From the Back Cover
Your Happy Healthy Pet

30-minute large-breed training DVD contains bonus material specifically for your Labrador Retriever! Dog behavioral trainer Peggy Moran shows you how properly training your Labrador Retriever makes your best friend a Happy Healthy Pet for life.

A Labrador Retriever is an adorable bundle of black, yellow, or chocolate joy. No matter what color coat she sports, her versatility and temperament make her an equally wonderful guide dog, sporting companion, or all-around family pet. She greets each member of her human pack with enthusiasm, and her genuine love and zest for life are contagious. The Lab is a faithful friend, and after spending only a moment in each other's company, you'll find yourselves hopelessly devoted to each other.

Packed with full-color photographs, this fun and practical guide gives you everything you need to make your relationship with your best friend even better. Inside, you'll find:

• Characteristics to look for when choosing a Labrador Retriever

• A list of supplies you'll need before you bring her home

• Advice on grooming, feeding, and training

• A reproducible pet-sitter chart to keep track of important information

A bonus DVD shows you that educating your Labrador Retriever positively is easier and more fun than you think. You'll learn how to teach your furry friend basic commands and tricks, correct inappropriate behaviors, and understand her unique personality.

Easy to Understand and Good Ideas
This book was great. My 3.5 month old labrador retriever already does "sit", "down" and "shake" on command, thanks to this book. He is also fully crate-trained. I would recommend this book to anyone.

The Information You Need in Easy to Read Reference
The author gives clear and consice advice that really works. You will not be disappointed

Needs much more than what is offered.
A few cute pictures and basic info that can be found on the web is not something I consider a good read; especially when it involves educating me on the task of raising a life...

This wasn't very informative, and didn't offer much more than basic puppy information, and like a few other breed specific books, seemed to be mostly generic information. I understand training a dog is not rocket science, but if a book is lab specific, I want it to clearly lay out issues for my breed and make it as easy as possible to follow along.
