Product Description

The typical Labrador Retriever is relatively easy to train. The author takes readers step-by-step through her method, which emphasizes positive reinforcement.

As part of the Training Your Dog Series you will be taught just that; how to train your dog, with special emphasis on your special breed. Virtually every aspect of training is covered, including housebreaking and paper training, basic obedience, teaching the animal to obey both verbal and hand signals, retrieving and walking on a leash.

Also covered are humane methods of breaking a dog's bad habits, such as begging, jumping on people, unnecessary barking, and biting. Each book is filled with instructive full-color photos.

Other breeds featured in this Series are the German Shepherd and the Rottweiler.

Excellant Primer for Understanding Your Lab
 
Review Date: February 11, 2010
Reviewer: Alex Sova, South Texas
The book is an excellant primer for understanding your new lab. It highlights important do's and don'ts in beginning training your new puppy. It certainly makes the adjustment more easier for both owner and lab. In short, a smoother transition into the new home is a positive move for a new relationship.
Good book for broad overview

Reviewer: MatteyMoo, USA
Book does a good job of presenting full range of topics on Labs. If you are looking for specifics on training try "Family Dog". Otherwise enjoy, information seems current and is presented well.
Short, Simple, and it Really Works!

Reviewer: G. Fowler, Nottingham, MD United States
I read this book cover-to-cover before I got my first lab pup (8 weeks old) and used it religiously to train him. It was very intuitive and easy to read/understand, and it really worked. People are always commenting on how well-behaved and obedient my dog ("Hendrix") is. I have lent this book to at least four other dog owners, and they have all reported similar successes.

Using this book as a base point, and providing consistent training and attention, you should find it will leave you with the best companion you can ask for.
A must have book for all lab owners

We have a 6 month old black lab. She has been a handful to say the least. We have looked at training videos online, gone to a puppy classes, and read several books. This is the best book by far for understanding our baby girl. I would highly suggest this book to any existing or potential lab owner.
Smart puppy

This book stresses that labs are foodies and will work and learn nicely for good treats. I found Purina One dog biscuits to match its Purina One food line so that my labbie puppy gets nice nutrition while mastering her lessons. I am getting nice training results by following the directions in this book. Do exactly what is outlined and don't let up. I am a first time puppy owner and all is well!
