Labrador training preparation

• Best time for Labrador training is while your dog is hungry - Use treats during your
  exercises and your dog will do best when he's hungry.
• Practice the training lesson before your dog eats. If you worriy that your dog will
  gain weight, you can always use his dinner as his reward.
• Use phrases such as "Good Sit" and "Good Down" - Use these "specific"
  phrases rather than just saying "Good Dog."  She doesn't know our "vocabulary"
  and we need to teach her what the commands actually mean
• Use the word "Off" instead of "Down" - otherwise you may be confusing
  your dog.  If you tell your dog "down" when you want her to "lay down" and
  "down" when your dog "jumps," then you probably are confusing her.
• Don't Use "NO" Too Often - Be specific! 
  Use phrases like "No Bark" and "No Bite" to help your dog understand.
• More Time Rewarding Than Punishing - 90% of your training should focus on
  rewarding good behavior while only 10% should focus on punishing bad behavior.
