Breed & Life Stage Notes

Labrador Arousal Notes

Many labradors benefit from earlier reinforcement, clearer greeting rules, and structured decompression rather than longer harder walks.

What matters most

  • Pay before full acceleration begins.
  • Greeting structure matters more than repeated corrections.
  • Decompression should be deliberate, not accidental chaos.

Working sequence

  1. Protect the start of walks and greetings.
  2. Separate training loops from social access loops.
  3. Track which excitement triggers create the biggest spikes.
