Default RE: Skittish lab pup

as doc says, he is right on.. i am seeing more labs that act this way..mine did too and does today,he used to bite certain people..

why, because his mother did it..it in genes of some dogs and difficult to correct,if ever..my lab is getting much better but i have to watch him..

some dogs take 1 incident and carry it forever.. i seen a kid hit a dog puppy with stick.. to this day, that lab hates KIDS.. kids can ruin a dog if not supervised when dog is puppy..never let dog alone with kid when dog is puppy..why kids do things they do to dog, is beyond me..

just today i saw young girl TWIST ear of dog that is puppy..that dog will remember that and if its in GENES anyhow,you will have a problem..

can it be corrected, well, not 100%,most i seen is about 75% as they get older..

i cant leave my dog around kids or strangers UNLESS he knows them..
