Training Your Labrador Retriever

We have a 6 month old black lab. She has been a handful to say the least. We have looked at training videos online, gone to a puppy classes, and read several books. This is the best book by far for understanding our baby girl. I would highly suggest this book to any existing or potential lab owner.

This is a valuable training aid for anyone who is a new dog owner. It has many useful tips about effective training of Labs. The techniques in this book helped me raise an obedient and loving pet. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I saw this book at a client's house while there to give their Lab a private lesson. As a clicker trainer, I am usually wary of training books because so many of them give outdated advice. What a wonderful surprise this book turned out to be! It is filled with dead-on, fabulous advice & is written in a clear, easy to read style. It is enhanced by plenty of photos and illustrations, as well. I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of items such as Calming Signals! I highly recommend this book for owners of any breed dog who want to learn to train & communicate with their dog in the most effective and humane way. I plan to buy this book to offer for sale in my dog obedience school.

My husband and I have a registered labrador and this book is plain and simple for the beginning trainer. We can already see results with just a couple of days work.I would recommend it for anyone just needing help with a new dog or an older dog who needs firm discipline.

I am a brand new dog owner, and found this book to have very practical information, and the training information is very easy to follow. I have had my lab for 2 weeks and the training techniques and information on discipline has been very beneficial. I highly recommend this one..
