Labrador Puppy

[RubyB]

My Labrador puppy Indy is very energetic and loves trouble. The thing is she can't go out yet and is getting more restless and cheeky wot can I do to keep her amuzed!

why can't she go out yet???

I play with Riley all the time in the house--I throw the ball for him--especially down the steps--he just loves to run up and down the steps!!!
It helps too that he has another brother and sister to play with--they are constantly romping around the house!!!!!

How about starting basic training? It'll keep her mentally busy. Or...in kai's case, he gets a turkey neck bone to keep him busy =]

You should never give a dog a turkey neck bone. Turkey neck bones splinter and dogs can choke on them, many dogs have been killed by neck bones. That goes for cats as well.

oh. i gave beanie a neck bone on turkey day. i also read in a book that in the UK there is a hunter that feeds his dogs necks with dog food everyday.

Hmm....that's odd!! Our vet said the opposite...he has treated many patients with injuries from neck bones.

Throw balls for her to fetch.
Take her for long tiring walks.
Throw balls for her to chase.
Make sure she has lots of okay things to chew on.
Play tug-of-war (gently, she's still small).
Throw balls for her to fetch. (Is your arm sore yet? )

Thanx shes now starting to calm down and yes my arm is sore

I have a big play pen for my puppy and that is where she spends most of her time whaen I'm at school and basic training is good if you have a PetsMart near by.
