Do Labradors need training?
Yes. Labradors are sporting dogs which can track, point, and (especially) retrieve game; they also function as seeing-eye dogs, as companion and therapy dogs, in military and police work, in assisting the handicapped, and in disaster rescue work. They also make excellent pets enjoying the company of adults and children alike and making active family participants. Healthy, active families will keep family members and their dogs well behaved, active, and fit. Puppies must be taught to obey rules, to come, sit, lie, stay, and walk beside family members. They need to be restrained from chewing family possessions.
