Unsure really. I have a staffy x lab. Shes 18months and still chews. I have learned though. I don't give her old items that she can chew when I have a new same item she cant chew. IE I don't give her an old shoe to chew but reprimand her when she chews a new shoe. It confuses her.They cant tell the difference. Also I don't tell her off when I discover something hours/days later. She will wonder what the hell she is in trouble for. For all the mess they make the love they give more than makes up for it.

Usually when they loose the puppy teeth effect, have you got a Pets at Home near where you live, they do a thing called a Worry Toy, you can stick bits of food inside it for your labbie and it will have him/her so intrigued trying to get the bits of food out it will stop the chewing, we have a golden retriever and we got one for her when she was a pup and it worked for us, we just put dried food or bits of biscuit in, if your leaving him/her alone for too long they tend to chew then cause they get lonely, I know this might sound absolutely stupid but have you a partner/husband that has smelly feet, well after he takes his socks off a night put them through the labbies collar, for some reason it stops the chewing of things in the house, it worked for us I couldn't tell you how it does work but give it a try, good luck.

Mines still chewing tobacco and hes 37, that's 39 in dog years, and show no signs of stopping. Not even with the big health warnings on the pack. I don't think there is a solution.

They really don't stop chewing. They slow down after they are a couple of years. Just keep something that your dog can always chew on. Like rawhide bones.

Hi, some grow out of it others dont, The best thing to do is, when your dog starts to chew something he isnt suppose to, You tell him/her no and give it a toy to chew, or a stick or hyde. He then knows that he should only choose these types of things to chew. We did it with my dogs when they were puppies and it works.

Never, that type of dog just likes to chew on things. I would assume once they grow into an adult dog the problem would lessen, but not completely go away. Be sure to give the dog plenty of chew toys.
My parents attempted to get one of these dogs for us as kids, but after a few months we had to get rid of the dog, because it was too much to handle. Good luck with yours.

My lab doesnt really tend to chew too much anymore, not since we got him a mahoosive bone to chew on and I think it put him off chewing. He loves carrying things around though, especially my shoes. He tends to pick my shoe up, show it to everyone and anyone who's around, walk around with it, and drop it somewhere. So I'm often left wandering around the house with one shoe on looking for the other LOL

Ahh... Labs are spunky dogs. They're beautiful and big. But they usually stop chewing excessively when they lose all their milk teeth. if your lab doesn't stop, try using some bitter apple spray, availible in most magazines and stores. Good luck!

Often they don't. Make sure you keep plenty of toys & things okay for him to chew on so he doesn't start chewing things that he isn't supposed to.
