The age-appropriate separation training from relatives should start when the puppy is young. The first thing the puppy needs to face is to be separated from its mother and siblings. It is difficult for a puppy to adapt to separation. Therefore, puppies under eight weeks old should not be separated from their relatives. Some experts recommend that they be separated after at least ten weeks to avoid affecting the physical and mental development of the puppies in the future.

1. The Labrador was originally sitting. At this time, he gave the command "get down" and patted the ground gently at the same time. In training obedience, start by using both voice commands and eyes.

2. Hold the leash to enhance the effect of the command if necessary. At the same time, the command "Don't move" was issued. You can use this command when you want your Labrador to stay down before you return to it.

3. Walk forward as far as the length of the leash and turn around to face the Labrador. If the Labrador wants to move at this time, you can use the palm of your hand to indicate it and continue to strengthen the meaning of "don't move".

4. Return to the dog in about a minute and see if it continues to lie down. An obedient dog will not move even if the trainer walks away. This kind of training can strengthen the dog's obedience to the owner's commands.

5. Release Labrador from a certain posture. Praise your Labrador after every exercise. Make it clear that the exercise ends here. With a touch and a few words of praise, most dogs will feel very happy and willing to accept various trainings obediently.

Notes

Dogs just want to be noticed by you, so they will do anything positive or negative, and the purpose is just to attract your attention. So when it does something wrong, it is blamed by you, and when it does something right, it is not praised by you. This will only reinforce the wrong thing. It is very important to praise your dog's behavior correctly. Praise is a must and blame can be ignored. Then the correct behavior can be reinforced because it understands what to do to get your attention.
