The Labrador Handbook: The definitive guide to training and caring for your Labrador Kindle Edition

This book is well written and covers a lot of information. A good resource for the Lab owner. I have a Labradane so I had to also get a book on Great Danes to combine the two breeds together. What a good combination for a family pet. Have a great day and may the LOVE of JESUS CHRIST richly bless you. Charles(NAHUM 1:7 / JOHN 3:16 KJV).

I grew up with Labradors. Now I have a new rescue dog who is 3 years old. This book was way too basic and puppy-centric. I was looking for advice, for example, on what sized crate to use for a Lab. No info in the book. The website is much better and free. Am returning.

I have never had a dog before so I took the time to read this book cover to cover, as did my whole family. The information is straightforward, easy to understand, easy to implement and extremely helpful for a new puppy owner. Her writing style is entertaining and informative. I like how she warns you that it will chew everything in your house and then puts a cute puppy picture on the next page to make you almost forget what she just wrote.

Very helpful book. I knew nothing about Labs when I adopted my Lab puppy. Been quite overwhelmed with his behavior and the book was very helpful in letting me know he is normal, making me feel much better. Very good training tips.

This helped me so much, because I thought that I was doing everything wrong. Pippa has helped me to understand that my puppy is just doing what comes naturally and we are having such a good time helping her become part of the family.

Helps with questions about caring for my lab - a rescue that I love.

This book is full of wonderful information about the Labrador retriever. It’s going to be very helpful.

If you’ve got a Labrador, this book is a must. It is easy to read and hits mists of the topics on how to raise a lab from puppy to adult .

Got our first labrador a few months ago- we had no idea what we’re doing - have read a lot of internet stuff and still struggled because of inconsistency. I think it’s best to stick to one style of approach and the strategies and methods in this book have really worked for us. Me and my wife both read it and it’s been a game changer. Lots of good specific ideas for how to get the basics nailed down and simple explanations of the science and rationale involved so that you can easily then apply the same principles to things not specifically covered.

I’m waiting for my new puppy in two weeks and keen to learn and revise how to teach my new pall. A big dog is a nightmare if basic training isn’t achieved. Well I found the first few chapters quite negative and off putting. I had little doubts about my choice. But keep with it as I did. Knowledge is power and knowing the bad things stands you in good stead to achieve what we all want. I well behaved dog that we can take anywhere and be a pleasure to be around. This book gives you warts and all and in the end I’m glad I read it. Two weeks to go and this book will be my guide over the coming 12 months

It is a lovely book but I'm afraid most of the book is about choosing a Labrador, which would have been perfect if I hadn't got. A 2 year old lab already. I felt it was a book written about my dog. I have pippa mattinsons puppy book which was very infromative too!I thought it would have been more about training than choosing a Lab which is the only reason for giving 3 stars.

Bit shorter than I thought it would be - can be a bit wordy, it's not a general training guide, it details how to pick a dog etc which was irrelevant to me

As a potential new Lab puppy 'parent' this book is excellent. Very readable, I haven't put it down yet, and full of the same sensible advice found on the authors website. This is a great compendium of that advice, and one of the few paper books that I will keep around. Very happy to support the author for her great book and website
