Its was great to have someone to support me with basic training ideas providing information on what to do and not to do. this was very helpful even though I have an older Lab dog. I felt your information gave new ideas and different ways of training.

Fantastic so glad I found it, my dog is 9 weeks and he sits, stays, comes to his name gives me a paw and toilets where he should. I couldn’t of done it without dog savvy. I wanted advice on training labs and didn’t want to make same mistakes that I have done with my other two dogs. Thank you so much .x 🙂

This has helped us tremendously...

We wanted the best possible bond with our Lab as he is part of the family but we are inexperienced with the breed. Labrador Retriever Savvy provides a quick, easy and understandable guide to achieving this end. Our pup will be 4 months old in about a week and has been fully house trained since 3 months, knows his crate, sit, down etc. commands and is a delight in every way. We have read your material cover to cover and have been following the recommendations provided. This has helped us tremendously with our aim for a loving well- integrated Lab member of our family.

A great book for anyone thinking about owning a Labrador. It gives great insight and knowledge on the breed that normal people do not know. It really helped my family understand and help train our puppy to be the best dog it can be.

The dog I have is a labxcollie but I have observed definite lab qualities. I have been brought up with dogs but this is my first dog and have found your book a great source of information, especially in relation to her behaviour. Suki is very lively and requires lots of walks and is now attending puppy classes once a week. Thank you.

Labrador Retriever Savvy is by far the best as it relates to Labradors. If we had our Baxter at 8-10 weeks of age and followed this book we would have been blessed with a very obedient dog and great companion. We rescued Baxter when he was 9 months and he is now 14 months old and we still follow the book as well as using outside training. No matter what the challenge don’t ever give up, as consistency pays off and with each passing month we see improvements.

Labs, by far and away, are predictable. Experience with these intelligent and beautiful dogs is so very useful in training and owning Labs. You’all obviously are experienced and very knowledgeable. Even experienced owners can benefit from your reminders and techniques!

I like that I keep being reminded that I need to praise my Lab and I need to play and work with my lab every day. some days I just don’t feel like playing or get tied up with work and life, but I get an email or look at the book and am reminded I really need to if I want the reward in the end. I great Dog I love and want to take him everywhere and behave well.

learned various tools to help me deal with her...

Rated 5 out of 5
July 18, 2013

I adopted Lacy when she was about 2 years old. She was the PERFECT dog for seven months. Not one mistake in the house, just absolutely perfect. Then one evening we came home from going out to dinner and she had destroyed the back door and it got worse from there. She will open all the kitchen cabinet doors, she will eat the trim off of doors, she will knock the garbage can around, she will pull all of the tissues out of the trash can in the bathroom. I went on the internet to try to find something I could read that could help me after I took her to the vet to discuss what was going on and what I could do. My vet put her on a medication that helps calm her and it has worked pretty good. Between my vet’s instructions and your instructions, I have learned various tools to help me deal with her separation anxiety which is apparently the root of the issue here. It is still a struggle and I am very anxious every time I have to leave the house, which is every morning when I go to work, but we are trying to get through it.

What a wonderful and useful book. it took one day to have our new puppy house trained and she has only had two accidents since. One of those was my fault for not paying attention to her when she went to the door. The book gave me insight into the breed which helped me with the puppy. I would tell anyone that is thinking of getting a lab to buy this book. I have shared some of the information with our son who owns two labs and it has helped him as well. Fantastic product at a very cheap price. Thank you for your product.

Starts you on the road early...

Rated 5 out of 5
March 19, 2013

I have had 4 x Labrador Retrievers over the last 47 years and have just become the proud owner of Number 5! No matter how many times you have a puppy, you always forget just how much work they are but it is important to remember that the more time spent training at this early stage the easier it is as time goes on – this is where I have found that Labrador Retriever Savvy together with the regular emails has been invaluable because it is easy to understand and the emails re-enforce and remind you at what stage you should be at. It also helps you ensure that you are doing things correctly and you are not left thinking ‘Am I doing this right?’. In the past, I have attended dog training classes but you cannot start these until puppy is fully vaccinated so Labrador Retriever Savvy starts you on the road early – it is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone about to become a Labrador Retriever owner. Thank you.

I wanted to understand my new friend and made it easy for him to adapt to this new home. I wanted to make sure that I would be the leader from the start. It was important that he wanted to obey me and follow me as a happy dog. With your information I was confidant and sure what to do and what to expect during our first few weeks. It is now 5 weeks since he came to live with me and I have a well trained shadow everywhere I go!

Due to all the helpful information...

March 18, 2013

Retriever Savvy has given us the confidence to do it the right way. We have gone through the puppy stages once before, and we now realize all the ‘little’ simple facts we didn’t know at the time, caused a lot of frustration and produced a ‘not so well’ behaved puppy and adult dog (that we still loved to death), but if we knew then, what we have learned through your book, now, what a huge difference it would have made. Our puppy is only 3 mths old, but has already become such a ‘well behaved’ and ‘loveable’ part of our family.. I can honestly say it is due to all the helpful information we have learned from your book… Thank you! We look forward to the continued email support we have been receiving.

I like the fact that Labrador Retriever Savvy helps keep me accountable to training our dog. So many times dog training books get put on a shelf and never used until there is a problem. I have noticed a big difference in the way our dog responds to us since we’ve been learning the importance of becoming pack leaders. She’s not jumping up as much since we’ve been taking the advice of Labrador Retriever Savvy.

My daughter relocated in another country and the foster care she had for the Labrador Retrievers didn’t work out. I picked them up at short notice, not knowing anything about the breed, or much about dogs, being a multiple cat owner. Labrador Retriever Savvy has made it possible to look after my daughter’s dogs rather than take them to a shelter. It’s been such a relief to have someone to turn to.

Labrador Retriever’s are not like other dogs and have special requirements so I found this guide to all be very helpful, including the emails which keep you on track and enthusiastic about training. It also gives you confidence that you are doing the right thing because you can see it working with your own dog. Thanks!
