[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the same way as you.  My husband wanted a dog and does the bulk of the work but dog is worse than a newborn.[/quote]

We adopted a 1yo dog a few years ago. She definitely has never been as much work as a newborn. Not even close.[/quote]

My 3 year old dog still wakes me up in the middle of the night.[/quote]

That’s extremely unusual. Our 13 week old lab puppy is in a crate in our bedroom from about 10:30pm-6:30am. Once she’s able to sleep outside the crate, we will get an auto feeder and set it to put out her kibble at a reasonable breakfast time. Then we will be able to sleep for as long as we want to. Potty is taken care of because we have a doggy door that goes out to a fenced in backyard.

Point being, your situation is not typical.[/quote]

Your situation doesn’t sound typical either. Labs are notoriously mischievous as puppies and keep a puppy mindset for 2-3 years. I would never trust a young lab to be unsupervised roaming around inside or out while we slept. They also want to be with you. They’re not great at occupying themselves independently when they’re young unless they’re getting into something they shouldn’t. Also many labs are adept at fence jumping so until you know about yours, I wouldn’t leave it unsupervised in your fenced yard. [/quote]
