The Command

The command “NO” is the first command your Labrador retriever puppy should learn. Usually your puppy will understand this command by the end of the first day with you. Your puppy will hear this command every time it is doing something wrong. Your puppy comprehends the command by the way you say it. The tone of your voice tells your puppy that they are in trouble. “NO” means stop what you are doing immediately. Say “NO” in a sharp loud voice. In the beginning the command “NO” will be the most used command by you. When your puppy responds always follow the “NO” command by another command that will make you happy. When you are happy your puppy will sense this. When your puppy responds to the next command give them praise. By doing this they will realize that the command “NO” is a dreaded word that they do not like to hear. With “Chisum” when I command “NO” the next command I give him is “SIT”. He does this command very well. When you discover the command your new puppy does well that is the command you should give immediately following the “NO” command.
