Dog Question

A lot of great advice in this thread, so I don't have much to add except having a puppy is like having a new baby, until you get them on a schedule, everyone will be a little tired. Labs are about the easiest dogs to train so positive reinforcement with treats and praise will do the trick. Never call a dog to you to do something bad, but go to the dog instead. I believe in discouraging bad behavior with words like off and no and then redirecting to something you can praise.
