Labradors are energetic, food-loving dogs — but that doesn't mean they should be awake and active all day. From Labrador puppies and teenagers to adult and senior Labradors, sleep is essential for healthy brain development, learning, recovery and emotional regulation. An overtired Labrador can look like a “naughty” dog — more excitable, mouthy, restless, barky and unable to settle. Sometimes they don't need another walk, another game or more stimulation… They need a nap. 😴 Understanding your Labrador's sleep needs, exercise needs, enrichment and ability to settle can make a huge difference to their behaviour and wellbeing. 🐾 Save this for your Labrador 🐾 Follow for more Labrador training, behaviour, enrichment and breed-specific advice. #Labrador #LabradorRetriever #LabradorPuppy #LabradorTraining #LabradorBehaviour
