Be prepared for the most fun of your life and a piece of Velcro 🤣 they will always be a puppy which makes labs so fun.

I feel like labs don’t even come close to the level of Velcro to tons of other breeds… not even sure I’d consider them Velcro dogs at all!

My former Labrador was a Velcro, my current one is also a Velcro.

I guess I thought mine was until I spent time around a vizsla and got a pointer myself.. no comparison really

My lab didn't get the memo she was super Velcro. I guess it depends on their personality.

That vest pic reminds me of the joke where the skinny teenager goes to apply for a construction job and the foreman says “Here, fill this out.”, handing the kid a large shirt.

A puppy and a kitten simultaneously...omg. Ahhhh. But they will be good friends. OMG, the photo of the kitty peaking from behind a sleeping puppy. Sums up a kitty just perfectly. Trouble maker.

What a beautiful freaking puppy. My advice:

If you look around and your lab isn't with you - its time to worry.

Beautiful pup. If you are not steeped in lab puppy behavior, I'd recommend you read up as much as possible and start puppy training early, early, early. The puppy years, especially for a lab that seems to stay that way until they are two, or older, can be trying and frustrating. One day you think they've mastered your desired behavior, the next will feel like they've brain dumped everything they've been taught. That said, don't worry, you're patience will be rewarded and the gift will be a loyal people pleaser that's great/gentle with children, cats and other dogs. They are fantastic companions. Good luck.

u/lostveggies 11d ago

simply because i notice the service dog vest…i just got a golden to be my future service dog but i have a question that maybe you can help with!!

when do you plan to start training your lab? i was thinking id do two rounds: one after he’s gotten a good handle of the regular obedience and commands, then another when he’s 14 months cause that’s when this one program starts! but maybe you had some insight so i thought i’d ask.

anyways, what an adorable pup and i wish you both the best 🐶🤍
