How to control 80lb dog with puppy-like behaviour?
I currently have an 80lb lab that is really poorly behaved. He's chewing couches, clothing, jumping on counters, humping etc. I tried to tire him out in the yard but we're currently experiencing downpours and outside isn't an option. He doesn't respond to "No!" and barely responds to his name. He is extremely friendly however and that is not a concern in the least. I have him until 630 this evening and am supposed to sit him tomorrow too. Please help!
Sorry if not in time. But I always say that dog is like a puppy for at least 2 years. Labs love water and rain okay so ALWAYS bring for long walk runs UNLESS lightning. ALWAYS ask owners for suggestions? Also most owners have go to words and NO is usually not one of them. Try Leave it or use crate?
Lots if exercise. Labs are known for excess energy. Also they can chew a entire house down in a day. Thick beef hip bones are a great source to chew on and keep them from other things. Good luck!
