Welcome to the Pack...our newest member - Molly! She is a 5 1/2-month-old Yellow Labrador Retriever who began her Puppy Advanced Obedience training this past week. Her owners reached out to us for training as they were having some typical puppy issues: jumping, nipping, recall, and the beginnings of separation anxiety issues.
The Labrador Retriever, often known simply as the Labrador or Lab, is a British breed of gundog and one of the most popular dog breeds worldwide. With their iconic floppy ears, expressive eyes, and wagging tails, Labs exude charm and warmth. Renowned for their athletic abilities and eagerness to please, Labs excel in various roles, from therapy work to search and rescue. The Labrador’s gentle and patient temperament also makes them exceptional companions for children, earning them the reputation of being one of the best family dogs.
Originally bred as retrieving dogs for fishermen, they possess a strong instinct to fetch and carry objects, making them excellent partners for outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, and retrieving games. Labs thrive in various sports and competitions, including agility, obedience trials, and dock diving. With their winning combination of intelligence, sociability, and athleticism, Labrador Retrievers continue to capture the hearts of dog lovers around the world. After a 31-year run as America’s most popular dog breed, Labs lost the title to the French Bulldog in 2023.
Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Molly! We look forward to helping your owners become the calm, confident pack leaders you will need in order to thrive in your new home.
