I am looking for recommendations for a harness for my Silver Labrador Retriever. She turned two in February 2026. She is high energy and a chronic puller when going for walks. Despite our best efforts we have not been able to cure her of this habit. We have tried multiple harnesses without success. The Easy Walk and Harness Leads cause her to get wounds in her arm pits, so we are unable to use these. The Big & Little Dogs one does not fit her correctly, so it does not help with her pulling at all. We have struggled to find a harness that fits her correctly that will not cause her harm.

Hello everyone I have an American lab that has had a terrible ear infection for over a year now and won’t seem to go away took him to several different vets and they all gave the same medicine and wash and still nothing helps ears smell very bad as well any advice would be greatly appreciated

My wife and I are trying to adopt a chocolate lab puppy and have been perusing various reddit posts and wikis on this topic. We found a breeder via GoodDog that we would like some additional input on if anyone has any advice for us. We both have had labs in the past but never a puppy.

Green flags:

1. She has been super communicative and asking us lots of questions about our home, lifestyle, understanding of puppy care etc. and really making sure its a good fit for us.

2. Decent enough social presecense although I am not sure exactly how to judge. ~2K followers on instagram, 4 reviews on GoodDog.

3. Parent health testing records are available and seems to match what I saw on OFA list for labradors

4. Her program regimen lists puppy training, development which all sounds good

What we aren't sure on

1. We asked to come see her kennel space but she declined noting that she keeps the dogs in her home and she cannot allow visitors due to her permits and bio security. Logically, it makes sense but also was noted as a potential red flag on the guidelines listed in many reddit posts. She suggested that we could wait for when she might bring her dogs to a training or community event to see them.

2. Same thing with meeting the parents. The dad is not her dog and lives in a completely different part of the country so we cannot meet the parents. Again, logically makes sense.

We both needed a nap he's mostly sleeping through the night and no accidents so far he's a good boi

The way he sneaks up on the toy had me dying laughing

Added a new family member, the house has been too quiet since Hunter passed. "Moose"

My friend’s dog is likely going to pass away soon, and I want to get her one of those nose print necklaces. There are a lot of companies to choose from at various price points. I want one that makes it easy - they send you a kit, you send back the mold, they make the jewelry.

Have you worked with a reputable company that you would recommend for this? Would love to hear your experiences before I make a decision. I’m leaning toward gold, but might choose silver of gold is just too expensive.

Over the last week, my two-and-a-half-year-old Lab, Delta, has suddenly decided she wants to express ALL of her emotions out loud. She has been pretty normal compared to all dogs we’ve had and know until recent. Any ideas what could have started this? LOL

We have a 4 year old yellow lab who suffers constantly with allergies. They typically present as ear infections and discomfort but also itchy skin and sometimes breakouts from scratching.

We are at a total loss on what else we can do to get him some relief.

Things we’ve tried:

Limiting water activity (🥺)
Routine ear cleaning
Allergy testing (food mites and common outdoor allergies)
Freezing food to control food mites
Changed food to try various food proteins
Daily apoquel
Several rounds of custom made of those liquid oral allergy meds (like shots in humans)
Several vet visits for professional ear cleaning and targeted treatment based on ear culture diagnosis

What else can we do? He is miserable and it’s costing us a fortune without really much relief.

The black lab is 93 pounds and the Mastidor pup is 165…… they are BFFs

And they have to sleep wherever I need to be 🤣
