I recently Lost my lab, I would take this boy immediately!!! They are just wonderful dogs! I went for 4 years twice a week on training with them, I had two and now just one, they just loved the training! Good luck for this boy!!
What a good story, and he IS a very lucky dog.
I have a black lab named Benny, and he is just the sweetest little thing ever!!! 💕💕💕 I’ve had two other black labs in the past (RIP Arthur and JoJo) and Benny is every bit as sweet as both of them ❤ He is about a year and a half old and he is very vibrant, energetic, and adorable. We adopted him from a lab rescue center just a few weeks ago and before being rescued he was apparently a stray dog, but you wouldn’t think he was ever a stray because he sure doesn’t act like one. Benny absolutely loves meeting people and other dogs and just loves being social. I’ve only ever owned labs (specifically black labs) and they are the sweetest dogs to ever grace this planet. I can’t imagine ever giving up on a lab, they are so loyal and easy to love 💕 Honestly the only reason I can think of to give up a dog is if unexpected extenuating circumstances happen, like if the owner passes away or if the owner suddenly starts having health problems that prevent them from being able to care for the dog. In which case they should surrender the dog responsibly, like bringing them to a (reputable) shelter or rehoming them to another family that will take good care of them. Nobody should ever dump their dog into the streets.
I have a pure bred yellow lab. He is five years old. The first two years are the hardest as they are high energy sporting dogs. He was VERY easy to train....food driven and they want to please. People, please research the breed before getting a dog.
Doesn’t always work. In tour case, we weee told Black Lab/Pitt, and she tired out to be a Rat Terrier/Coonhound
I have an English lab I almost gave up on also at eight months but when I looked at his face I just knew there had to be SOMETHING I could do to get control. I found Charlie’s K Nine Camp for a 12 day in board training. Charlie and his assistant were very clear what my job was after the 12 days and I’ve made sure I didn’t let him down. He will be two on July 1st and he’s getting better and better but it’s not been easy so I agree with petiteme1960. Make certain this is the dog for you so you don’t have to break the dogs heart and abandon it. Labs are the number two re-homed dogs second only to pit bulls.
My lab is crazy hyper. I can get her to sit. That’s it. Sometimes I can get her to wait for food.
I also have a pure bred yellow lab he is now 11 years old we have had him since he was two where we adopted him from the shelter. I learned there are two types of labs the first type is basically like Marley from the movie Marley and me I don’t know if you have seen it but if you were interested in adopting a Labrador retriever you should see it everybody should see it the second type of labrador retriever is docile which is basically the type of Labrador retriever I have. Both personalities are wonderful and we can all learn a thing or two about unconditional love from one of the best breeds on Earth…… The Labrador retriever!!!!!!
I got my energetic ( now 6.5 year old ) pure blood yellow lab at one year old from a good home. He was potty trained for outside. I never did intense training on any of my prior dogs. I'm retired now but when I got this lab I was still working. When at work I left him in one bedroom with windows and gate. He also could see downstairs. Then 2 rooms, then all of upstairs. By 6 months he could roam 90% of home in my absence. In 2 years he roams 100% of home in my absence. He goes outside 6 to 10 times a day. I shut door but never lock door so he comes back in within 3 to 10 minutes. Im watching from inside. He was a challenge for while but I knew he'd mellow out. Still has energy. I'm totally against caging dogs.
Just look how often this dog is looking up, checking in with the people in his vicinity. He’s absolutely people focused.
Yep, that was the first thing I noticed, too. He will be very trainable, soon that little rascal will be an awesome family dog.
Glad you took Tim's helping this puppy
Aw, what a sweet heart!
I'm so happy, he was adopted by his new dad, so knowledgeable of labs. and their training. They are wonderful puppies!. So smart, playful, loving and caring companions. We have had labs. for the last 20-25 years and although, their energy level is so high, specially when they are growing up,. they are wonderful family members!
God bless you!
Thank you for being an Educated, Thoughtful, Reasonable Trainer who is Gentle with these Beautiful Creatures! :)
That was brilliant.Much love and respect from Uk x
these vids put a massive smile on my face 😁
i had a lab with the same name, absolutely precious.. was put down/died a year and a half ago since he had been suffering some coughing and back legs problems and my mother couldn’t watch him suffer, so she and my older brother(for who the dog was bought) decided to put him down, or in simpler terms was decided to put him to sleep.
We got a shitzu, perfect dog for us. Love her
He is smart, sweet and energetic like all labs. Mine just needed extea exercise until he was 5. They help keep you in shape!
I think it’s incredible the way the guy took that dog in and worked with it. Let’s go Brandon!!!
unbelievable someone dumped him, mine lived till he was 14 yrs old, I so miss him still
I love labs...someone will be very happy to have him.
I've heard it so many times ... there are no bad dogs, just bad owners.
