Labrador Retriever Owner Review: Chloe and her lab Tony

This is a very good breed to get if you want to train your dog. They are very intelligent and love to please their people, so they are highly motivated to perform. Even then, it’s important to start early while the puppy’s brain is still very pliable and open. At the same time, it’s important not to overdo it with the puppy. If they start getting tired or bored from training, they may lose motivation and start dislinking the whole endeavor. It’s important to combine work with fun, so to say!

This breed is 100% people-oriented. Their favorite thing in the world is to stay as close to their owner as possible. Our Labrador, Tony, is very affectionate and has zero aggression when it comes to our family, relatives and friends.

He is very patient and loving. He will lick you to death if you allow him and will beg for pets and attention for hours. He also likes jumping up on people, which we are currently working on, because he is an adult Lab now and weighs quite a bit. If he steps on my foot it can hurt, so I try to teach him to be gentler around people and especially children.

For the most part, he seems to understand that he is quite large and needs to be gentle, but sometimes when the playing gets too exciting, especially around the kids, he can lose his mind a little bit and become too bouncy and overexcited.

With strangers, Tony is a little more cautious and actually barks quite a bit when strangers approach our home. So he does have some guarding instincts! But we try to actively discourage the barking, of course.

We walk with Tony twice a day. At least one of these walks needs to be long and active, and even better if both walks are like that. This is a very active dog and they need activity and exercise every day. The awesome side effect of that is that you will become more active too! Our whole family lost weight ever since Tony came into our life.

Some of the downsides of owning a Labrador is they do have a few diseases they can be prone to, such as hip dysplasia. To avoid that, you need to carefully choose your breeder – someone who screens their dogs for genetic diseases. This will give you a better chance of getting a healthier dog.

Once the dog is in your home, good nutrition is also very important for their health. We feed a good store brand food but we know people who feed their Labs a natural diet. If you choose to feed them naturally, you will need to talk to your vet about supplementing minerals and vitamins.

Labradors have short coats and don’t require much grooming, except when they’ve been rolling in the dirt during your walk or if you live in a wet climate and there is dirt outside. We wash Tony’s paws every day during fall/winter/spring and give him baths about once a week or more often if needed. We do trim his nails regularly. As per our vet’s recommendations, we also regularly inspect him for ticks, fleas and use various antiparasitic medications to prevent parasites. Tony is six years old now and we haven’t had any health issues with him yet, thankfully.

One thing to note here is it’s very important to be financially responsible and only adopt a dog if you know you can financially support them if anything happened. Vet bills tend to be very high even for routine appointments and you never know what could happen. Along with that, dog food can get quite expensive, and you always have to get lots of toys and accessories such as leashes and collars and dog beds etc. You need to be sure you can comfortably afford all of that so that both you and your dog can have the best life possible together.
