My stepdad raises labs. What kind of training do you want. I can't help with the diet because his dogs get all kinds of goodies(cookies, peppermints, etc.). All of the labs I have seen pick up bad habits from other dogs.

I have two lab mixes, I'll do what I can.

1. They like to run, including escapism. They arent trying to run away, they just like to move around in the world, but you gotta keep an eye on them.

2. They need good training and exercise. They are very obedient when trained, and reliable, but they are a hunting dog breed and need the stimulation of training.

3. Unfortunately, they will eat ANYTHING - some of them need to chew
as well. Get them good chew toys to keep them content. Diet should consist of a good dry food, and then combine in a SMALL quantity of canned food or oil, to keep their coats glossy. They do not develop much of an undercoat in the winter, and keeping the coat glossy helps keep them warm. It waterproofs the coat and provides protection from the winter.

4. They often tend to be "one man dogs" - they like everybody (not the best guard dogs) but they will bond with one person and everyone else comes second. They are marvelous with children.

5. They like to work. I have read that in Australia they are the number
one dog chosen for people-assistance dogs. This goes along with the
training note from above. They need to feel useful.

6. They want a lot attention....a good run before bed will make them
a little less itchy to do something.

7. They tend to be very friendly and loving. They have given their hearts
to people and are completely happy o do so.

Hope that helps some. If you have specific questions, let us know.
