You’ve beaten your dog into submission and broken his spirit. He’s not a coward, he is terrified of humans because of your abuse. This dog will never trust you, he has no reason to trust.

Rehome him to someone with dog experience who can rehabilitate him and get the best out of him….if he ever does learn to trust a human again.

Traste defends the house against and ugly Ninja that tries to break in. This is a “home made short film” that I made yesterday with the help of Traste, a year and a half Labrador and the best and cutest dog in the world.

http://www.sitmeanssit.com These are some little drills that you can do to make your dog comfortable in running through different types of terrain without having to go out to the field every day.

Sometimes you may have a young dog and you may want to practice stuff like this in a nearby parking lot, schoolyard, or just about anywhere even if you live in the city.

The more things your dog becomes comfortable in running through, the more confident he will be. It’s one less thing that he has to think about because he will be used to this type of stuff by the time he needs to run through it if he becomes a field dog, and even if he only has to compete on grass and never sees this in a trial, he will still be better. The dog in this video is a 1 year old Black Labrador Retriever that will run hunt tests as he gets older.

i am having a 6 weeks labrador puppy….can u plz advise me how to properly feed and train my labrador dog(puppy)…….plz suggest….

I just got one But please wait untill the puppy is 8 weeks to take him home… he needs to be with his mother until 8 weeks and i thinks in some places (in the US) its against the law to get one before then… but yeah.. i have one, mine is pretty good actually… feed him a high quality puppy food for large breed dogs (im feeding Eukanuba large breed puppy food) – some say its not good food – but my vet said its great stuff and recommends it feed him 3 times a day according to the directions for amounts on the back of the pack… also he will need plenty water so make it readily available… he will need to relieve himself every hour or so, so take him outside and say "make a wee" or something… and if he does it inside, dont hit him, or get angry, or rub his nose in it.. just clean it up with something to mask the smell… after a week my puppy now waits until i take him outside to go also, make him sit before you give him food sohe knows its your food and is calm when you give it to him… buy LOTS of chew toys – labs love to chew and if he chews something he shouldnt say a loud NO! and shove a chew toy in his mouth – then praise him for taking it… also praise him when he goes to wee outside ect… (whenever he does something right) also get all his vaccinations and a check up at the vet and PLEASE dont take him until he is at least 8 weeks old good luck.

I have a 2+1/2 year old purebred Black Labrador Female.
She has been an alfa-female since birth… And through much time and training, I have been able to train her as far as, walking off a leash, ‘Heel’, ‘Sit’, Stay’, No Bark, Rooll Over, Fetch, Jump, Stand, Ect..
But, As soon as there are other people around, she refuses to listen! She is extremely smart, and KNOWS that I will not punish her in public… are there any training techniques that I could use everyday when were alone to make her Respect me more?
All Comments Welcome,
But please Tell WHERE you got your information..
for example: (personal experience, website, book, ect…)
I am currently working on more training, but I know from 13 years of experience training dogs, that this is not an obedience problem, THIS is a respect problem, She is a smart dog, and and an alfa-female.
I have also noticed a lack of respect in other areas.
I am not looking for comments on what I am doing wrong, I am looking for suggestions on how to earn a dogs respect.

As others have said, she is only partially trained.
Try going to an obedience class. There will be other dogs and people there and you can work on training her commands while others are around as well as get reinforcement from a professional trainer.
That should do it, but remember to keep reinforcing things regularly so she doesn’t slack off.
