HI,
Over the last month or so, Brad has developed a few fears. We think it is his age, and his 'teenage' phase, i think he must have loads of hormones going around his little body at the moment.
Anyway, on walks he will suddenly stop and look all around him and not move for about 5 minutes. This can happen in the middle of a field or as we are about to cross a road. (We always make him 'sit' before crossing a road, so now he sits and will not cross the road until he decides it's ok)
We have noticed he is alot more clingy, in the past it has taken alot of training for us to get him to walk by our sides (which he now does) but now it is the opposite, he is glued to our legs! When it gets dark outside, he does not like walking at all, and he can't wait to be back indoors once again.
I suppose with Bradley, almost every walk is to a new place as we are travelling at the moment, so there is always so much to explore as it is.
I'm sure this phase will past, but i'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with their lab?
Would be interested to hear from anyone else,
Brad is now 9 months old.
Many Thanks
Julie
