Topic: Advice, Training And Tips / My lab wont listen..help

I have a 3 yr old Choc Lab and a 2 month old black lab. I can tell you that they are very stubborn headed sometimes but i can also tell you they DO NOT like abusive training or negative reinforcement. I would suggest buying some training treats (no dog is too old to train) labs love to learn all the time. You should use short words like "sit" "Come, (your dogs name) ", lay. Make sure there are no other distractions around. It takes time an patience when training. Work with your dog 15-20 mins a day/1 to 2 commands at a time. Good luck with training. You can add me as a pal if you have any more questions. OH another thing, when calling your dog, you might try squatting down to eye level keeping contact with him/her.
