A revolutionary new look into everything “Labrador”; a MUST-READ that includes practical tips, tricks, and insights to help a new (or seasoned) Labrador Retriever owner.

Using interviews with 7 top Labrador Retriever breeders, author Dr. Joanna de Klerk (former star of the hit BBC show "Young Vets") has created an in-depth look at what it REALLY takes to successfully live with, raise, and train a Labrador Retriever.

Covering all the Labrador-specific topics you NEED TO KNOW, such as:

The unique characteristics and quirks of the Labrador Retriever breed
Early training (including housebreaking) strategies for Labrador Retrievers
Choosing the proper supplies and food for a Labrador puppy
Helpful strategies for socializing a Labrador Retriever with other dogs
Health care advice for each stage of your Labrador Retrievers life
Grooming tips that a Labrador owner needs to know!

If you are considering bringing a Labrador Retriever into your home (or already have!) then you need to read this book as soon as possible!

The Labrador is a good fit for either novice or veteran pet parents, but their exuberance and athleticism may be too much for some individuals. This guide will give you all the information you need not only to decide if a Labrador Retriever is the right fit for your household, but also to guide you to the right individual dog, and how to train it to be a well mannered canine citizen. In these pages, you will discover the answers to such crucial questions as:

Is a Labrador Retriever the right dog for me?
How do I choose the right Labrador for my needs?
How do I prepare my home for an active, athletic Lab?
What training methods are most effective for Labrador Retrievers?

As of 2021, the Labrador Retriever breed has topped the American Kennel Club’s Popular Dog Breeds list for 20 years running, and for good reason. This athletic breed is almost universally outgoing, eager to try new things, and equipped with a strong desire to please people. This is a breed of dog that can adapt to any situation; Labrador Retrievers have become military heroes, field trial champions, famous movie stars, and more.

This book delves into nearly every aspect of the Labrador Retriever breed, including:

The history of the Labrador Retriever
How to select a good breeder
Choosing your Lab from a rescue or shelter
Lab-proofing your home
Training do’s and don’ts for the Labrador
What to expect the first few days home
Housetraining your Labrador Retriever
