About the Labrador Retriever
Known for their high-energy and food-obsessed with boundless enthusiasm for everything, Labrador Retrievers have a endless energy and an insatiable desire to be part of everything you do.
Common Labrador Retriever Training Challenges
The most common challenge Labrador Retriever owners face is jumping on people and counter surfing. Other frequent issues include jumping, counter surfing, and destructive chewing.

Picture your Labs knocking over guests at the door, counter-surfing every meal, and turning every walk into a sled-dog race.
The Right Training Approach for Labrador Retrievers
The key to training a Labrador Retriever lies in leveraging their natural treat motivation and eagerness to please that makes them incredibly responsive to the right approach. Work with their instincts, not against them.
Breed-Specific Training Tip
Labs are extremely food-driven, which makes them highly trainable but prone to counter surfing. Use their food motivation as a training advantage, and never leave food unattended on counters during the training period.
Labrador Retrievers have extended puppyhood energy. Expect puppy-like behavior until age 2-3 and plan training accordingly.
The Transformation
Whether your Lab is a hyperactive 12-week-old or an exuberant 3-year-old who never grew out of the puppy phase, the right training approach transforms them. Imagine your big, lovable Lab greeting visitors with a wagging tail but all four paws on the floor, walking beside you on a loose leash even past the neighbor's cat.
