[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 605525, member: 11791"] She needs attention more than she needs exercise. take half her daily kibble... and make her earn it. Teach her a new skill ... and add more, fast. Like... teach her to sit nice, shake a paw, lie down with head on paws (we call that "sleep" some call it "rest"), pick up an object, bring you an object, put a treat on her nose and not touch it until you say so,... work up eventually to "put this in your toy bucket" to eventually "clean up your toys". (trust me, THAT trick is a real conversation starter when you have people over... you can get your DOG to do that? I can't get my KIDS to do that... ) You have to keep a lab's BRAIN going. [/QUOTE]
