Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed
hello, i have recently moved in with my grandparents who have an 8 month old lab retriever puppy. she has boundless energy & has developed a chewing problem due to boredom. they take her on extremely short walks, over feed her, and don't regularly bathe her. she has bad behavior around other dogs & is barely leash trained. ive offered to take her on longer walks, as i am much younger than they are, but they flat out refused as they dont see a "problem". should i still help out the best i can?

Unfortunately, there is little you can do if it is against their wishes. Try to keep your belongings and any dangerous items in the house away from her since she is a chewer. You can continue to ask them to allow you to walk her.
