Nowadays, parents sometimes are often not at home in order to provide a good living environment for their children and entrust them to relatives or friends for upbringing. However, worried that their children might feel lonely, parents usually find a playmate for their kids, such as some pets. They hope the pet can accompany the child in place of themselves. At this time, dogs become a particularly good choice, and the gentle and intelligent Labrador has always been the parents' first choice; it is both adorable and knows how to protect children. But what worries parents more is the playfulness of Labradors, so how long does it generally take for a Labrador to become sensible?

First of all, compared to other dogs, playfulness is an inherent nature of Labradors; their personality is naturally like this. But they will become more sensible and obedient at a certain age; generally, Labradors start becoming sensible between one and two years old. Compared with other dogs, they are still relatively playful, which is their nature. To help a Labrador become sensible and obedient earlier, training should gradually start around seven to eight months to regulate the Labrador’s behavior.

Labradors are a medium to large-sized breed and also a type of hunting dog. Their personality is very gentle, lively, and they have a very high IQ; they are also quite friendly towards humans. Labradors are gentle, intelligent, energetic, very obedient, easy to train due to their high IQ, and will follow their owner’s commands. They are among the most popular dog breeds. However, this type of dog requires a large amount of exercise to grow healthily, so dog owners must make sure to take them out for exercise.

Because of Labradors’ high intelligence, training is relatively easy. Starting training them from an early age will gradually develop good habits. Actually, dogs are not really “not sensible,” but sometimes they are too young to have a clear understanding of many things; they just do not understand. Therefore, this requires patient companionship and guidance from dog owners. Nonetheless, playfulness is indeed a dog’s nature. Whether it’s a Labrador or other dogs, they will be playful, just expressed differently.
