I am wanting to train my beautiful chocolate Lab puppy young to obey basic commands and avert annoying behaviors i.e. jumping, nipping, clawing, etc. I have seen numerous advertisements guaranteed to work (at a steep price), but want to get the underground opinion before deciding! Thanks for the input!

Look up Cesar Milan the Dog Whisperer; his way is soooooooooooooo natural. It’s about training us humans to understand our canines. We are working with the system and it is amazing how quickly you can get results however, we must point out that you must be consistent and that if there is anyone else involved they must also learn.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I have a lab/collie mix. Labs are smart dogs and kind of easy to train. For sit…..push your dog’s **** down and repeat saying sit. If the dog doesn’t say no and keep repeating the command. It took my dog a week and a half to get a few commands. I got my dog at 12 weeks as well. When your dog jumps on you…say no and sit. Nipping you grab the dogs mouth and say no and keep repeating it. It will take 3-4 weeks for you to train the dog. If you work and you stay with relatives have them repeat the commands with dog as well. Hope I helped.

Take him to obedience classes. Labs are very trainable, but you need a professional to guide you, especially if this is the first time you’ve trained a dog. It takes a great deal of time and consistency which is much easier to do if you are in classes.
