Almost Self-Reliant
Woo hoo for Belleville!
Hahaha, anyway with our two labs that whole peeing when excited thing was a norm until they were over a year old, Hwin never really stopped doing it until she'd matured. Some Labs just take a lot longer to mature, and thus a lot longer to train (or housebreak?). For instance, Samari was housebroken in no time at all, she even asked to go outside. Hwin took over a year to housebreak, she was a more hunting type lab, tall and slim and full of beans whereas Samari was a duck tolling type lab, stocky and had way less energy than Hwin.
One thing my mum always swore by with labs was Fooey!, we used to mix it into paint when we painted any trim and it kept them from chewing everything in sight. Mari did end up eating an entire sofa one day, but that was partly my fault.
