Labrador puppies are naturally eager to learn, and early Labrador puppy training sets the foundation for a lifetime of good behavior. Starting obedience training at 13 weeks takes advantage of your Lab's critical socialization window, when they're most receptive to learning new commands and building habits. Early training prevents common behavioral problems like jumping, pulling on the leash, and selective hearing — saving you time, frustration, and potential damage down the road.
