Baby Velociraptor training with Coco the Labrador pup, Labs make great family dogs but I won't lie...the puppy stage is some hardcore s**t, being extra mouthy and bitey with super sharp teeth and their instincts to eat or chew almost anything whether it's edible or not makes it a real challange, preparation is key...lots of safe chewing outlets at hand, lick mats to keep them mellow, good puppy proofing and early training is an absolute must for these magnificent creatures, their super high food and play motivation makes them very susceptible to positive reinforcement training and the sky is their limit with training...hence they're the breed of choice for many jobs like guide and assistence dogs as well as search and rescue, detection and more❤️
We're working on reducing the biteyness with great results so far, walking nicely on a leash and helping him control his excitement levels when people on the street engage with him (second biggest challange with a Lab pup, they're so adorable so of course everyone wants to say hi which often pushes them into an excitement frenzy and disrupts the walk leaving the owner to deal with their puppy in a state of over excitement) 🫠
