Walking a Labrador Retriever
Labs are famously food-motivated and high-stamina; their potty timing is usually predictable once meals are on a schedule.
Labs have high stamina and love water — they're natural long-distance walkers who thrive on varied routes and off-leash time in secure areas. Puppies can pull hard on the leash; loose-leash training early makes adult walks (which can stretch to 60+ minutes) much more enjoyable. They handle most weather well and rarely turn down an outing.