Beautiful dog🇺🇸👵🏻
He’s gorgeous ❤️
what a good doggo 😊
Would love a retriever, yellow of course
…that is one perfect dog…
Beautiful cute 🥰
I now have an Australian Cattle Dog. She is a rescue, she was dumped near a cousins place - pregnant! She had the puppies and she's been spay - now for the training. She's ok on leash but needs work on other commands. She is super smart and will get them I have no doubt.
Cok güzel bi köpek nasil mutlu oldu sizle gelince
My 12 month old lab puppies has lots of energy. But he a a beautiful boy who is training to become a therapy puppy and he will come to work with me at school. He doesn’t have a aggressive bone in his body. Sad when we as humans let animals down.
I think before someone sells or gives them a Lab, an owner should be assessed for knowledge and training skills. If not, chances are high the dog will be returned anyway. Poor pooch but happy to see he found a home!
People need to be 'trained' ! :-)
When getting a dog it’s important to be realistic. What can I handle, and more importantly, do I actually want to? We have had Labs for over 20 years, and while easy to train, it still takes commitment. It makes me so angry when people choose the wrong dog for their situation. The sad things I have seen, especially with working dogs.

👍 👍 👍!!!
Interesting.
💛
Hey Y'all, I can perform at least 5 of those commands.
Beautiful lab. I have a 2.5 y/o yellow with more gold than this dog. He’s great walking on leash and when meeting people on a trail I can have him sit and people will brag at how well trained he is. I laugh as he’s good at this but he still has plenty of puppy in him. But that’s all part of it.
My younger sister has a lab who hates water
the book water dog goes through how to teach a dog to like water, proof they don’t necessarily come with the love of water
I raised labs and trained them. They are very easily trained
Stay isn't a command
😢
Labs are the best we have been very lucky with ours 2 yellow, a very laid back black and finally a very nutty chocolate boy who does not know if it is midnight or midday his brain has not kicked in yet he is 4.
Go get them I don't know anybody take them an unruly little puppy and and teach it manners
This guy knows his stuff, but it'd be a lot easier if he de-energized the dog first. 10 minutes of tossing the ball or playing with the other dogs.
A tired dog is a calmer dog. Usually.
If his original owners think he was bad, the better never get a husky puppy. I’m on my 4th husky and I love them to death but, boy howdy they’re horrible puppies…lol
Lol we have two border collies now there’s some energy for you, but we knew this and had what we thought is a great solution. They jog walk and run next to our golf cart. Oh they take turns riding shot gun.
People are so lazy never researching before buying
Awwww! Who would abandon a sweet boy like him. He has zero aggression. There are no bad Labbies, only stupid owners!
Amen I'm 68 have had 3 black labs in my lifetime love love that breed. They have enriched my life .
no need to call them stupid, if you’re uneducated in relating to dogs, you simply will fail, but you’re not stupid…..i watched because i’m currently training my 6 mo border colllie rescue, talk about energy. Puppies only know what you’ve taught them, even though i completely understand this i’ll catch myself remembering i hadn’t taught a specific thing. She’s so smart, learns quickly. When we’re playing fetch while I’m working on my garden she brings her ball into the garden room where i’m working and puts the ball on her toy shelf so it’s easy for me to reach. Sometimes she brings the ball and tge chuckker hoping to convince me it’s time for fetch. We’re working on walking and i think of how many people would give up on her, but it takes work to teach a dog behaviors, so i think of people just not understanding that dogs, like us as children, need instruction on behaving, as children we were taught how to cope, calm down, can’t return children to the shelter so children who don’t get this training are also a problem, they’re possibly the owners returning dogs to the shelter.
@@Kate98755 I did not call the Foster Parent/Rescuer stupid.
I meant the people who abandoned this puppy in the 1st place. Stupid idiots who bring home a pup and then abandon him/her
@@jaisekharnair6040 i know who you called stupid, i’m on your side, who gives up a pup, but rather than stupid, a word i despise….they just didn’t know what is actually involved in actually raising a dog. Same with people having children, children require patience and resolve to help them mature…same with dog ownership…we agree,i do understand why you called them stupid, i’ll take my assessment back…because i too want to call people thst name, cheers and peace
At least they were smart enough to surrender the dog rather than have it chained in the back yard for years.
Aw, he’s such a happy fella! My 1 year old female yellow lab is super high energy and extremely smart! It takes a huge amount of patience, training, and exercise to help these lovely creatures reach their full potential.
Yes, Labs are indeed very smart!
Brandon - - pleeeeze start your own shelter doggie rescue series. The "other" (old) one just isn't the same without you.
I. Completely agree.... the new people are nice but he’s a much better trainer 😊
I just put down my lab mix the other day. I loved every single moment of my 15 years with him. Labs are just pure joy. He was the embodiment of finding happiness in the little things, and loved the world.
