We think everyone would agree there is nothing like a Labrador Retriever. Although we, at Laurel Knob, breed our dogs for proper temperament, a Lab puppy has boundless energy and by nature is very curious. Your puppy's intelligence and energy should be focused so your puppy can realize it's full potential and become an obedient and important member of your family. We offer in kennel obedience training here at Laurel Knob which includes the commands, sit, down, stay, heel, off and come, plus behavioral corrections, biting, jumping etc. The key to a well balanced obedient companion dog is a calm submissive behavior, this is achieved by establishing yourself as your dogs leader. A dog not only needs exercise but at least a 30 minute controlled walk everyday. An obedient dog should walk beside you, never pull , lag behind or cut in front of you. Your dog should sit automaticly when you stop and not move until you give the next command. Your dog should be capable of doing 30 minute "down stays" without supervision. Your dog should let you pass through doorways first. Your dog should always come when called. Your dog should never jump on you or your friends. "Started Dog" thru "Finished Retriever" gun dog training available to approved Retrievers. |
