breeder.
The whine gets louder and almost to a bark.
She then started refusing coming to the rear of the car...
