They are dogs with a lot of enthusiasm and for them there is nothing more special than a person who welcomes you with open arms to whom they will give all their kisses. Also in case a tense situation is created with another dog, Labradors are peaceful by nature and usually avoid any problems. They are dogs that transmit positivity, it is their way of being, and anyone who has had a Labrador will have learned from him that you can always see the glass half full.
Any family can enjoy the endearing character of a Labrador. Many people think that being a large dog they need a large house with a garden so that the dog can have a good quality of life but it does not have to be that way.
The Labrador Retriever loves to run and play, it is something he loves, but it does not matter how big the house is because he will learn that whenever he is at home he must remain calm. It will be during walks taking him to the park when he can play, for example, ball or with other dogs. Obviously, if we have a garden we can give it a game without going outside, but that should not replace the walk that is essential for any dog. But we insist that the size of the house is not important, because inside it you will want to rest and for that, a comfortable corner is enough for you to rest.
As a rule, a Labrador requires 3 walks a day, although when it is more adult some Labradors are enough with 2 walks. This is an important time to bond with him, allow him to explore new places and smells, to release energy, and to socialize with other dogs, people, and noises.
The Labrador is a great dog for those who have an active life, because he will always be happy to accompany his family wherever he goes and he will know how to do it to enjoy the moment. It is a dog that never seems to get tired, it will always be ready to go for the ball, play with the children, take a long path through the mountains, bathe in the sea or accompany its owner for a run. Likewise, he loves to share moments of tranquility with his family accompanying them while they watch television, study or take a nap. For the Labrador Retriever the most important thing is always the company of his family.
The Labrador is a very intelligent dog and its capacity to be trained is enormous since it is always looking to please. With very few repetitions he can quickly learn what to expect from him and as he learns, his ability to understand new commands accelerates even more. For this reason, one of the needs of the Labrador Retriever is training to develop their intellectual abilities and keep their hard-working mind balanced. Teach him tricks, challenge him to get his food, propose new situations and games ... He will always be happy to show that he can do anything.
