I have a yellow lab whom is 10 months old,does that mean he is about 6 yrs old in human years?
Answers:
Actually the dog is closer to 12 to 14 years old, in human years.
It was commonly believed that the dog ages 7 years for every 1 human year but that has been updated to reflect the dog's developmental stages.

I think it goes for every human year its seven for a dog
Well, the ratio is supposedly 7 dog years for every 1 human year. So, yes that would make him about 6 years old in human years.
But it doesn't work exactly like that. Its only an estimate.
That one year in human years = 7 years in dog years doesn't actually pan out. A 10 month old lab is a teenager. Unfortunately, a lab is going to stay a teenager for at least another year (at least his brain will!). The bigger the dog, the faster they generally age. That's why an Irish Wolfhound could die of old age related stuff when he's only about 8 while a Maltese might live to be 18 or 19. But all dogs go through that teen phase - some for 6 months and some for 2 years - before becoming adults. During that age they forget the rules, test the rules, get goofy for no reason, get really hyper, be more influenced by their dog friends than their human parents and in general act just like a human teen. Good luck. Have patience. Be consistent and you'll end up with a great dog.
yes hes like 6
I don't think so!I heard that 1 year of dogs is 7 years of human.not i mounth or some thing else.
