Have you got him chew toys? If you've had him three weeks he was taken away too early and so I'm guessing you didn't get him from a responsible breeder, Taken away means he hasn't been socialised. My guess is that you either haven't kept it up enough or you're not redirecting his chewing. If your yelp is more of an 'ow!' don't make it an ow, make it a YELP. it's an easy noise to make once you know how xD and keep it up - dont run away from him. Once you've got a proper yelp, if he doesn't stop, turn your back and ignore him for five minutes. Never resort to shock collars or chokers or whatever - they're cruel 'quick fixes'. Get him a kong toy - you can put treats inside them, he has fun getting them out and they're great for soothing his teeth. You could also try bringing a fully vaccinated adult female dog in to correct him of his biting. Also, desensitize him to cars. Treat him when he's quiet around ones with the engine turned off, and gradually work up to the car actually moving. Your best bet until he's had his shots is to walk him at night and at dawn, and cross the road if you happen to see another dog. Don't let him sniff other dogs' mess or anything else other dogs may have been near - it's easier to walk him on a quiet street or in the road, as not many people are about that time of day. Also, don't let him off at fields, so many dogs go there.. hope i helped (:

Depends on the dog. I had a yellow lab as a teenager. She stopped growing at about 12 months. After that she took a little time to fill out.

Probably around 18 mos - 2 years. After that, he will fill out weight wise.

As I recall with my own lab retriever that I had when I was a kid, its going to be awhile. I really hope for your sake and its, you made sure before taking him or her on as a pet, that you made sure you had a home that was large enough to give it plenty of room to move around in.

Labs will typically get to their height and weight by 1 year, how every they will mentally mature over the next couple of years.
