A letter from a Labrador Retriever puppy

I am a small, nervous and poor Labrador Puppy and I will promise you that I will love you and be with you till my last breath. I understand I have habits that need to be improved but I need your cooperation or you can put me to a Labrador training school.

A few facts about me which will help you understand me:

  • My level of understanding things and ability to learning is same as 8 months old baby. I am teething and that is why I love to chew everything that is in my reach. With your help and instructions I will understand what I cannot chew on. I love dog chews and those keep me away from chewing anything and everything.
  • I am a Labrador Retriever Puppy; so I am unable to hold on my bladder more than 1-2 hours. Just like other dogs I poop anywhere I want, but I guess you humans prefer pooping at a particular place. Help me understand that.
  • If I pee on your precious carpet or on the floor do not punish me for that. Unlike humans I need to pee and poop regularly though I need to learn that but give me time for that. It would help if you do not give me water after 8PM.
  • I am a small Labrador Pup, things will become messed up but you have to keep calm with me. My life as a pet is something new for me and only patience can teach me.
  • I like to play; I will bite you, attack you, chase imaginary strangers at our house and run behind balls, other pets, kids even after every moving thing.Please do not get angry with me or expect me to sleep whole day and stay on one corner of the house. Guide me in playing or buy me some dog toys and few to chew toys as well.
  • I need to play as every form of activity is beneficial for my growth and my mental exercise. If I pinch you with my teeth please forgive me and command me in a loud hoot, I will get your message in a flash "This is how we, dogs, talk with each other".
  • Do not hit, kick or beat me as I am a little Puppy and you will not beat a 8 month old baby as well, so do the same with me. If you treat me miserably then I will grow up with a fear of beaten up, therefore I’m likely to become an aggressive dog.
  • I am a Pup and I have feelings and it hurts me when you beat me or kick me. Although you cannot compare me with a human neither I can behave like a human, nor I am a robot who can obey your each command.
  • I truly love you, want to live with you, and want to be the part of the family. I like being in a group or pack of other animals. My aim is to please you become your best friend until my last day.
  • I am a Labrador Puppy and I have to learn many things, need to prove you that I can be the best dog you have ever seen, and I know you are also learning things. But its ok I love you. So my request is for you to learn everything about training puppies and their behaviors.
  • Take advantage of the fact that you can read and read books on dogs, meet veterinarians and make use of another marvelous invention - The Internet. Please register me for Labrador Retriever Training or Puppy obedience classes, as it helps me to be more social and will lay a strong foundation for my life.
  • I am a Puppy right now, please make some time to guide me, teach me and work with me. In few months I will become a handsome Labrador dog, hopefully that day you will be proud of me.
  • We will have a bond of trust and love with each other. But all this will be happen if you keep calm and be patient with me.

I hope this conversation about me will help us in building a better and life long relationship

Lots of Love

Your Labrador Retriever Puppy
