Training a clever black labrador puppy



This is our 9 week old black lab puppy called Banjo, and my daughter Brenna, who taught him to ‘sit’, lie ‘down’, and ‘shake’ hands at the age of 7 weeks. He’s such a clever pup – food is his great motivator – he would be willing to learn calculus if there was a treat to be had :P , although Brenna rewards him with food randomly so he’ll always do the tricks whether there’s food or not in the hopes that eventually he’ll get a treat! Brenna’s done a great job on him. She’s in the middle of teaching him to ‘spin’ around.

    @aaliyahraks actually my black lab, who is now ten, when he was that age he was learning to shake, and high five, and lye down. its is pretty common with black labs or any lab i would guess, they are so smart.

  • zmfisher20

    yeah me and my brother taughtours to pound it, shake and high five. when he shakes he does it with his left paw, when he high fives, he gets his right paw waay high like raising his hand. and for pounding it, it is like shake only at the end he grips.. lol. lying down is easy for him to do dont really have to tell him twice.

    i love black labs they are so smart.

    @Heather2010ish Really? Who told you this?

  • Heather2010ish

    @uhjigali
    Wait!
    Don’t train her yet to stand on her hind legs as it can destroy her hips and bones.
    Also don’t walk her too far as it can also destroy their bones, but when she’s fully grown or either atleast 6months+ you can walk miles ;)

    @Heather2010ish I just got a black lab from the local animal shelter yesterday. She is just under 4 months old. Im sure I can train her to do most of what you listed. What methods did you use to get her to roll over, walk on her hind legs and wait for her treats?

    im getting a 7 week old puppy like this, this weekend!

  • Heather2010ish

    Wow,brill.
    Mine’s 4 month’s,working Labrador….girl…called Lucy.
    She’s got 4 rosette’s at age of 4 month ! :D
    She can sit ‘n’ stay
    Sit,lie down then roll over
    Hand stake
    Stand on two back legs & walk on back legs for 10 secs
    She can also wait for her treats then when we say GET IT she gets it.
    sorry for life story,just like telling !
