Obedience Dog Training and Locations

We have all enjoyed our friend's well-trained Lab or thought wow, their Lab is out of control.  In both cases, training or lack of played a big part in whether we wanted to be around that Lab for any length of time. Lab owners must provide consistent structured training in order to have a Lab they can live with and be a part of the family. Going to obedience school is a MUST no matter how old your Lab is.  The best way to teach YOU and YOUR LAB the skills needed to co-exist happily is to find a good recommended obedience school in your area. Even the most seasoned Lab owners go to obedience school when they get a new Lab in their home as they know the guidance, support and socialization they receive at obedience school is their best investment.

LRR, Inc. does not get into their adoption program two year old obedience trained yellow females.  The great majority of our Labs are 2-6 year old untrained, (black, yellow, chocolate) males and females with an excellent Lab temperament. They are kind, loving and eager to please, however no one has provided much training or socialization along the way.  Our adopting families are special in that they understand these needs and are eager and capable of giving a Rescue Lab the chance to grow into a fine family member. Training is an investment for a good future together.

The Association of Pet Dog trainers (APDT) will provide a listing to you in zip code order to assist in finding a trainer in your area. The Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) or Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc. neither endorses nor recommends any of the trainers listed. It is the responsibility of the Lab owner to interview and research the trainers. Ask your vet's office or fellow dog owners where they would recommend, you will usually start to hear the same trainers being recommended.

Obedience training will help bond you and your Lab.
