I liked "How to train your own Gun Dog" for a lab. Worked great.

Was the dog a pretty accurate shot when you finished?

Thats good i didnt think of Tucker Carlson but it is a great comparison. Looks like the hair is growing out pretty fast, I think the parents are fighting a losing battle

I thought if the lab learns how to shoot then you have to swim and retrieve the birds

This is going to sound super wrong but .... As long as you can fit two fingers under the collar it's a perfect fit. They just have a lot of skin that pushes up.

Make sure and check them for sores in a few days. Still think they are too tight.

That is correct. Two fingers between the collar and the neck is perfect. The skin is loose in that area, much more and they can pull out of it on a leash if they get excited and start pulling. Now that is two fingers side by side, middle finger next to the neck, index finger against the collar. Although those collars do look just a little wide for them.

Screw Cesar Millian, I'm the dog whisperer.

I knew you'd like to see him

I like the wide collar it looks better on them

True, Titan slipped out of his one time because Justin thought it was too tight then he got out of it... I just looked at him like he was dumb

I agree with Lee. Titan is my favorite. He sure is a pretty boxer.

I'd let him just climb up in my lap and lick me all over the face while I hugged on him and told him what a good boy he was.
That's a really sweet, lovable pup.

The good thing is that you know he hasn't been licking his ***** first. Poor little guy.
