Help! My Lab is trying to kill me..

We have 2 chocolate labs at school. One is more calmer then the other. You may need to have some training done with her.

Thanks for the replies freinds. I am looking into obedience training and going to the vet to see about some type of medication... I used to be a teacher....heck, if I still were, I could have just taken some of my students' ridilin to give her...

You can try obedience now but sometimes the dogs are still to much like wild puppies. Do read the book Marley & Me it will help you keep your sanity. Lucy sounds just like Marley. My grandpuppy (a black lab) is 5 years old & is still hyper & nervous. I use to take him & my other two dogs on 5 mile walks over hills, through streams & woods. He would actually settle down after that. I was wore out though. Another thing are you near a place where your dog can swim in a river or creek. They love the water & fetching things. That would wear her down some. Marley's owner ended up using meds to calm Marley down but mainly during thunder storms. Marley would ripe the house apart & was afraid of thunderstorms. I would not let Lucy play with the older dog she could hurt it. The labs are so big & playful they don't know they are being to rough when they roughhouse with an older dog. Another thing is there a dog part near you? That is a good place to take your dog for exercise. The dogs can run together there & play & jump around in a fenced in area. They all wear each other out while there.
