Is a Labrador a good family dog?

Labradors are excellent family dogs! They are really friendly with people, especially kids. They are super lively, playful and gentle. You are sure to find a forever friend and the best family member in a Labrador!

Is Labrador friendly or not?

Labradors are famously very friendly, outgoing and high-spirited dogs. They love people, kids, and eventually can be friendly with other dogs, if socialised appropriately. They are instinctively pack dogs, so they value family and companionship.

Can a Labrador live alone?

Labradors thrive on attention, and often don’t respond well to living alone. They can get lonely, anxious or destructive in the house if let alone frequently or for too long. It is possible to train them to be okay with short intervals of staying alone, but we do not recommend doing so for long.

Can I hug my Labrador?

Yes, Labradors can be cuddly and enjoy a hug! However, every dog is different, and it is best to understand their body language before you go in for a hug. Understand to read signs like growling, snapping or moving away to know if and when they want a hug or some personal space.

How many hours a day will a Labrador sleep?

Adult Labradors need around 10-12 hours of sleep per day, on average. It is important for them to complete these hours, including deep sleep and short easy naps to be energised, healthy and happy.

Is a Labrador easy to maintain?

Labradors are relatively easy to maintain, making them great for first-time pet parents and families. They have short fur that does not require elaborate grooming.They have very active minds and need a lot of exercise—mental as well as physical. So make sure you give them lots of outdoor time, enriching activities, loving attention and a comfortably big space to live.

Can I train my Labrador?

Yes, Labradors are super easy to train! Their smart, intelligent minds can pick up on tricks and instructions really fast. You can teach them basic commands at home, or seek help from a professional dog trainer and behaviourist.

Do Labradors bark a lot?

Labradors can be talkative and have a rather loud bark, which is a useful trait since they can alert you of intruders or when they need something. However, they can easily be trained to bark less, or whisper.

WITH YOUR LABRADOR

Labradors are a working breed and highly intelligent. In the past, Labrador retrievers helped their humans on hunts and fishing expeditions. Today, they are often trained as sniffer dogs, guide dogs and therapy dogs. So their brains are capable of a lot more than just plotting ways to steal treats!

This is why mental stimulation toys and games are key for labs. When a dog’s mental capacity isn’t being exercised enough, he or she can get bored and this can push them to be destructive at home. Toys like Nina Ottosson’s puzzles, HUFT Snuffle Mats and KONG toys are great for mental stimulation.

Labs are strong chewers so they need chews that can match their strength. You can choose from KONG’s Extreme range or West Paw. Chewing exercises their jaws and relaxes dogs so these are great additions to the toy box.

Keeping an eye out for ticks and fleas is essential throughout the year. Use natural tick and flea repellent spray before going out to play. Natural Diatomaceous Earth (DE powder) kills ticks & fleas by dehydrating them. Natural tick & flea shampoos are useful as well.

Always buy dog shampoos and conditioners, using those that are formulated for humans can damage their skin.

The HUFT Silicon Pet Grooming Brush or a Pet Grooming Finger Glove can be used to work up a lather and also dislodge already shed fur from the coat. Ensure you rinse out shampoo well and let the coat dry completely after the bath.

Highly absorbent microfibre towels come in handy for baths.

Collars can strain the neck if your dog is a puller. Switching to a harness will take the pressure off the neck and distribute it evenly across the body but it won’t stop your pet from pulling. Consult an experienced trainer on solving this issue.

An identity tag is one of the most useful and basic safety precautions to take for your pet. This tag can be fixed to your pet’s collar or harness and should contain your contact details as well as your pet’s name. If you ever get separated from your pet, there’s a good chance that a rescuer will be able to reunite you if your pet has an ID tag.