I'm so sorry for your loss
I am sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a four legged family member . I lost my first lab 12 1/2 years ago three days after his 13th birthday. Nothing can replace them. I now have two labs, a ten and a six year old. Their personalities are vastly different. Each one is like half of my first lab in their quirks, demeanor, and personality.
You are not alone. We lost our 14 year old lab late last week, and it is a death in the family complete with grief and heartache. He was my best friend, and my wife's baby. We'll adopt another Lab when the time is right as it is the only breed we've ever owned.
I had a black lab who loved to play fetch. All I had to do was play fetch with with him for 45 minutes a day and he was good for the rest of the day. He loved it and I loved watching him have so much fun.
Exactly my experience.
I love labs, but then, I'm happy to take a 5 mile walk every day plus half an hour of fetch. They are puppies at heart till they're about six!
Love heals all!
Know the breed and what you're able and willing to do.
I have Labrador and that is very energetic and hyper. I took him on a 30 min walk and let him run in the back yard for 30 min daily. Now he is not as hyper and a little more calm. It’s really not much of training. Owners just got get off there ass and do stuff with the dog.
I’ve told many people that if you are lazy, then you don’t want a puppy. All puppies have energy and it’s cruel to force a puppy to sit on the couch all day.
I have two labs, a white and a brown, yes they have a lot of energy, one is now 7 and the other is 5, we got them as pups from 8 and 7 weeks old, they both are rescues and they are so sweet and well behaved, very well trained and very loving, no better dog then a lab, they are smart and no dogs to be locked up, they are my joy and my support.
Labs have a lot of energy. Needs to have an owner that is active!
That was interesting. Takes a lot of skill to train a dog it looks like. I would like to learn how to do that. Great video.
What an awesome trick to make your point that "calm" will get further in dog life. Thanks for sharing the harness @ a pole technique, Brandon McMillan!
I got 2 lab pups at the same time. It’s was crazy the first 6 months. Took hours and hours to train them but now they listen, most of the time! 😂
my heart swelled with love the moment I set eyes on that beautiful dog.
Great 😊 training tips 💕
Dog owners should watch how you do this. Just takes a relatively small amount of patience and persistence that pays off in spades.
Gorgeous dog. Looks pretty normal for a field Lab puppy. He'll become an attention getter in the right hands.
I was impressed Brandon! That was great training!
I have a pure bred yellow lab. She’s a year old.
I’ve had labs my whole life. She’s the most energetic dog I’ve ever had my whole life. She’s high strung to the point she has stressed herself and caused idiopathic tremors.
We are trying to train her. That being said, she loves everyone and everything. She spent some time with an emergency vet (from the tremors) and the vet declared “she’s my new best friend”
Definitely food oriented. Lol
Bad separation anxiety which we are working on.
Thank you for saving this little guy ❤️❤️❤️
Much love from One lab to another✌️
Labs need a lot of vigorous exercise. I throw or hit a baseball (actually a lacrosse or croquet ball) -- which they absolutely love fetching!-- many times to try to wear them out a bit.
@@djg585 American Labs vs English Labs😅
@@vikingdogmanship
I seem to have one of each. They both love fetching anything-- ball, stick, frisbee. But I will definitely buy the rubberized frisbee next time!

I was feeling down but watching this has cheered me up, thankyou
I love this trainer! I binge watched several of his Lucky Dog shows last week!
One day I was a neighbor's house with Cassidy, my Chocolate Lab. We went in the house and the neighbor asked me to do something for her. I told Cassidy to sit and stay; I didn't even look at her, she knew. My neighbor said, boy, I wish you could train my daughter's dog! I asked her what was wrong. She said the dog jumps on her grandkids. Stupidly I asked her if they had trained the dog, stupid look #1. Then I said, dogs aren't born knowing what they're supposed to do, stupid look #2. Lastly I said, were your kids born knowing what "no" meant or did you have to teach them? Stupid look #3. I left.
Great job.....thanks for saving this great dog!!
You think Labs are energetic??? Try a Border Collie!
I wish that all who choose to have a dog realise that you need to train them. Kindly. The results of the training is a much happier dog and a much happier human.
It's usually the owners that need training.
Omg they are nothing but a bucket of love and snuggles. Love my lab
Love this guy!!
I has a lab, golden mix. Best buddy I ever had. Miss him everyday
So good to see Brandon back here. He works wonders for dogs. I wish I could train with him.
The dog should be free and the idiot owners put in a cage!
Aj ja to hovorím.......a to čo človek ublíži zvieratku , ja by som mu to urobila taktiež.......
I rescued my Labrador from South Korea... we still live here in my apartment. It's not the best situation but we're doing our best. Loved the video 👏
My daddy always told me "First thing you gotta understand when you are training an animal, you have to be smarter than the animal. Some people are just stupid sweetie" 🤣
Why can I find and adopt a dog like this? I would adopt a Labrador Retriever in a heartbeat.....................
