Labrador

Victim of his reputation as an 'easy' dog

The Labrador Retriever is often acquired with the preconceived notion that it will naturally train itself. This is a common mistake that can lead to complicated situations: powerful, energetic and very enthusiastic, he can quickly become unmanageable without a coherent framework established upon his arrival.

The crucial importance of socialization

The lack of mental stimulation generates strong frustration in this breed which is expressed through destruction or hyperactivity. It is essential to offer him regular intellectual challenges (flair games, tracking, learning tricks).

Why does the Labrador top the bite statistics?

It is not through innate aggressiveness, but through human mismanagement. Too often neglected on an educational level or poorly understood in its calming signals towards children, the dog ends up saturating. Teaching your dog to read is the best way to avoid domestic accidents.
