subject: Top Tips Regarding Coaching A Labrador Puppy [print this page] You have made the choice to bring a Labrador puppy into your life - good for you! Your next step is to get a few tips for training a Labrador puppy dog so you do not run into issues later.
A couple of things you need 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 work while your new dog pines for you at home. If you're going to have a Labrador in your circle of relatives, then you need to be ready to spend masses 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 highly likely to run into problems, both health wise (getting chunky, which should pitch the frequently seen issue of hip dysplasia) and apropos behavior as a consequence of separation anxiety.
If your Labrador is left without exercise, she is going to get overweight and have all the health issues connected with it. If she is not psychologically stimulated, she will have behavior problems and be difficult to control.
So here are my important tips for successfully training a Labrador puppy:-
1. Spend as much time as practical with your Labrador and use positive beefing up (treats and praise) during training sessions.
2. Exercise your dog at least twice per day, and incorporate training into the exercise times
3. If there are occasions when you won't be home for extended periods, make sure you have someone available who can take her for a run to feed her desire for both companionship and exercise.
Labradors are an exceedingly devoted breed. If you give your dog the attention she rightly merits, then the rewards will be a lot of folds. If you do not have the resources wanted to raise and nurture a Lab, then please think twice before making the decision to bring one into your family. If you have the time spare, then follow these very straightforward tips for training a Labrador puppy dog and you will have a closeness with your dog that lasts for a few years.
