Labrador pups are difficult to train

I have tried, unfortunately he never listen to me because I'm hardly home. My girlfriend he kinda listens too a little bit , but she also is having some trouble with him.

@Kanji121 ok my friend

@Kanji121 cool

That's the plan I guess for now

@Kanji121 Fingers crossed!

Wow, I suppose you could be right, I'm hoping that after the puppy phase he is going to be loving and caring like most Labrador are. I do my Krypto ends up like your rat terrier.

@Kanji121 First question: Do you have a crate for your puppy? To your pup, a crate is like having its own bedroom, its special safe place in your home. This video and article explain in detail how to train your dog to a crate and why it should be a positive thing for your dog. Second question: Is your pup leash trained? Your dog should always be on a leash unless you are in a contained, safe area like a fenced yard or dog park. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/teach-puppy-walk-leash/ I also recommend you find someone in your area who teaches the KUSA Canine Good Citizen Training for dogs. Here is a website I found for a dog training school in Durban. http://www.mckaynine.co.za/caninegoodcitizen.html This video and link from the AKC explain what being a Canine Good Citizen means. The KUSA has a similar program. The second link will take you to the web page explaining the program done there in South Africa. https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/training/how-akc-canine-good-citizen-is-part-of-being-a-responsible-dog-owner/ https://www.kusa.co.za/index.php/kusa-initiatives/canine-good-citizen-test Raising a dog responsibly takes time and patience. You have committed yourself to taking the best possible care of it for its entire life, and that includes training it to be a good canine citizen. Both you and your dog will enjoy your life together more if you both work together. Best of luck.

Is there any training tips or advice as to what I could use on him?

@Kanji121 My niece had a Labrador, the dog was naughty when he was a pup.

I believe so. He has improved his behaviour a little though since I've gotten him. I know Labrador tend to behave like this as pups, but varies I guess , I previously had a lab pup and he was very obedient.

I have fishies as well. They the most obedient lol

@Kanji121 Yes, they are. I own guppies, corydoras catfish and cherry shrimp. I love to watch them in their tank. For years, I owned a pair of carpet sharks. They could get out of their tank and would hunt for me around our house. (They can only stay out of the water about an hour and a half before needing to be helped back into their tank.) I got them as newborns. A friend shipped them to me from Australia. They loved to be held and petted... They'd squeak at me to be picked up and loved... They would wriggle just like young puppies when they want attention... They passed away almost six years ago and I still miss them.

@DaddyEvil I never tried petting my fishes, 5hats something new I learnt today. Wow and I never heard of those species of fish. I haven't seen them locally too. I have a small tank which has a few fishes . They all unique in there own way. I named one of my angel fished after my lab pup that passed away, and I noticed when I'm near the tank the fish always fights with the rest when to see me. Reminds me of my puppy. Lol

I'd probably try that if it gets worse, but it's going to be expensive
