My guy is 5 years old and it has just been the two of us since he was 6 weeks old. When I first got him, I worked down the road and was able to come home and check on him at lunch hour. Now, I work a little further away and cannot get home at lunch as often as I’d like. We go for a walk in the morning, a walk when I get home, and a walk before calling it a night. He has free reign of my home, lots of toys and rawhide and nylabones to keep him content. His only requirement is a window to look out at the world during his day. He’s a perfect gentleman. When I travel, he goes with me. He loves to hang his head out the window. I did kennel him for the first 2 years during the day, but slowly started introducing him to the whole house.
I really don’t know if he has been fixed or not. Usually, he’s a very laid back and relaxed type of dog. He is one of those dogs that has anxiety when it rains and around fireworks.
No, he’s not inside all day. He is actually an outside dog that has access to an enclosed porch area that is heated, has food, water and bedding for him throughout the day. He has a large fenced in yard with plenty of shade in the summer. He does the damage in the enclosed porch area. I have told my friend that finding the lab a new home would be best and that someone else would be able to give him the attention he needs.
