Great for Companion Pet Training,
By "kjtallant" (Cumming, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Training Your Labrador Retriever (Paperback)
This is an excellent place to start training your Lab. The author will take you through everything from house-breaking to basic commands (sit, stay, down, come) and even some tricks. The author takes advantage of the incredibly high food drive of Labs, and uses that to teach them things without negative reinforcement. This book will help you do a good job of what it is designed to accomplish -- train a pet.However, you need to know what you're buying. If you want a lot of information on the history of the breed, I recommend trying another book such as Labrador Retreiver: The Dog That Does It All. On the other hand, if you will be field training your pooch, then I recommend a couple of "oldies but goodies," such as Gun Dog or Water Dog, by Richard Wolters. Either way -- get the books before you get the dog -- and read them.

Perfect For The New Trainer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Training Your Labrador Retriever (Paperback)
My husband and I have a registered labrador and this book is plain and simple for the beginning trainer. We can already see results with just a couple of days work.I would recommend it for anyone just needing help with a new dog or an older dog who needs firm discipline.

I am a brand new dog owner, and found this book to have very practical information, and the training information is very easy to follow. I have had my lab for 2 weeks and the training techniques and information on discipline has been very beneficial. I highly recommend this one..
