The Labrador Retriever is an excellent family dog that needs an active household. To be fully satisfied he needs lots of exercise and work. Regular walks, romps in a fenced yard, and games of fetch keep his mind and body in shape. If these need are not satisfied , the Labrador Retriever may become a wanderer, digger, or a chewer. A new "Lab" puppy should be leash t and obedience trained. At this point he can also be taught to fetch; his soft mouth and innate desire to retrieve can provide hours of play.

He is exuberant, a trait that can get him into trouble with other dogs and with the neighbors who do not appreciate his antics.
Early training is imperative; if you wait too long, his rambunctious character and strong body will be difficult to manage.
To avoid training problems and grease the skids of your relationship, take your Lab pup to puppy and basic obedience classes a to teach manners, and keep up this good citizen training for the life of the dog.
