Expert Answer

The Labrador is highly intelligent, ranking 7th among dogs, about like a 5 to 7 year old child. It learns and adapts well, quickly mastering basic obedience, advanced skills, and complex tasks, and learns by observation, imitation, and feedback with good memory, training into guide, search, and therapy dogs. Its gentle, friendly nature and ability to read moods make it a widely recognized family-friendly breed.
