Gentle, intelligent, agile, ideal life partner.
Labrador is a fairly balanced and comprehensive breed, suitable for many functions, and also a good pet. They are easy to train and are a very obedient dog breed. They are loyal partners worthy of sharing your love. They are very friendly dogs, especially for children. Usually, they don't have the troublesome characteristics of other dogs, such as occupying territory, insecurity, aggression, destructive ability, irregular sensitivity and so on.
Dogs, as the name implies, are excellent retriever. In addition, they instinctively like to hold things in their mouths, even their palms and arms, in a quite gentle way. They like to chew (of course, they can be trained not to). Labrador's fur is waterproof to some extent, so it can be widely used to hunt waterfowl.
Labradors are famous for their mature breeds and excellent domestic dogs (they can get along well with children of all ages), but some lineages (especially those bred for their special skills) are characterized by extremely fast speed and very strong physique. Their lively and fearless personality sometimes leads to injuries, which may require training and firm traction to ensure that they will not get out of people's control. Most Labradors like to keep getting the ball back and other forms of activities. They are all oriented to food and entertainment to a certain extent. They are quite easy to be trained, have no prejudice against new things, and pay close attention to people's attention and reactions.
Labrador dogs are widely used as guard dogs and guide dogs because of their gentle temperament and quick action. It is also an excellent amphibious shotgun dog and a trustworthy family dog. Nowadays, Labrador can not only be a hound, but also be trained as a guide dog to detect drugs and explosives. The sensitivity of smell is beyond the reach of other dogs. In addition, they are common companion dogs. Various types of Labrador dogs include: service dogs, antiepileptic dogs, comfort dogs, guide dogs, hearing dogs and so on.
Service dogs are mainly used to help the disabled. They can help people pull wheelchairs, open doors, turn on lights and carry things. These dogs usually carry a backpack with their owners' daily necessities. They can go shopping in the supermarket with the owner, put the goods they want to buy in the shopping cart, and help the owner take them out and put them away when they get home. This kind of service dog can serve almost anything, from pressing the elevator to anything that the wheelchair owner can't get, and he can help them get it, providing the best service for the disabled.
Anti-epileptic dogs are used to help epileptic patients prepare before seizures. They can warn the owner before the onset, so that the owner can find a safe place to wait for the attack in time. Usually, the antiepileptic dog will block the owner's way, let him know that he is about to have an attack, and then stay by his side when the owner is sick until the owner fully recovers.
A dog with the function of comforting dogs does not need special training like the above-mentioned dogs. As long as the dog has a good temper, it can be touched by others, is not aggressive or too shy, and of course must be able to obey the master's command, such as sitting, lying, and other basic movements. Dogs that are usually used as comfort dogs are privately owned. They can follow their owners to visit sick or helpless old people or children in hospitals or convalescent institutions regularly, so that people can freely touch or talk with them to soothe their injured or lonely hearts. To become a comfort dog, you must apply to the relevant institutions, which will evaluate and test the dog before issuing a comfort dog certificate.
Guide dogs are mainly used to help blind people, take them through roads and crowded people, and help them open doors and pass obstacles. These tasks must be completed by a very special Labrador. It must be able to judge for itself whether the master's orders should be obeyed, and it must know how to disobey bad orders so as not to make the master suffer. Such a dog can only be one in a thousand.
The job of hearing dogs is to help deaf people and give warnings when there are important sounds, such as doorbell ringing, baby crying, someone calling the owner's name, alarm ringing and so on. Well-trained hearing dogs are not only good companions for the deaf, but also life-saving amulets.
Labrador retrievers are famous for their guide dogs.

It is said to be slow, in fact, because it will not suddenly pounce on it, or repeatedly knock over things in the room, nor will it suddenly rush to the child, so that the child will be frightened and injured. So, for the first time to try to raise a large dog indoors, what if it is regarded as? Entry dog? Is the most suitable.
One of the charms of Labrador retriever is that he likes swimming. Labrador retrievers from water hounds like to play with water and are very good at swimming. In summer vacation and holidays, the whole family takes it camping together, which is most suitable for it to take a sea bath.

How to choose toys for dogs
When dogs feel depressed, fidgety, lonely or stressed, the way to release stress usually manifests as some destructive behaviors. Toys can help dogs reduce stress and reduce the possibility of destructive behavior. Without toys, dogs may bite anything they can touch, such as shoes, books, even beds and chairs.
Choosing a toy of the right size can help your dog consume some energy. Some toys may be suitable for puppies, but puppies may look smaller when they grow up and should be discarded. Small toys, such as rubber balls, may be swallowed by adult dogs or stuck in their throats. Discard those toy fragments and toys that have been shredded. Aggressive biting may bite the toy into pieces, which may get stuck in the pet's throat and even lead to the pet's death. A pet with a strong aggressive bite force should be given some toys made of hard rubber or nylon. These toys are durable and not easy to bite. Semi-aggressive biting pets will not bite toys into pieces, but will aggravate the wear and tear of toys. You can give them some canvas or plush toys. These toys are soft and don't tear easily. Pets without aggressive biting behavior can be given some soft toys.
Dogs also like all kinds of toys. Sometimes you need to prepare four or five toys at a time and rotate different toys every week. This will interest your pet. If your pet likes a toy very much, it's best not to change it. When you buy a new toy for your pet, you should see its reaction to the new toy. If it bites the toy desperately, and the toy is not strong enough to be torn easily, then you should take the toy away in time and buy it a more durable toy. Toys are made of different materials and have different durability. Therefore, before buying a toy for your pet, you need to know your pet's biting habits and choose a suitable and durable toy for it.
