Labrador training needs planning ahead

Labrador training is easy if you have educated yourself on what it needs to train a retriever. It is most effective when you have a regime planned out and follow it regularly until it becomes ingrained as a habit in Labrador.

Labrador training is essential from day one as it helps the retriever realize that it is not higher in the pack and actually the human is its master. Labrador's follow a rule regularly once they are effectively taught as they are very good students.

A preparation of permissible and non-permissible rules, prior to getting a Labrador puppy home, helps a lot in being consistent in Labrador training. Decide upfront the rules and out-of-bounds.

Ascertain the toilet area for the dog; communicate, within the family, the praise words and the prohibit word; think of various training tricks and techniques and plan them for short duration; and most importantly Labrador training involves setting-up a schedule, from dawn to dusk, for the dog that includes all training aspects like toilet, training, food and social habits.

Dog obedience and Socialized dogs are outcomes of good Labrador training

Proper Labrador training leads to dog obedience - a dog that does not crap all around the house, is healthy and well natured, does not bark unnecessarily and most importantly loves to be with family and friends. With Labrador's very distinct temperament, of being a friendly dog makes it a unique breed and therefore Labrador training is easy and fun.

Labrador training gives the best outcomes if they are designed in a manner that they are non violent, short span based trainings, and reward based. Toilet training is achieved by starting from day one; by taking dog to it relieving spot in the morning, after meals, 5 minutes after drinking water and before bedtime.

Labrador training for dog obedience would involve the dog understanding basic instructions and obeying them. Words like yes, no, sit, stand and stop should result in desired response from the Labrador. Labrador training for dog socializing means that it does not bark at everyone at door and also that it does not hate anyone outside the family members.

Essential to a socialized dog is to teach the dog to get along well without barking unnecessarily and also to not jump on people without a reason and out of sheer excitement. More info here!
