Hello, Helpers -- My 80-year-old mother has an 80-lb, 1-year-old lovable & chunky chocolate Lab. She's been working with a trainer with him since she adopted him in December. And still he needs some work.
He pulls when walking, and he lunges at oncoming people and dogs. Other than that, he's a total sweetheart. :)Two weeks ago he yanked her the wrong way while they were walking, and she wound up with a broken knee.
She can't walk him for at least a month. He's boarding with his trainer right now, but starting around Feb. 13th she will need a dog walker to exercise him twice a day -- morning and late afternoon or evening.
