    Versatile Lab

    Go slow if you feel like your training is going to slow then slow down more. It is natural to have this pup and work with it everyday and see it progress. Your natural instinct is to progressively make things harder and raise your expectations. All of a sudden you are at 8 or 9 months and you...
