Seems like a lot of folks are looking for a good family dog.  There a number of reasons why a labrador retriever is the excellent choise.  The first is that these dogs are very social animals.  They become part of the family in every sense of the word.  They want to be with the family all the time, but are willing to wait for your return if they can’t come with you.  I love the ease with which these dogs can be trained.  From potty training to high end hunting skills, these dogs can learn it all with the proper handling that their owners can give with love.  If you must admolish these guys, never use your hand or foot.  A roll of newspaper slapped on your hand will be enough in most cases to make them aware that they have made an error and they will do anything to make you happy.  Their love is unconditional.  It is always best to train these guys one on one with as little other stimulation present as possible.  Trying to train your pup around other dogs is not going to work.  Try to get them alone and  paying attention before the training comences.  And lastly,  have fun.  You can learn a lot from your pup and what makes him or her tick…   Remember, you are training the dog, not vis-versa.  Enjoy.
