   always be consistant nd reward her for doing the right thing never the bad theing. if she pees in the house she gets no treats if she bites then squirt her nd say NO. never change the rules from one place to another u will confuse her. good luck wit ur new pup

   I adopted my Lab at 6 months of age.They have TONS of energy,and are quite intelligent.The key is to make sure they get a lot of exercise so they will be too worn out to get into everything.Stay calm,patient,and consistent with any training.

   For potty training i read "house training for dummies" It informs you of different techniques so you can choose whats best for you and the dog.

   "The art of raising a puppy" by the Monks of New Skete is an awesome book. These monks do nothing but raise puppies so they go over every detail!

   I would also suggest puppy training classes. its not only good for the dog, but good for you

   Kudos to you for rescuing!

   Here are a few quick pointers.
   Make sure she is dewormed and vaccinated. I recommend spaying. I would feed her high quality mean based food meat meal is first ingredient rice is second, if not plan on scooping up lots of low quality grain filler and dyes from your backyard. Meat meal and rice so it is highly digestible. This reduces the stool volume and makes for a much healthier dog. KENNEL CRATE TRAIN that is the best way to make all dogs a joy to be around. Kong Toy filled with peanut butter this indestructible toy makes chewing issues a non topic. Due to the high intelligence and wonderful personality of the Labradors I would not worry about which book, they should all cover the basics. If it were some of the other breeds then I would highly suggest specific books.

   Well, I never got a guide book in training my dog… All we do is train her to learn how to sit, down, handshake, rollover, and sleep… these are tricks that you can teach her…

   But you have to show it to her first… you have to push her butt her push her down a little… she might not budge but you have to keep trying it so she can get used to it… and teach her handshake like putting your hand and you have to put your hand into yours and say handshake…

   After that you have to give her treats only if she does it right, not when she does it wrong in the beginning. This is called conditional learning… the uncondition is something that you just showed her and she may not be familiar with it yet..

   For example, you feed her dog food and you have a bell in your hand. And you ring the bell while you give her the dog food. At first she’ll think its strange like what does this mean? but if you try several times, she will know, its just like how kids learn when their little.

   Then the conditional learning is that all you have to do is ring the bell and she will drool because she knows that Oh when you ring the bell, I get it, it means that you will give me treat, right? and everytime she hears it she knows. its time for supper.. This is from a psychologists example btw, you can look it up on google or some website about this type of learning

   But one of the most important that is the hardest and takes time to learn is letting her relieve herself. Most puppies pee everywhere in the house, if you have carpet, they will most likely pee/poop in the same spot. So you have to train her to go outside to pee and each time shes pees in the house or whenever she does something bad, you have to tell her NO! Bad girl! NO! or tap her nose a bit saying no. but dont be too mean. She will understand Oh, i should not pee here right? is that what you’re saying? Most dogs will listen, but again takes time for them to learn.

   MY dog knows how to do tricks and know that she should not pee in the house, but if she can hold it in, she pees in the garage or in my brothers bathroom which is better than a carpet you know… She even knows how to respond to her name when we say are you Hailey? shes nods and we gave her a treat haha

   The keys to good housetraining include:
   * Using a crate to prevent accidents and make it more likely that your pup will eliminate when you take him outside; and
   * Rewarding your puppy handsomely whenever he does the right thing in the right place. Punishing your pup for mistakes can actually make housetraining harder.

   Here’s more info.
