We just adopted a 1.5 year old spayed yellow lab from the Humane Society and brought her home last night. I guess we really don't know all that much about this breed but she was extremely hyper and just chewed, chewed, chewed all night.
Our thoughts on this is that she is new to our household and is probably a little over-excited. We're sure hoping that within a few days or a week, she will calm down and fall into our routine. She doesn't seem to listen to us at all. She jumps on counters and furniture. She pulls excessively on the leash during walks. We are committed to consistently training her in areas that need work and we've already begun but she doesn't seem to "get it". And, again, we don't really know all that much about this breed. Are they generally hyper? Are they fast learners? Are they easily trainable? Do they make good family pets? Did we make a huge mistake here? PLEASE HELP!
