Oh my gosh, I am so sorry this happened to you and Bubba! Stories like this are why I usually do not allow Teller to approach strange dogs while on a leash, even if the owner insists they are...

It hasn't happened on a regular basis and he is only around other dogs at the dog park, but the same people go to the dog park and he has gotten to know all of the dogs that go there during our time...

We let Teller out in the backyard to go to the bathroom and only when we are out there to watch him. Well, he discovered a rotten plank and squeezed out twice last week. The first time we didn't know...

Teller has been doing great! He's settled in even more and seems to have accepted the house rules (cat food isn't his, no zoomies/rough play in the house, house time is calm time); he can now be...

Is he just mounting your Mastiff or is he that way with other dogs he meets? Knowing his health history, I would take a trip to the vet to rule out problems where that is concerned, especially since...

Welcome! I bet Bo will love a little human brother or sister. Although we have no babies around the house, Teller loves the little kids I babysit and the babies in the neighborhood. One little boy...

Same. I am a lifeguard and would have just gone out of instinct. I've already thought about what I would do if Teller got swept away with the current in the river we go to and the verdict is the...

Given Teller's enthusiastic chewing and playfulness, I am always on the hunt for toys. He has pretty much every product from the Extreme Kong line, a Goughnut, tennis balls, and his training dummies....

Welcome! I am sorry this happened as well and it is one of my biggest fears that I will have a dog that bites someone. Especially after reading all of those stories about dogs who bite and are...

He has settled in a lot better and faster than I expected. He can almost completely separate house time from play now. But he does have a very high energy level, as in he can run full tilt for hours...

I have two adorable ones, if that's not too much!

1. I walk Teller through the neighborhood at least once a day and the other week we were walking at night and there was this mom with 2 kids in...

My boyfriend bought Teller the red one and it did not hold up to his chewing at all. I got him several toys from their black extreme line: the bone, regular kong, tire, and I will be getting him the...

I went onto these forums for advice before jumping into using the e collar, as I thought it was more responsible to get advice from people with experience than to just start zapping my dog. I...

Our neighbor's use Frontline and it recently stopped working on them as well, however I do not live in a tick-heavy area. The Frontline stopped working for fleas and all of her 4 animals have them...

Yay! Congrats! That is incredibly impressive and she sounds like a great dog.

This is our experience with Teller. The trainer asked if he was food-motivated and we laughed. I carry treats in my pockets and he will root around them for leftover morsels. Nothing will throw him...

I did not mean for it to sound that way or to ruffle any feathers. I was trying to state that I had not encountered very many well-bred labs, a fact which is unfortunate. Most of the labs I see ARE...

I am so far impressed by the vet's office I selected. I've had less than sub-par interactions with vets for the most part with my other dogs. The only other vet I've liked has been the one we use for...

The trainer also showed us positives (I believe) in the form of treat training. However, I didn't focus on that aspect so much, as it is going well (I think). He will go into his crate with treats or...

The trainer said we could use either the e collar or the prong collar. She just happened to have prong collars and gave us one. She did say that if we were going to train him in the field (which I...

Aww, look at those paws and that face!

My Shih Tzu got sent away to be trained but and I was considered doing it for hunting training for Teller but it's so expensive around here (in addition to being far away), the average price is $650...

Thank you for this! I called the vet and they said they would price match. I decided to go with the Trifexis since he was already on it with no adverse reactions. The vet also said they I can return...

First off, thanks so much for all the help and patience with my dumb questions, lol. Could it be more obvious that I've never owned or trained a big dog puppy before?

Here's the update:
We took...

Okay, good. I called the vet and asked about the panting. She has a good amount of experience with goldens and labs and she said it wasn't cause for concern unless he started showing some other sort...
