Having
a pet so active and large as a Labrador Retriever is a great responsibility,
implying commitments such as “education” or training.
The training o our dog allows us to establish the place of the animal
in the family, and furthermore, we ensure a happy and successful owner-pet
relationship. With training, the dog will understand what its human
mates expect from it, and it will be easier to adapt to most environments
where it develops.Training must be “progressive, systematic
and positive”, which can be translated into a classical methodology
of stimulus- response- feedback.
Stimulus should always be positive, feedback is applied with a reinforcement
and with the time and intensity appropriate for this breed. In case
of applying an affirmative reinforcement, this will be done with affection.
A toy or food are the best way to indicate the dog that it has done
a job correctly. Corrective
feedback, on the other hand, in no moment will produce harm and it
is only aimed to indicate its faults. |
