Default RE: Help With New Lab Puppy

Whoa there fella. Slow down. At 11 weeks, your pup is still a BABY.
Wait for the arrival of some training books before you get too worried about what you have described.

Right now, all of your retrieves (not more than 3 or 4 at a time -- a couple times a day) should be done in a hallway.

You can't turn a Flushing Lab into a Pointing Lab. Pointing is genetic, not a trained behavior. You can train a Flushing Lab to Stand Game, but standing game is not the same as pointing.
