Two great dogs but in need of structure They are siblings that bring a whole host of problems.

Canoli, 7 month old lab, with energy to spare! Leash walking in urban environment was our focus. He loves a game of Tug too which I taught him to do with rules. We use tug to burn off some energy before we go for a walk. I like high energy dogs personally, however if not properly trained they can be problematic for many owner.
Oliver, 6 month old lab, working on leash walking and environmental exposure. Its important to expose puppies early, 8-12 week and beyond to different places, textures, sounds, people, obstacles. This is different from socializing with dogs.
