Labrador puppy training
A Labrador Retriever puppy comes home at eight weeks, and every training question after that depends on how many weeks old they are. These guides follow the first year month by month, from quiet reassurance and tiny lessons in the first days to teething and class around four months, longer walks at six and jogging at twelve. They cover potty training on a clock rather than a hunch, crate training for a fast-growing dog who is also a people dog, and socialization that teaches calm around people and dogs rather than coaxing a puppy who is already friendly. Done well, the year gives you a food-motivated dog who loves working with you.
