All About Dogs

It's important to start your labrador puppy training as early as possible (it's never too late to start though!). Your cute little lab puppy will quickly grow to be a big powerful and excitable dog, which will be hard to control without somebasic obedience training.

Labrador Retrievers respond best to positive, non violent, reward based training methods. All they require are some guidelines and boundaries to be set in order to become well respected and trusted members of society. Your Lab will do his/her best for you when training, there's no need for harsh "yank n crank" type training methods. They thrive on the physical and mental stimulation which obedience training provides - plus it is time spent with you which is a bonus.

Early puppy socialization is vital for your Labrador. It helps them to be comfortable around all types of people, animals and our human world in general.

All the basic dog obedience training commands such as sit, down, stay and heel will be enthusiastically and easily learned by your Lab puppy. Anybody who has had the pleasure of living with a Labrador puppy will acknowledge the importance of these two puppy training commands - Training your Labrador towalk nicely on a loose leash and also to stop jumping up on people. This is because of their size, strength and excitable nature - the good thing is they are quick learners.

If you plan to train your Labrador puppy (or older dog!) yourself at home, I'd recommend you follow this comprehensive Labrador training tool - Dog Training Membership Site. This is a huge community of dog lovers who all share the common goal of wanting to raise, train and care for their dogs in a positive, non-violent yet highly effective manner. It's a fantastic community to be involved in.