I have 3 labs. They are the best dogs but like any animal, you have to love and exercise them every single day
On December 29th, Dabl is saying goodbye to all the Lifestyle shows and relaunched the black shows like Moesha, Girlfriends, The Parkers, Sister Sister, The Game, One on One and Half and Half.
That will be an excellent doggo. Observe how he right away looked up into the face of his new guardian, as they left the shelter. Within a few weeks he will have perfect manners, thanks to the guidance he receives, and somebody will be lucky to welcome a lovely pet into their homes.
I would adopt him in a heartbeat. I have a black lab now(female), and had a yellow lab for 15 years(female, 2000-2015). He would get lots of frisbee chasing, and swim as much as he wants. Labs are such good natured dogs. Will always have one if I have a dog.
I miss my girl Tear. Yellow Labrador Retriever .we had just short of twelve wonderful years together. Puppy so much energy. We would go to the country off leash . She would run burn energy. Go home and train..By the time she was two. We'd go everywhere toghter she'd be off leash. All she wanted to do was PLEASE me.
Really ? I've had 2 Labs now. My 1st was a really big 110 lbs male who was probably the smartest animal I've ever known. If a dog was gonna talk, I surly thought he was the one. Now my second Walter an almost white Lab is the calmest dog ever, all the other dogs running up and down the street , he would rather just lie there and watch. We bought this dog for my sons graduation from High school. He's not a ball of fire either, we were looking for a calm dog and we got him. Walter was named after Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men. This dog is an old spirit. Smart and kind. But he plays rough, doesn't know his own strength. Great dogs those Labradors.
This dog looks like an "American" lab. Bred for hunting vs the "english" variety which are calmer. Smaller head and chest. Fur is shorter.
This is exactly how my black lab is right now but I couldn’t imagine giving my dog away.
i feel like labradors' excellent reputation actually does them more harm than good. so many people are under the impression that they're an "easy dog". there is no such thing as an easy dog. these are incredibly high-maintenance pets that need a lot of work, dedication, training, socialisation, care, and so on - no matter the breed. my lab is the light of my life, but as someone who studies & works in animal care i always make a point to tell people that a LOT of people just don't have the right sort of living situation/personality/commitment/etc. to own a dog, and also to explain the specific difficulties that come with labradors.
Could i bring my wife in???,if you could get her to understand the word know,especially shop days,as we are only two not six,and do you do wife whistles.?????
Labs need as much mental stimulation as physical exercise. They're basically super smart athletes. You can run them multiple times a day but that just makes for an even better athlete with great conditioning! Gotta add that mental stimulation in to help them calm down and focus. Mine loves having "jobs" where he has to bring me things I ask for or carries things for me. And we do a lot of scent training, which wears him right out!
I can’t get mad at the owners turning in that Labrador. Because I have a Labrador which is 8 months old and he is very destructive. He chases my cats, destroyed my bed, destroyed my remote control, my glasses and and his bed I bought him and not any dog bed but a foam mattress dog bed and I had him toys to chew on. And I take him walks to get energy out and let him play in the backyard but he still act up. I mean I try to do the best with him, so I’m sure the prior owner went the same thing I went through if so I can’t blame them . I just thank GOD that I have a lot of patience. I already prayed to the good LORD to put grace in him, so hopefully I will see it as he gets older because I don’t know how to train a dog , I just know how to bond with it.
Im always amazed how fast people give up on dogs. Puppies are babies and toddlers- give them a couple years to chill and of training. Sawyer deserves better.
The first 2 minutes are really nice. Then you had the dog for 1 frickin day and force training , force training !
Horrible training.
Gotta give it to this guy. He takes a dog that really isn't that bad besides normal puppy stuff, lets it pull on the leash, coaxes it with treats and horrible excited energy to get it to misbehave and stay excited. Then does some weird 21 century tie it to a post stuff which he gives some weird name and reasoning for, plays it all up to the camera and gets a ton of views and probably makes gobs of money.
Funny thing is they are so cute it is hard to resist them. I just feel bad for brown and black dogs (and other animals too). Sadly, just like people, stupid people are less likely to love or trust them. There are so many dogs and cats and even guinea pigs and other animals that are left behind because they are of a darker color (and in guinea pig cases, those with ruby colored eyes are also less likely to be adopted).
He is sweet. The owner don't know how to handle Lab. Conttol can not achieve in one hit, you need to repeat it. I have Goldador same energy as this Lab. I discharge his energy by letting him play with neighbors dog.
They called you! You must be special. Most rescues won’t call you, they are fake and want those sweet sweet donations.
He needs tomget rodmof that energy by walking and sniffing out food
