My old black lab was just like that at first because my parents got him for me when I was way too young, about 8 or so, AND they also got him from just some Add, picked him out in someones garage and he had epilepsy(sp?)

But as I got older(but so did he), I got him walking good on a leash, he knew alot of tricks..etc, but him and I would have been alot happier if they waited until I could have taught him all that right away.

This has nothing to do with MariaM lol because well they arent 8 but I was just agreeing to how they can get without enough attention, not saying it won't be getting it..
