If you happen to own a new Labrador puppy, don’t think that Labrador training is impossible. Labradors possess the characteristics ideal for training, the intelligence and energy. They are even considered as one of the most obedient breeds when it comes to training.
Even though they are known as intelligent dogs, Labradors are not born nicely trained dogs nor become one on their own. In order for you to achieve success in Labrador training, you should be well-aware of some useful training techniques.
It was clear from the start with Poppy that it was going to be a hard task training a labrador. I took her to the common puppy classes like everyone else with a puppy, but it soon became apparent that Poppy had ulterior motives for going to the classes – biscuits! She would run around saying hello to all the other dogs and not paying the slightest bit of attention to me of what she was supposed to be doing. She would keep her nose firmly on the floor clearing up all the biscuit crumbs that had been dropped.
I was evident that puppy classes were not the way to go.
At the end of my tether after 6 months of training thinking I should have a beautifully trained and obedient Labrador, I started to search around on the internet for Labrador training techniques. I tried lots of different techniques, some of which worked and some didn’t. I’m going to be telling you about the ones that did work on this blog.
Poppy is now a delight. She is very obedient with an excellent temperament.
