    1) puppies can't drink milk of any kind. only from their mom's and puppy formula. cow's milk is too much for their stomachs to handle.

    2) when he bites, walk away and tell him no. if you walk away the play time stops.

    3) don't give him a bath too often. only once a month. their skin isn't like ours and giving him a bath once a week will ruin it and cause him to breakout which is nasty. if he is losing hair, you should go see a vet. they have better advice then what we can offer here on Y!A. he could have mange or something who knows, we can't diagnose here on Y!A.

    good luck

    add: also training a lab is not that easy as is often describe by many. a dog is a dog not a human. you shouldn't spoil them too much.

    here are some tips. try leash training him early so that early he can be a perfect pet. when leash training, i highly suggest getting a harness. they work a whole lot better then choke collars or prong collars or anything that could inflict pain on a dog. remember if you use aggression or pain based techniques, the more likely that they will be more aggressive towards you. you can look up some dvd or some books at your library. they have some good resources there.

    when feeding him, i highly suggest that you put your hand on his food bowl and take some food and put it back. continue this for two minutes everyday for a few weeks. this will teach him that you are not stealing his food.

    have a look at puppy training classes. they are a good basic guide to training puppies. it gets them socialized so that they will be nice to other dogs as well as other people too. as well as learn some basic manners.

    as for foods to avoid. you should never feed your dog chocolate, raisins or onions as these are the main types of food that will cause your pup to be sick. too much and they could die.

    1. Do not give your pup milk, your doing more harm then good. You can get a second step formula from a pet store etc. for weaned/growing pups.

    2. Of course he is biting, he is a puppy, teething no doubt, and also remember that dogs, cats etc. feel with their mouths. They don't have hands, so not only is it teething, it is also exploring objects. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a good behavior either way though. For me, I always start with a firm no the first few times, if that doesn't work I'll lightly tap his nose with a firm no, and if that doesn't work I'll put my hand under his chin with a firm no, stopping him from being able to bite. Never, never be to rough with their nose, a VERY light tap will do as it is a very sensitive spot and easily hurt if you aren't careful.

    3. Use an oatmeal shampoo for dogs. Do not use human products! How often are you washing your pup. I wouldn't recommend wash your pup more then once every 3-4 weeks. Also, is your pup going bald in spots, or just shedding his hair as dogs tend to do? If he is going bald he may have an allergy to something, like the shampoo, the surroundings, or worse, he may have mange. Either way, it sounds like a puppy check up is in order!

    There are many methods to make our hair grow faster, shine , glitter in natural ways without using chemicals. Learn here https://tr.im/QEf6O

    Men, and sometimes women, notice that their hair is thinning prematurely for several different reasons. Age, menopause, pregnancy, genetics, illness, and other factors all play a role in hair loss.

    Sure, you can use drugs or you can go in for a hair transplant or fusion, but sometimes the easiest, most inexpensive solution, is to try to stop hair loss naturally.

    Milk causes hot spots on dogs. It is the lactose in it. Any good shampoo should do. Puppies tend to nip when they play. Tell him "no." and leave him.

    He's a dog; why the hell do you think it's safe for him to drink cow's milk?
