Labrador Poops While Walking

Yellow Labrador Puppy Sleeping in Dog CrateQuestion:
I really love all the information on this blog and as a new dog owner it is awesome that I can come here and learn so much about my yellow Lab, Honey.

I have a question – our dog loves going for walks, runs, and loves to catch tennis balls – she could do that for hours. Our biggest beef with her is that she wont do her business in the yard so we think it’s safe to go for a walk then no sooner we’re walking and she deicides to poop… while still walking. It comes out of no where, we don’t even see it coming so we could allow her to go in a safe place, right there on the sidewalk…UGH.

Aggressive Puppy Playing Problem

Chocolate and Yellow Labradors Playing with a StickQuestion:
We have a black lab puppy 13 weeks old and a yellow lab puppy 8 weeks old from a different liter. Unfortunately we didn’t read about the disadvantages of having 2 at the same time until your site. So here we are!! The problem we are having is our black lab does not play nicely. When the yellow lab is out the black continually bites her on the neck, scruff, and tries to get on top of her. It is a constant fight. I don’t want our new puppy to always be attacked. So at this point we keep them separated. Do you have any tips that could help?
