Over the years of owning labradors we have found a hand full of books that helped us train and understand labradors. Its important to be prepared for your new puppy and to start training as soon as she comes home.
First Book : Family Dog by Richard A. Wolters
"Widely recognized as one of the great dog trainers of his time, Richard Wolters's tested techniques continue to endure. Family Dog was the first book written for any member of the family, from age six to sixty, who wants to train a dog fast. By following the book's simple instructions, anyone can have a well-trained dog in just sixteen weeks."
He also has 3 other great retriever field training books - Gun Dog, Water Dog, and Game Dog.
Second Book: Barron's Dog Bible Labrador Retriever by Joan Hustace Walker
This book covers orgins of the Lab, the World according to Labradors, Caring for a Lab, Living with a Labrador, Health and Nutrition, Grooming, and the Senior Labrador retriever.
"There is no question why the Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed in the world. Much of the breed's popularity has to do with his ability to excel in so many sports, activities, and service work, as well his capacity to adapt to so many different lifestyles. The Labrador is a willing, eager learner with a great nose, intense focus, and a big, friendly temperament that makes him not only fun to train but also a joyful companion."
