My grandma also has an 80lb Lab and I've walked her and Jackson, my yorkie, at the same time. I would suggest first training the Lab not to pull by itself. I highly suggest the Premier EZ Walk harness (Petsmart, Petco, etc). They have large sizes and small sizes. It's a harness with a d-ring on the front and it trains them to walk beside you. It's what helped me train Jackson. I think it's easiest if you have two dogs walking at your side so first work with the Lab, then practice together! I keep Jackson on my left side and the Lab on my right hand because she is stronger and I'm right handed. |
