This is my first-time dog sitting a chocolate lab puppy and let me tell you, it is a lot at the moment. The chocolate lab's name is Cooper and when I initially got asked to sit him I was super excited and more than happy to do it. For me it sounded like a win-win situation when it came to sitting a puppy and getting paid for it. So I said yes and we went about the needs for him and what they do when it comes to Cooper specifically. Now Cooper passed his training. He does do basic training. He comes to you when called, he will sit, if you tell him to wait to eat the food he will, and he does this cute command called Touch where he touches his nose to your hand. The downside is his biting. 

He has an issue with not understanding that your hands are not toys. If you try to grab him or if you take a toy away from him he will whip his head around and try to bite you in response and those puppy teeth are no joke. They hurt so bad. He already got me multiple times and he has no sense of when to stop biting. He also wants to tear into anything you leave laying around. Shirts, shoes, blankets, socks, he will try and eat it. It's a little bit of a hassle but I am working with him to make him understand that biting is bad. 

Of course, I am happy that I got the chance to sit him but I will be glad when this one is said and done. My hands can only take so much more of his teething. Adorable but deadly is what I would say for him. Hopefully, if they want me to sit him again, they will have the biting under control. We shall see with time.
