Giving Absolute Care For Ideal Human Companions -- Labrador Retrievers

What makes Labrador Retrievers ideal human companions

? Let us count the ways.

Not only are Labs great outdoor companions, given their trademark qualities that include being true sporting dogs with heavyset build (and thick weather-proof coat) and great vigor, but they also possess lots of endearing traits most families desire.

Because they love human company, Labradors can be trusted with kids (though its best not to leave kids unsupervised with any dog, for that matter) and be patient & even protective, and can engage in several hours of play. The natural retrieving skills of the Labrador Retriever makes it very willing to play a seemingly endless game of fetch.

Some Labrador pups may have a stubborn streak, letting their independence surface at times, but they are generally responsive to training. In fact, they tend to be eager in pleasing their masters/handlers. Ideally, its best to train a dog during the puppy stage.

Most dog owners opt for an experienced trainer, especially if theyve gotten their pooches past the puppy training stage and habits have been formed already. In any case, a good first training activity is leash training. Labrador Retrievers that are trained well will more likely exhibit the good-natured traits they are noted for, so persevere in training your pup.

Acknowledge the fact that most pups may dislike the restriction that a leash creates, and may pull on the leash. The trick is to make the leash training fun while making it clear who is the leader, and if you must give treats, choose healthy & natural options. A basic dog training or obedience session that includes common commands may be undertaken prior to beginning a leash training routine.

In terms of grooming, the clean-cut head of a Labrador pup may make it seem like it doesnt require much grooming, but think again. Dont wait until your dogs hair is all matted before brushing it. Regularly brushing your Lab pup will not only stimulate circulation and lead to a shiny & healthy coat but also create bonding. Use a slicker brush to eliminate loose hair, and a flea comb to remove tangles and existing fleas.

The absolute care you can give your Labrador Retriever is not just your time for exercise and play but also good feeding. Shower your Lab puppy with enough attention, ample nutritious foods, water, exercise, and you will be rewarded with a happy and healthy home companion for many years.

Keep in mind that Labrador Retrievers tend to be susceptible to a range of illnesses like joint problems, hip dysplasia, osteoarthritis and diabetes, so make sure they are regularly fed a balanced diet with adequate nutrients, including foods with omega 3 (and protein, carbohydrates, water-soluble and water fat-soluble vitamins for energy and muscle growth). Dont be carried away and overfeed your pup, though. Choosing natural food options for your pet may entail spending a sum of money, but in the long run, it can be cost efficient since you save many trips to the veterinarians clinic.
