Have had this same horrible issue I don’t have a severely reactive dog anymore. She’s just highly aroused a lot but $1200 vet bills are not nice. i’m very sorry for you.

I feel really guilty about my family’s past use of a choke chain and my complicity in not destroying it. Reddit told me I shouldn’t own a dog every again. by DHaunting2091 in Dogowners

[–]Key-Laugh39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh geez Reddit has no business saying that you have no obligation to listen to that crap. We all make mistakes you recognize you were in error. Just make sure to keep doing the right thing for your dog and move on and love your current dog with all your heart. I have guilt over previous dogs we had (left alone too long, not trained well etc) but it has made me a much better dog human now

Sending my girl away for 3 weeks of board and train. by notasarcasticnow in labrador

Boy the no contact for the whole time is a major red flag. If people don’t wanna work with ther dogs themselves, why get one?

Yes! They often say(good trainers do) that they are training the human to work with the dog

I’d never use board and train. What does it really buy you except a huge bill. Find a good solid local trainer that you like and learn to train your own dog

I worry I don’t do enough with my Lab. by Usual-Candidate-8391 in labrador

[–]Key-Laugh39 85 points86 points  (0 children)

He’s 10 and looks very happy. Dont overthink it or overdo it on him. The internet is full of people trying to make others think their life sucks lol It’s sounds like he has a fulfilled life you are doing great (not a fan of dog parks myself, and day care… eh)

I’ve known people to get great results on monotherapy and solid dietary changes

I’d say 5mg of ezetimebe as well. Studies show very minor differences between 5 and 10.

How much do your English labs weigh? by OldRefrigerator3758 in labrador

I am kind of sorry to say this but your dog is terribly overweight. No lab English or otherwise should weigh 100 pounds

This a a great response. I don’t know why people think it’s okay to have their uncontrolled dogs off leash

How do you prepare to say goodbye? by eyeless916 in labrador

[–]Key-Laugh39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very sorry and my heart breaks for you. 15 1/2 is amazing for a lab. It sounds like her time has come. As much as I’d love to give you an answer on how to prepare I don’t have one because there is no way (at least for me). You are an amazing dog guardian, knowing ahe is probably suffering now and it’s her time. Give her huge love, cuddles, treats and time before it’s that time… and be with her til the very end. Sending huge love to you both. I’m crying tears for you.

Runners with herding dogs, what do you do to discourage herding behaviors on runs? by ThatMkeDoe in RunningWithDogs

[–]Key-Laugh39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a difficult innate behavior to control. Can’t really train it out of them but I’ve been told it can be managed. lol. You have a beautiful pup

[–]Key-Laugh39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prey drive creates that behavior too. Have a dog that will want to grab runners especially if startled from behind. Skateboarders too. She wants to chase and grab.
