You’ve made the choice to bring a Labrador puppy into your life - good for you! Your next step is to get some tips for training a Labrador young dog so you do not run into issues later.
A couple of things you want to bear in mind, particularly about this type of dog are:
1. Labradors love people! It’s no good getting a Lab then spending all day at the office while your new dog pines for you at home. If you’re going to have a Labrador in your own family, then you must be prepared to spend lots of time with her.
2. Labradors are an active breed, originally bred to retrieve prey from the shoot. If they don’t spend enough time exercising, then you are very probable to run into issues, both health wise (getting overweight, which may pitch the common problem of hip dysplasia) and in terms of behavior as a consequence of separation anxiety.
If your Labrador is left without physical activity, she will get chubby and have all the health issues connected with it. If she is not psychologically stimulated, she is going to have behavioral issues and be difficult to control.
So here are my top tips for successfully training a Labrador puppy:-
1. Spend as much time as possible with your Labrador and use positive beefing up (treats and praise) during training sessions.
2. Exercise your dog at least two times a day, and incorporate training into the exercise times
3. If there are times when you won’t be home for extended periods, ensure you have somebody available who can take her for a run to feed her desire for both friendship and exercise.
Labradors are a very devoted breed. If you give your dog the awareness she properly deserves, then the rewards will be several folds. If you don’t have the resources needed to raise and nurture a Lab, then please think twice before making the decision to bring one into your folks. If you have the time spare, then follow these very simple tips for training a Labrador pup and you’ll have a closeness with your dog that lasts for many years.
