LOL Labs are sooooooo much fun ! Did you have any problem crate training him? and also how long do you leave him in the crate? Tucker has been the easiest to train out of any dog I have ever had! Sometimes he is too smart for MY own good lol He really took well to the crate with lots of treats thrown in there with him and as for Potty traing omg I didnt even really have to do anything ... he brings his leash when he has to go and then sits in front of you just waiting! he can sit, ( still working on stay even after all these months lol ) he will shake and do a high 5 and say him all wilh either voice commands or hand signles and when I am in the pantry and the door closes he will grab the towel hanging there and pull it open for me when my hands are full. Truth be told I think he would make a wonderful service dog ! We are workin right now on bring the phone when it rings! Now if I could only train him to go to work for me lol
