If you can afford, it take your dog ,to a obedience class.
The sooner the better,well-trained dogs make great pets.

You need to do a lot of research and find out if there is a puppy school operating in your local area.

My best advice to you until then is that Labradors love food and will do almost anything for a small treat.

Go to your local library, vet / shelter or even google the information you need. Alot of it is really common sense.

I suggest obedience classes and look into Cesar Millan - Pet Whisperer. He has great techniques and a show on National Geographic channel. Look for classes and techniques that focus on positive reinforcement - treats, praise, etc. Watch out for programs that use choke collars, etc - I just don't think this is nice to do to dogs. The key with training dogs is to be consistent. We also have a yellow lab and they are an amazing breed!

Hey Batboy88,
If you can afford it, you and your dog should take a course but it is quite expensive. Pick one that does not use chock collars or hitting to discipline the dog. We were told we were training us not the dog. Use lots of treats(pick treats that are good for your dog).You have to work with him/her every day.He only gets a treat if he does what you want him to do.To teach him to sit ,put him on a leash, offer him a treat just above and behind his head and say sit, when he does (and he will) say yes and give him the treat. Do this a bunch of times and every time he does it say good boy . To teach him to lay down, get him to sit, then say lay down and hold the treat down on the floor, when he lays down to get it say yes and give him the treat.
This is how we taught our dog and he is a well behaved boy.He can also sing, dance,stay,roll over and then he can take a bow.
Never use a choke chain on him.
Never pull on his leash if you want him to follow you, think about what you would do if someone were trying to pull you , you would pull back, that is what your dog will do.Same with trying to get him to sit , if you push his butt down he will push against your hand.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for this great post on Dog Whisperer Potty Training, I was searching for something along the lines of this and in the top 20 results at google, yours was the most informed and well presented. I was wondering, do you think Potty Training Dogs would make a great topic for a future post here? Or did you do that already?

I have never believed in chokers or special collars to train my dog, rather use reward, and affection as a basis with a Firm “No” if your dog has done something wrong followed by affection again. this is the same technique use by mother dogs on their pups

The businesswoman launched an offshoot of Net-a-Porter,a year ago. The site sells designer goods at discounted prices and has gone from strength-to-strength.They need to start teaching more about entreprenuers in schools,Christian Louboutin, but people who have started with nothing and made a success, then perhaps we would we more of these stories in the future.

As of last week Alexander McQueen said they were in the process of making the request for summary judgment because Judge Victor Marrero doesn’t think Louboutin can prove why he needs a trademark on his shoes.The singer emerged from a recording studio on Melrose in the wee hours of Friday morning looking Donatella-tastic in a one-shoulder Versace flower print dress, her custom Christian Louboutin velvet Daffodile platform heels and sunnies.
