RE: Hyper Black Lab
First thing you must establish is that your the top dog in the house..
If you watch while dogs play you will notice the have a tendancy to
go for each others throats...This is exactly how wolves and coyotes
establish their peckking order...When my dog was a pup and he did not
listen...I'd started to play wil him and then pin him down by his neck...
He will submit....watch his eyes...after a few times he'll get the hint..
and learn that your in charge....After that...repitition is the key..
and lots of it....one word commands...and reward him when he has done things correctly.
As for the hyper behavior....is he alone and inside
most of the time? Most dogs grow out of that.....
He just needs exersize.
