For those of you who would like your lab puppy training to be already started, we offer a 14 day program. Our Best Start program is designed for us to keep your lab puppy until week 10 while it undergoes formal training 2-4 times a day and a detailed socialization protocol. Puppy training intensity is based on how your lab responds. In addition, informal socializing with our family is explored. We will start your lab's training for the following: respond to their name, sit, stay, off, potty training, walk on a loose leash, down, come, stay, and fetch. 

One of the most important things during the weeks 8-16 of your lab puppy's life is being taught to follow rather than lead. As your Labrador Retriever breeder we will begin the training process and spend time with you when you pick up your new puppy teaching you how to carry on the training and answering any questions you may have. Your lab puppy will socialize daily with other dogs and the members of our family and will be exposed to various noises, terrain, body language and other stimulus they are able to handle comfortably.
 

Cost for the Lab Puppy Best Start Training Program is $45 per day or $630 for the 14 day duration.
