Training a Labrador to growl and be quiet is a fun exercise. Through this training, Labrador can know when to bark and when to shut up, which saves the owner a lot of worry. And sometimes Labrador lies next to you and barks at you a few times, and you feel as if you are chatting with Labrador.

1.

This training requires the Labrador to sit down first, then tie one end of the dog leash to a solid object, and give the "bark" command and gesture. The specific methods and gestures are: half extend your right hand, palm down, and grasp the Labrador three or four times.

2. When doing this training, an important technique is to use food to lure the dog in front of the dog. Because the stimulation of the food causes the Labrador to be excited, but the Labrador cannot eat the food, the Labrador will bark.

3. In the early stage, food rewards should be given after barking, and then the rewards should be gradually reduced until the rewards are completely removed. Finally, the Labrador can be developed to bark only by listening to commands and looking at gestures.

4. In addition, the dog’s ability to bark when objects that cannot or cannot be held should also be cultivated. To this end, you can use the items that Labrador is most excited about and place them out of the dog's reach. Let Labrador pick them up and give the "bark" command. If he can bark, reward him immediately and give him a reward. Take out the items and let the dog pick them up. By repeating this for many times, the dog can develop the ability to bark for items that cannot be held or cannot be held.
