Many dog owners want to train and discipline their dogs to perform some simple commands. This not only makes interacting with the dog at home more fun and convenient but also allows showing off in front of friends to boost presence. Among dog breeds, Labradors are known to be very easy to train, especially if training starts from a young age. So, how should Labrador puppies be trained? Please read on for detailed information.

If the owner has just come into contact with a Labrador puppy, then to train it, a good relationship must be established, which is companionship. Let it know that you will be the person who will often accompany it afterward, so it gradually feels close and dependent on you. In the early stage, constant company is necessary, which greatly helps obedience to the owner’s commands later on.

When training a dog, you must have patience, avoid emotional outbursts, never hit or scold, and frequently give encouragement. If it is still a puppy, you can start with some simple command training, for example: training the Labrador puppy to enter its crate by itself. At the beginning, you can only give the puppy some water, and if it wants to eat food, it must obediently enter its crate to have food in its bowl.

This kind of gradual training should be done, but pay attention that once the dog completes the command given by the owner, the owner must provide the promised reward, along with petting or exaggerated reward gestures, so the dog feels inspired by the owner and believes it has done a great job. This will make the dog more enthusiastic for subsequent training.

Also, it’s important not to overtrain just because the training is effective. The dog also needs rest time to feel that training is actually playing with them. When it feels like play, both the dog and trainer can take appropriate breaks, preventing boredom and allowing the dog to enjoy the training.

The above is a simple introduction on how to train Labrador puppies, hoping to be helpful to everyone. The editor wants to remind owners to be patient when interacting with their pets and never hit or scold them, as they also need love and nurturing.
