Training Methods For A Labrador Retriever
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Training methods for your labrador retriever should be based on the fact that Labs are renowned as an intelligent breed who are eager to please. Labradorsare quite rightly renowned to be a very trainable breed, right from being puppies to adulthood. It is very important that training begins as early as possible. In embarking on a training programme it is important to realise that these dogs grow into powerful, excitable adults, and can take a long time, up to two years to mentally mature (if they ever do!). So, when first embarking on a Labrador training programme, it is important to begin with some basic obedience and to help the puppy to learn to socialise with both people and animals.
