A 1 year old lab that is mostly under control?I've got a chocolate Lab, male, just turned a year old....We've taken several obedience classes with him and he's mostly under control.![]()

Sorry but having raised labs, and I currently have a lab / great dane mix, I have never known a lab that was controllable until after the brain fair visits them around 2 years of age and gives them their brains.
Notice how I said mostly! He's nuts at the park and gets a case of the crazies sometimes. But he's good on a leash, in the car, in public, etc. He comes when called, sits, stays, etc. He doesn't take his food until told and doesn't immediately wolf down something dropped on the floor. Doesn't get on the furniture. Rarely chews on what he shouldn't. Etc...
We've been through the full series of classes a Pet Smart, read a few books on training, and have worked with him regularly. We basically just wanted a good dog we can take anywhere and that isn't menace.
