The Labrador Retriever’s IQ ranks among the top and is very smart, but it must be done at the right time.

1. First of all, it depends on when you got the dog. Because the age at which everyone gets their dogs is different. Some are 2 months old when they buy them, some are 3 months old, or maybe older... so there will be certain differences in training time and techniques. . It cannot be said that the most suitable age group is 2 months old, then it cannot be trained beyond this time period.

2. Secondly, it varies depending on the subjects being trained. For example, for the training of drug detection dogs and search dogs, the training time will be earlier, usually around 2 months old, but the training subjects are mainly training in some basic subjects, such as physical training, name training, and title training. The training time for hunting dogs, environmental adaptation training, etc., for anti-drug and explosive search dogs, the training time can be around 2 months old, while for guide dogs, it may be later, because they can never be used Starting from the U-shaped guide saddle, the dog should be at least 7 months old.

3. Third, it depends on the dog’s neurological type. Usually, we divide dogs’ neurological types into four types: excited, lively, quiet and weak. In fact, the neurological type of dogs is not so clear-cut. It is often me in you, you in me, and the four types are intertwined. There are active dogs that are excited, quiet dogs, weak dogs, etc. Among these four neurological types, except for the inferiority of weak-type dogs, it is difficult to say which type of dog has a good personality and which type has a bad personality, because their work orientations are different and their personality evaluation criteria are also different. For example, when training to search for drugs and explosives, the Labrador is required to maintain excitement and persistence for a long time. However, for a relatively quiet Labrador, it may not be able to do the task. On the other hand, a Labrador dog used to guide the blind must have a stable and quiet nerve type and long-lasting endurance. Excitable dogs lose their advantage here. Therefore, during training, trainers should be good at discovering the shortcomings of the dogs they lead, so as to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.

4. Fourth, it depends on many other aspects. In addition to the above four reasons, there are many other reasons, such as the trainer's own business skills and training techniques, the training level of the assistant trainer, the training environment and equipment, and other factors. For example, at the beginning of training, if the trainer's training level is high and his skills are skillful, he can enter the subjects to be trained early, which will save a lot of time and will not be limited to "the best training in 5 months". I have fallen into the cycle of "good" or "7 or 8 months of training is best".
