She'll never get a shot at another. She's a beauty. Same color as a golden retriever, smart, docile except for the chewing. Just skittish from being beaten, for chewing. Who the hell gets a lab pup and won't cope with it's natural instinct.to chew? Lucky for someone that I don't get involved in the animals pick up.
Maybe she's cutting some teeth !! One of those rawhide chewers would fill the bill . :thumbsup:

Get her a rubber tractor tire. We used to give em to pitbulls on acouunt a' thats all we had they couldnt chew through in 30 seconds. They loved it.
I had a australian shepard who like to get into plants, I put hot pepper powder topdressing on all the plants and solved that right away. There's not much can be done about digging, but with chewing you just have to give them something they would rather chew. Only way.


edit: this one can backfire in the end, but sometimes it works. Give em a shoe to chew on, they love the foot stick, and it lasts a good while. But you have to lock up your other shoes.. lol.
 
My ex had a trained support animal. That little girl was the best trained dog I have ever had the pleasure to live with. She would not touch anything we didn't want her to. If a toy went behind stuff (like a pile of stereo equipment and expensive wires) she would stop cold and stare at you till you get her ball. I loved that game. If it was sort of easy to reach, she would get on her belly and stretch for it real slowly and carefully.

Good ole Maggie. I miss her terribly.

What a beautiful baby!
 
Good morning 9Bear, Stoners. Not starting out to great. Newest addition over the past month was an abused Lab/Rott. mixed pup.
Got here at 20 lbs and now 40lbs. at 14 weeks. Into and chewing everything. Last night ate a Triangle Dragon seedling, just now turned around in my chair in the garage to see that she knocked the pressure washer over and there's oil all over the floor. And hows your week starting.
What I do with my dogs... (Both are chewers, but me shepherd mix is thick skulled so he gets crate time when we're not here)
...is exercise them until they don't have the energy to get into everything. Sounds like a lot, but a two mile walk/run will do wonders. My pit's getting old, and can't make a long run anymore, So with her, a couple laps around the block works.
When I had a pit/lab mix puppy, I'd flick him on the nose and tell him no when he'd try to get into something. I found out that with labs and lab mixes, positive reinforcement works better than any other training I'd come across.

...not that flicking him on the nose was positive. Got him when he was 8 weeks, by the time he was 14 weeks he acted like a fully trained adult dog, minus the fact that if I'd go to the bathroom in the morning before letting him out, he'd pee on the side of the toilet while I was going.
