How to train Labrador puppies
Labradors are loved by families for their intelligence, docility and lively personality, but training as a puppy is the key to developing good behavior. The following is a systematic training guide for Labrador puppies, compiled based on the popular pet raising topics on the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Basic training schedule
| training items | Best start time | Daily practice time |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed-point defecation | 8 weeks old | 5-10 minutes × 4 times |
| name response | 10 weeks old | 3 minutes × 3 times |
| Simple commands (sit, wait) | 12 weeks old | 5 minutes × 2 times |
2. Core training methods
1.Socialization training:Recently, pet bloggers have generally emphasized that 3-6 months of age is the golden period of socialization, and puppies need to be exposed to different environments (such as parks, elevators) and people (wearing collars, children).
2.Tips to stop hand biting:The popular video recommends the "squeal + toy replacement method". When the puppy bites the hand, it immediately makes a high-frequency bark and at the same time offers a molar toy.
3.Advanced command training:Popular Douyin tutorials show that using the "sandwich training method" has the best results:
| Step 1 | Gesture guidance (e.g. palm down) |
| Step 2 | Verbal command + "Sit" |
| Step 3 | Reward snacks immediately after success |
3. Diet management related training
Recently, pet nutritionists have suggested adjusting the feeding plan in conjunction with training:
| training phase | Recommended snacks | Calorie ratio |
|---|---|---|
| basic instructions | Chicken breast jerky | ≤10% |
| behavior modification | Freeze-dried carrots | ≤5% |
4. Solutions to common problems
1.Separation anxiety:The "progressive desensitization method" hotly discussed on Weibo: starting from a short period of 5 minutes, gradually extending to 4 hours, and using toys to distract food leakage.
2.Barking at night:Xiaohongshu Master recommends the "three-step silent method":
| first step | Stop drinking water 2 hours before going to bed |
| Step 2 | Arrange old clothes that smell like their owners |
| Step 3 | Use a white noise machine |
5. Recently popular auxiliary tools
| Tool type | E-commerce platform hot search index | average price |
|---|---|---|
| Smart dog training device | Taobao search volume +320% | 150-400 yuan |
| sniffing pad | JD.com’s positive rating is 98% | 60-120 yuan |
Things to note:Veterinarians recently reminded that when training, avoid: ① strenuous training within 1 hour after meals ② using human snacks as rewards ③ single training for more than 15 minutes. It is recommended to combine genetic testing (the popularity of pet genetic testing has increased by 47% recently) to understand the characteristics of the dog.
Through scientific and systematic training, Labrador puppies can usually master basic norms in 6-8 months. Remember to be patient during the training process. As the recent viral cute pet video says: "Every dog stumbles and grows up. What they need is not a perfect owner, but a constant companionship."
