Labrador Retriever are very popular among families because of their sweet nature. Labrador Retrievers are rarely aggressive and are usually friendly with all people, pets, and children. Its important that you keep your Labrador Retriever busy, so they don’t become bored. Dogs without responsibilities are hard to keep from becoming destructive while their owners are out of the house.
The best way to keep your Labrador Retriever is to keep them active. Its essential that you take them on daily walks. Labrador Retrievers with exceptionally high energy levels may require you to play with them for an hour or so a day in addition to their daily walks.
A Labrador Retriever wants nothing but to please their owners. Its important that you give your Labrador Retriever a lot of attention especially when they are well behaved. This will avoid the need to get attention by being destructive.
Provide your Labrador Retriever with plenty of chew toys and bones to keep them occupied during the day when you can’t give them attention. Spray your furniture with a bitter apple spray to ensure they aren’t chewing or scratching up your furniture instead of their toys.
The clicker dog training method is especially effective for training Labrador Retrievers. The clicker training method requires the owner to reinforce every good action with a click and treat to reinforce good behavior. Your Lab will quickly learn that good behavior will result in him/her getting a treat. As time progresses you can slowly phase out the treats, and your Labrador Retriever will respond solely to the clicker. Once a Lab learns to respond only to the clicker it makes future commands even easier to train.
Labrador Retrievers are a very easy breed to train, and its unlikely that your Lab will give you any problems or resistance to training. This still doesn’t change the fact that Labrador Retrievers should be taken through the same training that other dogs would be taken through.
