A Guide to Basic Dog Training Principles

• Your best bet would to be to find an actual trainer in your area and take classes. This not only will train the dog, but it will train *you* how to train the dog.

• It looks like you want to go about this the easy and cheap way - which, of course, is excellent you're trying to get involved in the dog's life so early on! You have to be very careful about relying on information on a website or on the internet - some places can be biased and give you information that is false or not fully fitting for the type of dog breed you have, moreso a generalization for *all* dogs.
  
  What I would suggest (and help you save the cash in your wallet) is go the cheap way to train; most places like Petsmart, Petco, or any large pet store will have many books designed for your lab in specific and will teach you everything you need to know about the dog! Some Petco's/Petsmarts offer free hour-long puppy training sessions if you just bring your dog and show up in-store. You can also try your luck and go to a local library and try to see if there are any Labrador training books available. Most books from the store will cost anything from $10.00 - $20.00 which is a far cheaper investment than having to purchase a trainer's aid.
  
  As long as you educate yourself properly on this you can train your dog as well as be more personable with him. Labs, fortunately, are some of the easier and more responsive dogs to learn how to train and will help you make the training process easier simply because their temperaments are amazing.
  
  Oh, and about the chewing problem.. puppies teethe just like human babies do and they're trying to get the teeth through their gums because it's painful and irritating for them. I'd suggest to start a good habit early on and give your dog something he's supposed to chew on - like dog ropes, tough rubber Kong toys - anything he can fit in his mouth to keep him occupied. I give my dogs a Booda Velvet bone when they start teething because it's something they can eat and it's hard enough to keep them occupied for hours, even days - and they won't be inclined to chew on objects about your house as much. You can pick dog toys up from any local or major pet supply store. :}
  
  Good luck!
