We have a Black Lab and I have to admit that he is a smart one that listens really well.
We took him to 2 obedience classes before he turned 1 year old and that atmosphere of having to behave with other dogs around really seemed to stick with him.
He is off leash everywhere we go.
He stays close and like any retreiver "works" scents in the air, grass, bushes back and forth, trying to flush something.
His "heel" and "leave it" are outstanding. When I tell him to "leave it" he lays down and does not move until he gets the OK.
Super with kids of all ages, great friends, LOVE to swim, I would recommend a Lab to anyone.
