Approach to training

The training of a Labrador Retriever is not very complicated. The curious four-legged friend has an enormous desire to make people happy. So even though the Labrador Retriever is used as a hunting dog, his sweet character makes him unsuitable as a guard dog, for example; he is friendly to strangers and can easily be distracted. At the same time he can also be stubborn and turbulent. All the more reason to give enough attention to the upbringing of your Labrador Retriever, and thus to ensure a good relationship with your dog.

Dog sports

The Labrador Retriever is very suitable for hunting sports. It is very active and mobile so it is excellent for hunting. Also, sports such as doggy diving can be practiced with a Labrador because of his enthusiasm for water.
