I have lived with labs my entire life and they are absolutely wonderful dogs. They are big puppies forever it seems like, but very easily trainable. My dad hunts ducks and has his trained for retrieving. They are so well behaved you wouldn't imagine, and very smart. He uses a clicker and choke collar to train his, and it usually only takes a couple of months before they are putty in his hands! He's training my niece's black lab right now. If you have any questions or need pointers on how to train a lab, I have been doing it for a while. Just let me know! Good luck! |
