Labrador Savvy has been very helpful to me and my family while we are raising our Chocolate Labrador Retriever. There is so much to know about the breed and about training them to do what you want them to do. Being consistent is the most import tip you can use while training your labrador. Thank you Labrador Savvy for all of your helpful information.

I finally was making progress and sleeping at night...

Rated 5 out of 5
February 5, 2014

I had never taken on a puppy and didn’t know where to begin. The first week was very stressful and without a lot of sleep. I did a search on the internet and found Labrador Savvy and since I now had two labs thought this would be the right place to start. After following the tips of training and understanding the habits of labs a little better I finally was making progress and sleeping at night. My first lab came to me as an adult and even though he is my puppy’s Father, they have completely different personalities.

A fantastic book and help line...

February 5, 2014

I know that all the information is specifically for labradors and has been very well researched and therefore for me and my labrador all breeds are different and therefore it is better to to be getting advice from people who obviously care for and have labradors than someone who has another breed of dog they definitely are different. I love that I can ask for advice and will get it. A fantastic book and help line when you are starting out training and I look forward to all the tips and emails.

September 19, 2013

I found Labrador Savvy surfing the internet for how to raise a lab pup. We bought a male and female, not for breeding, but for family pets. We knew nothing about the dog world and LS has enlightened us so much. I was nearly sick after getting the pups because I had no idea the job I was undertaking. I sleep downstairs by the pups so to take them out every hour and meet their needs. I believe I can still be the Alpha even tho I have come downstairs to take care of them. When they are potty trained I want to bring them to our bedside upstairs. The free email support has helped so much as if they knew exactly what I was going through at each point. It is really weird that the info comes in the nic of time. One thing that would help in the book is to address getting two pups at once. I have gathered information from all the free books, as well. They are each so helpful and you just cannot quit reading about how to handle different situations. I have a long way to go and training classes are coming this month to help us train two at the same time. I have sent questions and concerns and LS has answered in a timely manner. I mean I was near tears, no kidding, on what to do next. It is scary and dogs are a lot of time, not wanting to say trouble. I have always had kitties. All the books are helpful and beginning with LS it has litterly helped me stay sane the last 3 weeks. I don’t know what I would have done had I not come across LS. Thank you!

September 19, 2013

It has been 15 years since I last owned a puppy and the first time we as a family have had a Labrador puppy. I have to admit that the first week with our beautiful puppy was quiet a shock and we had wondered what we had done in inviting this active ball of black fluff into our lives. While searching the internet for puppy training tips I came across Labrador Savvy. I liked it because it was written for Labradors and their particular traits, and it helped to have advice from some one experienced as everybody has their own ideas on how to raise a dog even if they don’t have one! The manual has been fantastic in helping our family manage Shadow. We still have many things to learn but knowing that I have the book means when a situation arises all I have to do is look it up. I have not had cause to use the email support as yet but it is a great back up which I am sure I will use.

September 18, 2013

I ran across the information about caring for a Lab on line. I never knew the proper way to train a dog. It was hit and miss with other dogs I have had in the past. Eventually they turned out ok but with a lot of hard work and determination on my part. I received “lab savy” within a week of acquiring my companion. Training him to do as I wish has been both educating and a sheer pleasure for him and me. He is so very happy a puppy that I have ever seen which in turn makes me and my wife, who was against getting a dog and loves the little guy, happy campers also. Your suggestions take so much guess work out of a possible hard relationship. I am so very grateful for your guidance and would recommend “Lab Savy” to everyone who ever would consider having a Lab for a companion. With total sincerity I remain,Al Keller

Labrador Savvy gave me an insight to the mind of a labrador. I didn’t realise how intelligent and astute they can be and very manipulative in getting what they want. Thank god i was forewarned with the information provided by labrador savvy. Also not just the puppy stages are covered but right up to adulthood of a labrador’s life. One can refer back to it and see what to expect.

My grown son and five boys have raised Honey from a pup. My husband and I became her mon and dad about 4-5 months ago. She is a sweet dog. She is 1 and 1/2 years old. With your help she has responded to our consistency. She stopped barking(anxiety disorder) and jumping. I am not to sharp when it comes dog training but we just follow what you say and she responds like magic.

What to say about Labrador Savvy? … I’ve had 2 Labradors before, both times from young pups, and it’s been over 12 years since I last had a dog, so I bought Labrador Savvy because I wanted a guide to training my dog, and to refresh my memory, and because I believe each and every dog deserves a well read, knowledgeable owner who is keen and interested in the best for their pet … and while I had some experience, I wasn’t really that. The wealth of knowledege, insight, advice and fun in Labrador Savvy is fantastic … and it had me thinking in new ways … suggesting new treats it hadn’t crossed my mind to use (Ice Cubes … I wouldn’t have thought) … and it gave a lot of help when I was dealing with behaviour I hadn’t previously experienced. Kate’s love of the breed shines through … I’m sure there are other great books out there, but Labrador Savvy is a great resource for any Labrador owner … new or experienced … and I happily recommend it.

Rio and I are finally getting our training straightened thanks to you. Rio was a crazy chewy puppy at the age of 2 months. I begged for any advice that could possible relief my pain from his energetic behaviour. He chewed not only my entire house, but my hands and whatever part of the body he could reach 🙂 Labrador Savvy taught us how to have a good balanced relationship. We found other ways to release his energy, and nowadays we don’t struggle with chewing anymore. Rio has become way more of a well behaved puppy, so if you’re about to kill yourself because of your little lab, don’t think twice and get Labrador Savvy! Thanks Kate!

I have a 5 year old boy and a very excitable 3 year old girl – they’re quite a handful! When I told my husband I wanted to get a Labrador puppy he thought I was mad, but I really wanted my kids to benefit from growing up with a dog and I needed a good excuse to do more exercise and lose a few pounds.rnrnI knew I had to get it right from day one and so I bought and read ‘ Labrador Savvy’ 3 weeks before “Otto” joined our family. Your advice made really good sense and it made such a difference to know that I could create an environment where I did not have to constantly watch over them all.rnrnThe children adore Otto and are learning so much about how to take care of him. We’re all getting much fitter and Otto is turning into a delightful dog. Thank you.

Our chocolate lab, Rolo, used to be an embarrassment when we went to the local park as he would bound straight up to people and leap up to say hello. Even though we knew he wouldn’t deliberately harm anyone, we received a few angry comments from non dog lovers and parents with children. Now, after just 2 weeks of following your advice, he has learned to say ‘hello’ with all four feet firmly on the ground and has made many friends with the children in the neighborhood.
