my lab at times runs right by me with bumper,so, i make like i dont want it ,then he brings it to me.

they get bored over time as they age.

but say to my lab,TOBY YOU WANT TO GO HUNTIN,he will stand at attention.

like hunting rabbits in my yard, he knows they will out run him, so, he just looks at them now, he used to go full speed and crash thru brush..
get TOBY out in hunting fields and let rabbit jump out and its full blast after rabbit.

they know when they are hunting or walking or playing.

my problem is i cant put him in kennel in back, he goes nuts.

i should have raised him in kennel in truck ,not front seat, what a mistake that was.

i have to wear ear plugs the whole way to field as this overexcited hunting lab barks the whole way .

i wish i could find solution to barking in front seat,i have none and have given up and now wear hearing plugs.
