A piece of advise TRAINING Dear friend. Please do not chain dogs up or put them in cages. Dogs are cheerful and wonderful creatures that likes to run about, if you chain or cage them up, they will develop behavioral problems such as aggresiveness. Dogs have to be trained. At puppy stage, they're teeth are growing, so you should but lots of bone treats such as "Greenies" for it to bite on or they will start biting everything they see - shoes, clothes, toys, etc. When you train them, you have to use two tones of voice - firm voice when you command and playful voice when you want to play with him/her. Your voice have to always stay the same tone everytime you command. Retrievers/Labrodors are VERY EASY to train. Just use the right method. It's going to grow big, so better train now or it will be hard for you the handle them when the grow bigger. Please bare in mind that no matter what size the dog is, they act the same. However, when a Shit Szy jumps up to you, you think its cute. Bigger dogs think and acts the same, and its not cute, they might push you down or hurt you, so TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN! FOOD TO FEED Rertrivers/Labrodors (which I own as well) will encounter skin disease later when they age therefore, you have to always take care of their coat. Don't feed them ANY chicken or chicken flavored biscuits. ONLY feed them dog biscuits flavored Lamb & Rice...which is the best for their coats and prevent skin irritations. Also if you can find in pet shops, feed them pure cod liver oil for shiny coats and healthy skin. Hope it helps! Cheers! Serene
