Labrador puppy training needs to start just about two weeks after birth.
It can become quite a challenge if you wait till they are older and more set in their ways, to train them properly.
There are a few basic things you need to understand in order to properly train any lab.
You must make sure you communicate properly with your pup.
Too many times people don't understand the proper methods to communicate praise and discipline effectively.
You should use hand signs so they understand what behavior you expect.
When praising a dog, it's always best to pet them.
Hand contact should always be used for praise, never for discipline.
Start Labrador puppy training with the basics.
Try getting him to sit by using verbal cues and hand cues at the same time.
And slowly progress to more advanced training.
Don't let them chew on any type of furniture.
Make sure you have proper chew toys laying around the house, they like to teeth just like an infant would.
A chew toy can help deflect their attention from clothing and furniture.
Reward them with praise when they use it.
These tips can help you start training your pup correctly.
Unruly dog behavior needs to be stopped before it ever begins, especially with Labradors.
They have some great qualities, their good with children and they are extremely loyal.
Some of the time though, improper training can lead to a dog you would rather not be around.
Understand, proper training is essential for a well behaved pet.
You don't want to be the one at the park with a dog everyone stares at and ridicules.
