All young labradors have terrible manners, that's why you have to train them. While you should not do formal obedience training before one year of age, that did not mean you shouldn't teach the dog some manners! I don't really see why you would take another dog when you already can't control the one you have. Labradors are REALLY easy to train, while dogos..aren't. Do you think it will be easier with 2 dogs? Remember, two is a pack! I would say, make a one-year commitment to train your labrador, and then see if you still want another dog.<br><b>References : </b><br> Hello,

My honest opinion is to train the lab teh class is usually about 2 months work on him for about 4 months and then get a puppy. A puppy will often pick up the bad habits of the older one ( much like looking up and wanting to be like teh older brother or sister). Giving the lab 4 months should get him in a good chance of learning, training never ends so yo9u would need to continue and hopefully by then teh lab would have picked up better habits for a new pup to follow. Good Luck<br><b>References : </b><br>dog breeder Teh earliest in my area is 3 months old.

Labs ment for completition dogs do best if they do not start FORMAL retriever training until they are 6 months old. What happens is that people (some) are so excited about the puppy that they work on retrieving and steadying the dog and burn the dog out very early. You have to do obedience and make the retrieving fun to create the addiction that you will use to your advantage in training. However the dog should learn manner, respect, crate triaining and puppy obedience immediatly. NOW, with you having a pet only there is no reason to wait for anyting and at a year you have allowed these issues to become pretty solid habits. So the sooner the better. You will only be frusrated if you do not have #1 under control before you get #2. And if you do not make the same mistake twice you will have a happy household.<br><b>References : </b><br> I certainly hope it was a misunderstanding or the person you got her from was an idiot.

My mom had a dog that was the same breed, and we didn't start trainging her until she was about a year old, and she couldn't learn very well because she was used to only coming to her name.

You have a human baby and you spoil it to death now its an overweight kid so you say, I am going to have another baby... Is that a good idea? probably not.... Work with the dog you have now. Go to a pet store that offers Dog and handler training. Get some training, at Petsmart they offer 6-8 week classes for about 100.00 it is an INVESTMENT for your sanity and that of the dog. Once you have mastered the training of your current dog.. then think of getting another. It is A LOT of work. but worth it. Remember dogs are animals not human. we can not expect them to behave like us. Good luck and don't give up.<br><b>References : </b><br> OK, think about this.

It's never too early to start training a dog. They like the mental stimulation. A very young puppy might not be able to do very complicated things, but simple commands such as "sit" and "stay" are easily learned and indespensible. Labs are smart and she'll probably learn fast, but you'll have to undo the bad behaviors she does have already. I wouldn't get another puppy until the one you already have is thoroughly trained. 2 disobedient pups at once would be an awful lot to handle.

In any case, even if you do, both dogs should not be in the same obedience class. The Lab can go to an adult training class, but the Dogo should go to a puppy class (10-12 weeks). Some places will take puppies as early as 8 weeks, but you have to make sure that your pup is well-updated on shots. I'm really not sure about taking two dogs to be trained at once. Generally, it's not a good idea. It's quite a massive amount of work having two rambunctious, untrained dogs in the house. Settle one, and then move on to a new pup.<br><b>References : </b><br> Definitely do not get another dog until your current dog is under control.
