Training a 2 year old lab

Question

i just recently got a 2 year old black lab. The people who i got him from never did any training with him he was locked in a cage 20 hours a day....he really has absolutley no training.....is it to late too train him...he's like a 2 year old puppy.

Answer

It is not too late at all :) I cannot believe that the poor thing was kept in a cage for 20hrs/day and never given any training.

He must be loving the freedom now!

How is his behaviour, is he well behaved?

I would suggest you start reading through all the training pages on the site and then come back here to ask for further advice once you start if there is anything you need.

Begin with the housbreaking and housetraining pages.

Remember come back if you have any other questions.

My family adopted a 2 yr old lab that does have some training. Most of his life before us he was leash walked, but we have a fenced yard where he can run. Our issue is that when someone walks or rides by and especially when he sees a cat he literally foams at the mouth and will not listen to our commands to come. He is a great dog and has great "manners" other wise. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
