1. Before training a Labrador Retriever, there are some basic points you should know.

1. Before training, establish a good relationship with the Labrador Retriever and let it trust you, and listen to you.

2. Give your Labrador Retriever a loud and nice name and make it remember it.

3. All training commands must be clear and fixed, and not frequently changed, at the same time, all family members must be unified on all commands, otherwise the dog will not understand our meaning.

4. When training a Labrador Retriever, be patient and repeat training, although it is a very intelligent dog, it usually takes it a few times to master, but remember to cultivate habits, and repeated training is necessary.

5. When training a Labrador Retriever, never use corporal punishment, and do not hit it because it cannot do it or do it wrong, as this will trigger negative emotions in the dog, which will make it not cooperate with you and become worse.

6. Timely rewards and encouragement are essential. Whenever a Labrador Retriever completes a training task or performs exceptionally well, it should be given a reward, or food, or praise, or petting its body.

Note:

Training should be done before the dog eats. Do not train the dog after it is full, firstly it is not good for the dog's body, secondly the dog will not have the motivation to train when it is full.
