Product Description
The typical Labrador Retriever is relatively easy to train. The author takes readers step-by-step through her method, which emphasizes positive reinforcement. As part of the Training Your Dog Series you will be taught just that; how to train your dog, with special emphasis on your special breed. Virtually every aspect of training is covered, including housebreaking and paper training, basic obedience, teaching the animal to obey both verbal and hand signals, retrieving and walking on a leash. Also covered are humane methods of breaking a dog's bad habits, such as begging, jumping on people, unnecessary barking, and biting. Each book is filled with instructive full-color photos. Other breeds featured in this Series are the German Shepherd and the Rottweiler. Paperback / 176 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 1999

 A must have book for all lab owners October 21, 2008
Megan G. Jones (Richfield, MN)
We have a 6 month old black lab. She has been a handful to say the least. We have looked at training videos online, gone to a puppy classes, and read several books. This is the best book by far for understanding our baby girl. I would highly suggest this book to any existing or potential lab owner.

This book stresses that labs are foodies and will work and learn nicely for good treats. I found Purina One dog biscuits to match its Purina One food line so that my labbie puppy gets nice nutrition while mastering her lessons. I am getting nice training results by following the directions in this book. Do exactly what is outlined and don't let up. I am a first time puppy owner and all is well!
 Pretty good book May 12, 2008
Ranjith Chakravarthi
I liked the way this book communicates. well written.
It actually explains how to train the dog by giving examples and steps.
I tried some items and have seen them to work.
A good amount of the tips I already knew about and follow out of instinct.
So it is not totally impressive but surely it puts thoughts in a structured context and refreshes old concepts.
Training is not only about when to sit and when to fetch, it is about being able to communicate with your poochie friend. If you cannot communicate, then, you cant train (not predictable results for sure) the poochie.
This book gets to the basics of what actually is being communicated by each (a lot if not all) of general behaviours we go through with our Labs.
All in All, a really good Beginer's book to training.
cheers
