My lab, Max, is 10 months old. We had him neutered a couple of weeks ago because he was biting and barking at us a lot. Since being neutered, his temper tantrums seem to have gotten worse. Let me explain what I mean by "temper tantrum". Whenever he doesn't get what he wants, which is usually...

My puppy is almost 6 months old and we have just started letting him sleep outside of his kennel at night. So far he has done well being out by himself at night. I'm wondering what your thoughts are about what is a good age to start leaving him home alone without confining him in his kennel.

This is my puppy Max. As you can probably tell, he is a yellow lab. He is currently 5 months old but this picture was probably taken over a month ago. He is quite a bit bigger now than he is in this picture.

We are having a spell of rainy weather here in South Dakota and my puppy is driving us crazy because he's not getting his normal exercise. I've started taking him for walks every morning, which he loves, but we live in a new construction development so when it rains he gets really muddy and I...

I have noticed that my 4 month old lab puppy has a runny nose today. More than once today I could actually see snot running down the front of his nose. It is winter, we are actually having a blizzard today, and I live in South Dakota so I'm wondering if this is related to the weather or if he...

I think my 4 month old Lab, Max, is teething. He whines a lot for no specific reason and he doesn't seem to be aggressively chewing on his toys. In fact, he doesn't seem as interested in his toys as he used to. Is there anything I can do to make this process a little easier for him?

My 4 month old lab, Max, has developed a very bad habit. Whenever my husband or I are walking around the house, he will bite at our ankles. Most of the time he just grabs our pants and lets go as soon as we stop walking. However, sometimes he bites down on our legs which really hurts. And...

My 3 1/2 month old lab puppy gets the hiccups almost daily. Is this normal and will he grow out of it?

My 12 week old lab, Max, is chewing on everything. I was willing to overlook it as something he will grow out of, but he recently started chewing on his pillow and has put at least one hole in it. Has anyone tried the sprays that have a bitter taste to try to encourage the puppy not to chew on...

Does any one have any thoughts on how to get my puppy to bark when he needs to be let out? Right now he will sit by the door for a few minutes and if we don't let him out within a reasonable (by his standards) amount of time he will pee in the house.

Can anyone explain to me why my 12 week old male yellow lab puts things in his mouth then vigorously shakes his head back and forth while growling?

All the information I've found dealing with separation anxiety says that the best way to handle it is to leave your dog alone for very short periods of time then gradually increase the amount of time you are gone. We keep our puppy in a crate when we are not home so I'm wondering if the times...

Bear with me as I am new to the world of online forums. I was encouraged by my husband to find a forum dealing with dogs so that 1) I can get help with training our puppy and 2) I can interact with others who have similar interests. Our labrador retriever puppy, Max, is almost 12 weeks old...
