Re: 7 month old Lab.
is heskey a boy or a girl?

usually its because when they're so young they haven't developed fully they need the hormones that they develop later.

Re: Afraid of my 7 month old Lab.
my vet told me to wait until oz is 1yr to have him done! So that bone and muscle can grow properly first! You do need to socialise and train your dog at every opportunity!

heskey jones is on a distinguished road
Re: Afraid of my 7 month old Lab.
He's a beautiful boy! So far he's been much better today. He jumped on the sofa today but I managed to get him down, he did it about 4 times and each time I got him down, he hasn't jumped up since. He also went to the back door to go to the toilet he had one nibble on my hand and when I said ouch he stopped straight away. There may be hope for me yet!

Heskey is a male right? Male's don't have seasons!

I am a little worried about the validity of your vet if the vet thinks that HE is going to have a season - only bitches have seasons.

I try to stroke him and coax him down but he won't budge he just goes for my hands. I know play biting is part and parcel of having a dog but I think it may be more than that. He is being neutered next week but It worries me that he might go for my little boy. Any advice, I don't want to lose him.
jumping on furniture, illustrate a dog that wants to raise his station in life. By jumping on you or jumping on the couch, he's saying that he's the pack leader-
Use the "Sit" command. This is one of the most basic, and important, commands.

Re: Afraid of my 7 month old Lab.
Dogs jump on the furniture because why ever not? It's simply somwwhere else for them to sit/lay down until they learn otherwise from us.

Re: Afraid of my 7 month old Lab.
To the original poster:


Please do not take this the wrong way because I think you genuinely love and care for your dog BUT I think you walked into dog ownership unprepared.

You really need to get proper advise, professional training and get this lab sorted.

Jumping on furniture just means they haven't been taught any manners, nothing to do with pack structure.

You MUST assert your alpha leader rank!
In order to stop your dog from jumping dog there are two essential commands: The SIT command, and the OFF command.
When the dog jumps on the furniture, immediately say OFF.Repeat this command several times Praise immediately when he stops himself from jumping.
