(Posted by: Bobby on 2010-03-05 09:14:23)

Hey Guys, I have decided to buy a dog and have already chosen that it is going to be labrador. However one of my buddies told me that I really need to learn some dummie things about dogs before I buy my black lab. I saw a book on amazon but I want something with no shipping time so I can buy my dog as fast as possible, you guys know any resources online or any online books?

Go to your local library. They will have tons of puppy/ dog training books which you can rent for FREE. I borrowed a lot of books before bringing home my terrier mix from the shelter and it's helped alot.. Plus its free.

Why don't you check your local Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.? They usually have a pretty good sized pet care section, and whenever I go mine usually has at least two or three different dog training books. Most PetCo and PetsMart stores have a rack of dog breed and training books as well. They're not hard to find.

When my oldest son was 10 i gave him his 1st catahoula, we use them for herding horses...that dog ended up so well trained, you could have a dozen horses out, if you called one by name, the dog would cut that horse out of the field and bring him back to the barn...the boys secret??? he would sit with the dog for hours with a block of cheddar cheese and a pocket knife...every time the dog did something right, he'd cut off a piece of cheese and give it to the dog...every time the dog did something wrong, he'd punch it in the head...the dog like the cheese more than she liked getting punched in the head....

Labradors are good dogs, i'll give you some tips. Walk your dog twice a day. When your eating your food don't give the dog any or he will learn to beg. When saying the command NO, make sure you ignore him after or he wont take the command serious. When you have your food prepared for him, make him wait a while, then when you tell him to eat he can eat, this asserts your dominance. Mate it's just a matter of exercising,loving, and training, click on the link below on how to teach the dog commands with treats, click on the link below it will benefit you loads, and good luck with your dog.
