This book was great. My 3.5 month old labrador retriever already does "sit", "down" and "shake" on command, thanks to this book. He is also fully crate-trained. I would recommend this book to anyone.

The author gives clear and consice advice that really works. You will not be disappointed

If you are looking for training advice ( and with a title like "How to Train your Lab...", what do you expect) this book is a weak rip off. The author has beautiful photos but doesn't actually start to begin the training discussion of any kind until page 39 of a 90 page book..... so 40% of the book is not even related to the title. Weak - would not purchase again, and if I could send it back I would ( and I love books)

Great book. Perfect for training the active lab. I love that is comes with a DVD. This book covers everything you need to know about your lab from birth to old age. Wondering though, why is there a golden retriever on the cover???

Here is an attractive entry by author Liz Palika, a book that takes a loving look at America's singular and by far most popular wonder dog, the Labrador Retriever. As she points out so well, there are few other animals who draw such love from humans as a dog, and surely the Lab is the most loveable of the breeds. Here she presents the Labrador Retriever in all its wonder and does a yeoman service to the rest of us by enumerating all of the superb qualities the dog has to offer potential human enthusiasts. They are by reputation excellent working dogs, both as field dogs and as guide dogs for the disabled. They are also incredibly loyal, and the news services are often filled with wonderful and heartwarming stories of Labs crawling out on the ice to save their masters, often at considerable danger to themselves. Nonetheless, they stand by our sides.

Therefore, this book, "How To Train Your L:abrador Retriever" is a great tribute to the breed, and is chock-full with stories and photos that actively serve to substantiate what might otherwise seem as idle boasts and overethusiastic praise. In fact, for anyone who spends any time around Labs, like me, it is hard not to use superlatives when describing them. More than one of the stories herein will bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye, and the idea in your noggin perhaps it is time to consider getting one of these incredible creatures into you rlife, and that of your extended family. they boost the energy level in any room they enter, are incredible chick-magnets, and have been shown to reduce high blood pressure and dissipate depression through their mere presence. This is a wond
ful book, and one I am sure you will enjoy!

A few cute pictures and basic info that can be found on the web is not something I consider a good read; especially when it involves educating me on the task of raising a life...

This wasn't very informative, and didn't offer much more than basic puppy information, and like a few other breed specific books, seemed to be mostly generic information. I understand training a dog is not rocket science, but if a book is lab specific, I want it to clearly lay out issues for my breed and make it as easy as possible to follow along.

A good useful book for anyone who needs some help training a Lab. Goes over a lot of general lab information as well as training tips.

This book makes training your Labador Retriver easy to train.
