Certainly, his commitment and love will be an integral part of the family for years in the future. But this depends on the Labrador training which you are just now beginning. Here are several guidelines to help you complete such training successfully.

Be consistent in your role as leader of the pack. With no appropriate authority from you, he'll view this as a chance to establish himself as the leader of the pack. Everything you do with regards to training your pooch must follow this rule. Being the leader of the pack is a lifestyle change that'll be fulfilling for your furry pet.

Enforce the commands that you give your pooch. Don't let up until he completes the task you've required him to complete however you have to take into account not to give the command repeatedly. Give the command once and wait until he completes it. If you aren't seriously interested in making him do what you have commanded, then he will learn that he does not need to do it. Follow through is essential to Labrador training. Strengthen desired behavior through rewards. But do not merely depend on treats. You can reinforce these behaviors through positive attention as well. Petting your pooch and talking to him in happy tones can be a good motivation also.
