Labrador Puppy Training
There is not much that can be more annoying than a destructive or an aggressive puppy. When puppies are like this, especially Labs, the issue has to be taken care of immediately if it is going to be successful. If this situation isn’t handled immediately you will have lost control and your Lab will be the one in charge. Even if you’re Lab displays some aggression it is important for you to know that you can change his behavior and make him know who the boss really is. If you are not sure what types of behaviors that aggressive Labs show then here is a list of what you should look for:
• Managing behaviour (at all ages, with more specific info for puppies), barking, whining, house-training, play-biting, chewing, orbiting
• Does your Lab growl when he feels like his food is going to be taken away or when a human approaches his dish?
• Does your Lab nip at you or others?
• Does your Lab raise his tail in certain situations that do not warrant him being defensive?
• Does your Lab show his teeth around people?
• Does your Lab hide his toys and show signs of aggression when anyone touches or gets near the toys?
• Does your Lab curl his lip?
Sometimes people get puppies that are difficult to train but this is when the owner has to act and provide sufficient training so that the Lab grows up to be a healthy, happy, and lovable dog. Labs are very intelligent which is likely why they have been used throughout the years and the world as a service dog assisting law enforcement officials and for search and rescue missions.
Labs are simply trained, tolerant and temperate with children, dedicated, self-assured, lovable and willing to please in most cases. Labrador Retrievers take pleasure in gratifying their masters which makes training all the easier. By nature, the Lab doesn’t have any guarding instincts.
There are things that some people do not know about training their Lab puppy. When a Lab is trained correctly it will place you in control and everyone will be a lot happier. No dog is born with the capability of knowing right from wrong so it is up to the owner to teach him. Waiting until the dog is older to train it is a very bad and often unchangeable idea.
Some facts that will make training your Lab easier is to remember that you must be consistent with your training and special instructions, the more often that you work with your puppy the more respect you will see, and always correct their behavior immediately.
