Hello! You are on my channel, thank you for reading it! Every positive comment will warm my heart. The article is subjective and expresses the personal opinion of the author.
Very often you have to come across the opinion that Labradors are smart, obedient dogs and they do not need training. And God forbid to punish him. And at this time, the Labrador, like any large dog, will create problems if the norms of behavior are not explained to her.
If the puppy is allowed everything, and there are no prohibitions before him, then having matured, he will become a boob, a kind of idiot, looking sadly in the eyes, and doing dirty tricks at the same time, with full confidence that he is doing the right thing. Problems with labs can occur, due to over friendliness.
From the first months of life, the dog must obey implicitly. Autonomy and disobedience must not be allowed. A puppy should not be allowed to do what an adult dog would not be allowed to do.
Training Labradors is not the most difficult process, and progress will be visible soon, but on the condition that the dog is aware of who is in charge and who needs to be obeyed.
Naturally, not every animal likes obedience. In some difficult cases, the best way out is to turn to experienced trainers.
These dogs often ignore the owners. When trying to control a dog, without its desire, it completely refuses to do anything. For this reason, training Labradors can cost the nerves of both the owner and the dog. Sometimes a dog can even snap back. But do not despair. Everything can be corrected.
Do not forget that Labradors are quite smart, but this is not always in the hands of the owner. If it is possible to ignore the command, he will do it. If it became uninteresting, then the Labrador will simply pretend to be a fool. Indeed, the very basics of obedience are boring for the dog and uninteresting, but they are very important because they teach obedience.
There is no need to teach a dog everything at once. Teams must be the same, constant and demanding. First, you need to interest a yummy one, then connect coercion. After all, having eaten a treat, the dog can be distracted and begin to go about his own business. Coercion, with the commands "lie", "sit" or "next to" is a physical impact on the dog.
At that moment when the dog refused to execute the command, whether he looks with devotion and wags his tail, or stares distantly into the distance, you need to force him by physical action. The dog must understand why it gets a tasty treat and what the impact is for.
Do not be afraid to break contact with the Labrador. Only when he realizes that when executing commands he deserves praise, fulfillment of commands will become the meaning of life. Another nuance will be the understanding and acceptance of the success of a pet, albeit small. If the dog feels that he is satisfied, he will do anything, if only he would be praised again.
Do not stop, with seemingly progress, the Labrador will try to redirect you all his life ..
