Labrador Traits and Characteristics

Labradors have been the No. 1 most popular dog breed in America for close to three decades. It’s not hard to understand why – Labradors are playful, energetic, smart, and friendly. They make great companions for individuals and families and generally get along with children and other pets.

Although high-energy, Labradors are laidback and easy going, unfazed by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Bred originally to be working dogs, their intelligence makes them a great option for service or therapy dogs.

FAQs

One of our trainers will visit your home to meet you and your dog and discuss any issues you're facing. We will then demonstrate one of our model dogs so you can see what you can expect after hiring our trainers. From there, we will discuss the various packages we offer and which we feel best suit your (and your dog's) needs.
We provide full obedience training that covers all basic commands, both on and off-leash. Our in-home visits target specific issues like counter-surfing, digging, and more. Unlike some trainers, we work with all breeds, including those often considered challenging.

    We and our pup have had a great experience with McCall and Maggie and Dog Training Elite. We have an anxious and sometimes a stubborn little man and they took their time to work with him where he was at and help him grow. I am so grateful for McCall and Maggie they are both amazing trainers and really helped us at pick up to make sure we were all on the same page and his training continued at home. By the end of his first week out pup was excited for drop off to see his trainers and his fur friends. We excited to continue working with dog training elite with their in-home and group trainings in the future.

    Had a great experience with Dog Training Elite. McCall was the main trainer for Daisy and the transformation we saw in just a couple weeks was incredible. She made sure to address all the concerns I had with Daisy. All the trainers that we worked with were great and super friendly. I would absolutely recommend people here.

    We have 2 Berners - one pup, one 4 yr old - both brought into our home in September. After consulting with Dallin, we enrolled in the 2 week program at the training location in Sandy. McCall was their trainer for the duration of the 2 week program -- and trained us as well! Minnie and Moochie began to RUN to load into our vehicle for their 20 minute ride to the training! They happily demonstrated all their learned that day. We are using all the tools and techniques at home, to reinforce their training. We have SO many naughty LITTLE dogs (owners) in our neighborhood and want our dogs to make people happy, not angry. We already know that this was worth the investment. Additionally, the training space is very clean. The one disadvantage is there isn't a grassy spot very close to the training center (there is a small patch around the corner adjacent to the shopping center - but has some litter) - and our pups wanted one last 'break' before we loaded them into the car. Even so, that disadvantage is survivable and should not be a deterrent engaging with DTE. We are looking forward to their Saturday sessions, to continue our learning as well as their socialization!

    Jeff is absolutely amazing! He helped me and max feel more comfortable in the airport. And he made me more confident in my abilities! He was super patient with me throughout the whole session and understood when i needed breaks. I can tell that jeff is very passionate about his job and enjoys every minute of it.

    McCall and the whole team here are incredible. My dog is thrilled to go to school and is a happy & well behaved pup thanks to them. Highly recommend.

    I would strong recommend DTE to any dog owner! All the trainers and staff are excellent and they have provided excellent training instruction to both Alpha (doberman puppy) and myself. This should be a requirement before anyone buys or adopts a new dog!

    I cannot recommend Dog Training Elite enough! I recently adopted a dog and was unsure how to go about training, especially as more unwanted behaviors (barking, jumping when greeting people) started to pop up. Everyone I have met from DTE was incredibly kind and knowledgable, and happy to listen to me about what I was struggling with and help work on these issues with both me and my dog. McCall truly cared for my dog, and I feel like we now have the foundation for good manners in a range of different social situations. I could also tell that my pup had a great time and was so excited to learn more each day. I am already so much more comfortable bringing my dog around and confident that we will only be able to improve with both our one-on-one sessions, as well as the group classes to come. It is really hard for me as a first time dog owner to know what the best choice for my dog is, but I am so glad I went with Dog Training Elite. Thank you!!

    Worth every penny, and I should have signed up for dog training sooner. The whole crew at DTE are knowledgable, kind, and took the time to customize a training program for my unique situation and even individualized between my two dogs. I am so pleased! Thanks Jeff, Dallin, McCall & Oakley! You have been a game changer in my releationship with my dogs.

    Always great to work with Dallin! He gives great advice and is good at demonstrating how to train your pup. Dallin’s the best!

    We did the platinum package that included 2 weeks of day camp, along with private lessons and group classes. We’ve been impressed with all of the individualized advice and direction we’ve gotten from DTE. And all the trainers are extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I was pretty blown away by the change we saw after just the first week. Our girl Stevie still has some growing to do, but I feel that we have the tools to meet our goals. Stevie was a reactive shelter dog that is quickly growing into a confident, playful, well-adjusted girl.

    All of the staff are amazing! I have been working mostly with Jeff and Oakley, but everyone there knows about my dog and his progress, and are always ready and willing to answer my questions and help us on our training journey. They offer a wide variety of in home and studio classes, and personalize your training to fit your dog’s needs. I highly recommend them.

What Makes Labradors Unique?

Read More
Read Less

There are many reasons to love Labradors. Here are just a few:

  1. Labradors Love the Water: You may have already known this fact, because Labs are pretty famous for loving the water. They’re actually made for it! A Lab can use their thick tail – sometimes referred to as an “otter tail” – as a powerful rudder. They also have wide, webbed feet to help them swim fast and waterproof coats that help them remain comfortable even in cold water.
  2. They were Bred as Hunting Dogs: Initially, Labs were bred as duck retrievers, and then later as game-hunting companions. They tend to excel in retriever field trials and retriever hunting tests. They’re incredibly versatile as sport dogs, excelling in agility, rally and obedience sports.
  3. Labs Come in Three Colors: Labrador coats come in three colors – black, yellow, and chocolate.
  4. Labs can do Almost Anything: Their intelligence, energy, and affectionate nature makes them a popular choice for service and therapy dogs, as well as for search and rescue teams, and bomb and drug detection. Suffice to say, all Labradors are very good dogs who do very good jobs.

Breed Specific Tips & Tricks

Keeping Your Labrador Happy and Healthy

Read More
Read Less

Although Labradors are famously laid back and friendly, that doesn’t mean they don’t require attentive care. If you’re considering adopting a Labrador, or you already have one and want to learn more about how to keep your pup happy and healthy, consider the following:

  1. Labradors Need Plenty of Exercise: Although Labs are easy going, they need plenty of exercise – even up to two hours a day. This can be made up of long walks, training sessions, playing fetch, or going to the dog park. Though it’s important to make sure they get enough exercise, you also need to be careful you don’t let your dog overdo it, especially as a puppy while their joints and bones are still growing.
  2. Groom Your Lab Weekly: Labradors have short, smooth coats that are prone to shedding. Combing them weekly with a comb or bristle brush, or combing daily during shedding season, can help keep shedding under control. Make sure you have a good vacuum!
  3. Manage their Diet: As big, energetic dogs, Labs need to eat a lot – but they can be prone to putting on pounds, as well. Follow the recommended amounts on dog food packaging, or consult with your vet.
  4. Make sure Your Labrador Gets Lots of Attention: Labradors are very social. Socialization with other dogs is important, so trips to the dog park, doggy play dates, or group training classes at Dog Training Elite can be beneficial for both you and your dog. If your Lab has to be home without you for long stretches of time, be sure to have stimulating dog toys, puzzles, and chew toys available for them, and consider hiring someone to check on and play with them during the day.
