If you can work on training your Labrador retriever twice a day with 15 minute sessions each time, you will be able to train your Labrador retriever by yourself. It is also a good idea to have family members involved so they can see exactly what you are doing and how it is being done.
Setting the Environment
Setting the right environment for you and your Labrador retriever are very important. The environment should be in an area were there are no distractions. Some places were it is nice and quite. You want your training time to be the main focus of attention. Make all your training lessons enjoyable for you and your Labrador retriever puppy. End all your sessions on a good note. Give them a lot of praise each time they are doing well. Should things start going wrong and they will at times: stop everything and start over the next session. You must also be in the right frame of mind; your puppy will pick up on your mood if you are in a bad one at the time.
Consistence
Be consistent with your training sessions. Training a Labrador retriever is all about repetition, this is how a Labrador retriever puppy learns. Sometimes the training can seem to be boring to you but it is very important to your puppy. This is also the time when you develop a bond between you and your Labrador retriever. Be sure he understands what he is being taught before you move on to the next part of the training step. When you begin to move on to different commands always go back to the commands you have taught and continue to use them in training lessons.
Heel-Sit-Stay-Come
The four basic and most important commands to teach your new puppy. When they respond to their name (and they should with in a couple of days) it is time to start their kindergarten training. When you start your basic training it is important to due them in sequence and do not move to the next command until you are comfortable they understand the command you are teaching. All these commands we will be going over in our future blog posts one at a time.
Puppy Play Time
Always leave time to play with your new pup. I use this time to teach him to retrieve. Labrador retrievers where born to retrieve and they love the water. So it would stand to reason to teach them to retrieve the way you would like them to. There is nothing I enjoy more then taking one of our labs to a pond and throwing a dummy in the water and watching them swim and retrieve. The hunting club I belong to is the best, that is where our labs get to show off their stuff and there are a few of them that are real show off’s. I like to start things off with a sock knotted up, get your puppy interested and start tossing it around. Just toss the sock a few feet and when your pup runs and grabs it, you grab him and pull him back to you. Say to him “give” and take the sock away from him. If you do this 5 to 10 times each session they eventually will just automatically start to run it back to you. Slowly increase the distance of your tosses and as soon as he picks it up start clapping your hands and calling him back to you. As they get older I switch over to rubber bumpers and keep increasing the distances of tosses. Once they have the idea down of returning the bumper to you start making them sit at your side and hold your puppy in place and toss the rubber bumper. Keep telling them to stay and then let them retrieve, it will not belong before they will stay with out you holding them. I have my wife, Arlene take a rubber bumper and go as much as 50 yards away from me and the puppy, my wife then throws the rubber bumper and our puppy doesn’t retrieve until he is sent. He then returns it to me. I want him to get the idea that it is my rubber bumper and he is to make sure that I am the one that gets it back. This type of training is what leads up to duck hunting. I know that many people never will hunt their labs but it is a good idea that they make sure you have all of your rubber bumpers returned to you. Don’t think that play time has to be all retrieving; it can be what ever you want to make it, just remember most importantly make it fun and enjoyable. Your Labrador retriever will look forward to his and your playtime.
Sharp website. Wondering if you ever trade featured articles? I am running a page on my current obsession akita dogs and looking to trade some content with worthy pages. I looked around your blog and you’ve put up some good articles and I was thinking our visitors would both find value. Thanks!
admirable piece of writing. Thiking to translating your writing into Italian for our readers. Will let you know after I speak to our writers. thx.
You have made valid points in your post and I agree with you!
I like the layout of your website. Check out the graphics on my site at http://www.publicdomainpayday.com
I had fun reading this post. I want to see more on this subject.. Gives Thanks for writing this nice article.. Anyway, I’m going to subscribe to your rss and I wish you write great articles again soon.
Good points…I would note that as someone who really doesn’t comment to blogs much (in fact, this may be my first post), I don’t think the term “lurker” is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s not your fault at all, but perhaps the blogosphere could come up with a better, non-creepy name for the 90% of us that enjoy reading the posts.
hi there great little blog ya got right here
I employ the same theme on mine yet somehow for whatever silly reason it appears to stream easier on yours although yours includes a good deal more multimedia. Have you been working with any kind of plugins or widgets which will quicken it up? Do you think you could share the programs so maybe I would be able to use these on my internet sites so twilight new moon followers could watch twilight breaking dawn online trailers and films easier I’d always be grateful – regards in advance 
That was stimulating . I like your finesse that you put into your post . Please do move forward with more similar to this.
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
Howdy, your webpage is promoted in a radio show! Nice job mate. Your articles are really good and added in bookmarks. CYa
I love puppies. I just got one particular a week ago and it has not been trained yet and has bitten me a handful of times but its absolutely nothing to be concerned about, i can train it properly. I hope
Actually, I often see/read/hear things that I agree with you. Perfect Post.
Thank you for your article.Much thanks again. Awesome.
I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It¡¯s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
While we are talking about the issue of Labrador Retriever Kindergarten Training Sunsets Labrador Retriever Training, The world wide web is a great learning resource and it shouldn’t be disregarded as a beneficial tool for homeschooling. With its comfort of use, and flexibility, there is room for online resources in any education plan.
