Learn How to Get Positive Labrador Training Outcome

Appropriate labrador training is one sure method
to make this breed a perfect man's best friend.
With that friendly and highly adaptable
temperament, for sure pet owners and their
families would like to have this intelligent
four-legged creature as pet. But dogs can't
figure out commands by themselves. Regardless of
how intelligent, obedient or even tempered the
breed is, proper training is highly encouraged
to teach them how to behave in ways acceptable
by their human companions.

Training isn't a one-time session neither a
one-week activity. It's actually a long-term
process to make certain he learn what he's
supposed to learn at the same time corrected
should he made a mistake. To attain the effects
you desire, here are a few points that will help
you understand labrador training better:

Develop good communication with your dog.

Inability to understand your pet can be as
frustrating as inability to make your pet
understand you. You are less likely to progress
on training if the two of you cannot understand
each other. It is therefore important to
establish good communication at the earliest
opportunity. Since dog's can't talk just like
humans do, one way to communicate with them is
to understand their body language. Wagging of
tail, intent stare, barking or curled lips mean
something and when misunderstood will certainly
affect the training as well as your pet's
behavior. Good communication also enables you to
gain your pet's trust and respect. And when that
happens, making your dog obey your commands is
surely an easy job to accomplish.

Provide short but high quality training
sessions.

Lengthy labrador training does not mean that a
dog gets to learn many lessons and tricks. In
fact, it can do more harm than good taking into
consideration a dog's short attention span. To
keep your pet's focus, training ought to be fun,
exciting and short. It should not last more than
20 minutes since anything longer than that can
be boring even to a dog breed with gentle
temperament such as the Labrador. Moreover, you
also need to make sure that your pet is
physically fit and mentally prepared for
training. Bear in mind that a sick or nervous
dog will not learn efficiently so it is better
to put off the training for the meantime.
Training sessions must also end on a positive
note.

Be consistent with training.

Dogs as intelligent as the Labrador can notice
and easily get confused when training
inconsistencies occur. For example, you used
happy and excited tone of voice when you taught
him the come command. Nevertheless, he may
consider it a totally different command when you
say the said command using an angry or annoyed
tone. In other words, you need to have regular
Labrador training pattern. Once you have
determined what strategy works best for your
pet, be consistent in using it. It is also
important for family members and anyone who has
direct contact with your Lab to be aware and be
consistent with the rules.
