Q & A: Correcting poor social behavior

Mike Stewart, Owner/trainer Wildrose Kennels

I have a 1-year old, male chocolate Lab. My problem is, whenever I take him out hunting and there are other dogs present, it seems that all he wants to do is play around with them or even mount the females. His whole mindset is on what the other dogs are doing. No matter how hard I am on the dog, nothing seems to change. It seems all he wants to do is mark his territory on every bush out there! Is this something he will grow out of with age? Or is there something I can do now to help?
