Dog training Advice for lab puppies

In order to be as cool as I am I needed a Dog, not just your run of the mill dog. A yellow Labrador
Retriever. It was April's Valentines day present/ my new puppy. He was great growing up, He did all things Lab. He learned very quickly how to go out potty outside, to shake with both paws, to sit pretty on his haunches. I can get this dog to do anything I want I told April. So she says make him do his business on command so I read up on it and all you had to do the books tell me is when he is dropping a deuce is say the "PHRASE" and praise him to the high heavens. Well Ladies and gentleman My phrase is BOMBS AWAY, and my dear April in all her feminine ways hates it but she found out today that it works till this day. So while im on the subject of all things lab I will entertain you dear readers with the story of the missing favorite JEANS. Not my favorite but Aprils favorite pair of my jeans the ones she looks at my but in all the time! We were looking for these jeans for well over a month and she kept asking me where I left them? I would look at her with the same dumb lab look the dog gives her and say well if I knew where I left them we wouldn't be having this discussion. Well a few days later I or we found them. You see we kept our mighty Lab in a cage till he was a year and half old then he started sleeping out of his cage and only being in it during the day when we werent home and I or we spyed some denim in his cage and I said hey look he wanted his daddy's jeans to sleep on so he pulled them in his cage! Well to my horror he pulled them through his cage and proceeded to shred them into a waist band with hula hay hanging from the waist. So if you want to hear more funny stories of Tucker aka the blonde bomber leave some feedback and I will share the stories of him and his mighty labness
