It's normal behaviour for both male & female puppies - she's "dominating" the cushion, bless her! Just distract her from doing it by offering her another toy or a game, she'll grow out of it if you don't make a big deal out of it. Spaying won't make any difference to the behaviour. If you are going to have her spayed, wait until after her first season. Labs are a biggish breed & it's better to wait until she is more mature physically & mentally.

It's common for bitches to mount objects etc and is part of the learning process in puppies. Every time she attempts to mount the cushion simply pull her off, tell her no loudly and clearly and if possible put her in another room seperate from you for 5-10mins. She will soon learn that her behaviour is causing her to be ignored and ending attention/play.

Get her spayed, it will cut down on some of it. My male Lab who is neutered still does it sometimes but he does it when he is flustrated. It is usually a dominance thing for dogs when they do tha not so much as a sexual thing. When my Lab does it I tell him no and take away the pillow or blanket and give him something proper to do. Like a toy to chew on one of his chew bones or take him for exercise.

nicely, many times a rescue org is amazingly reliable at comparing the canines and being basic with the adoptive households considering they don't choose the canines back or the criminal duty of a baby being injured. danger is that in the event that they experience the canines is powerful with little ones you would be nice. in simple terms be beneficial to oversee all interplay with the canines and young ones till you're actual specific with reference to the canines and its habit with little ones. it is likewise a reliable concept to teach your little ones on perfect habit around canines, ie: no tail pulling, no hitting, no ear pulling, no eye poking, no toy throwing, etc. Labs are generally laid back and gentle and could do super with young ones. Older canines are additionally reliable with young ones through fact they have experienced extra and are much less easily startled than puppies or youthful adults.

Get her spayed 3months after her first season.If you had her done before her season thier could be a slim chance of suffering an incontinance problem in her later years .

It's becoming a randy teenager.
Get her spayed when she's 6 months old.
