Are You Struggling to Get Your Labrador’s Attention Once You’re Out the Door?
You’re putting in the effort. You’ve tried treats, toys, and tips from social media.
But your Lab still ignores you the moment you step outside?
So, Why Isn’t Your Labrador Listening?
Here’s What’s Actually Holding You Back — and How This Program Fixes It:
HERE’S WHAT MOST LABRADOR OWNERS MISS:
You Don’t Need More Control and Obedience – You Need More Communication, Connection and Trust
The Shift That Got Our Labs Listening – and for the Labrador Owners Who Thought Nothing Would Work?
With years of experience with breeding and working with Labrador retrievers I understand firsthand how this breed brings a unique mix of enthusiasm, energy, and heart.
From distracted family pets to high-drive working dogs—I’ve seen how Labradors present a unique challenge… and an incredible opportunity.
Their energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm can feel overwhelming without the right guidance—but when you understand how to work with their natural instincts, they become some of the most focused, loyal, and responsive dogs you’ll ever meet.
Here is what experience has taught me:
Most Labrador owners see distractions as the enemy—but the truth is, distractions are actually opportunities. They’re moments where you can become your dog’s true partner, teaching them when and how to tune into you, even in the most exciting situations. Instead of fighting distractions, this is where real focus and connection are built.
Your Labrador isn’t ignoring you because they’re »stubborn« or »too difficult«.
Labradors are anything but stubborn—they’re just driven by their instincts and the environment around them. When they ignore you, it’s because they haven’t been shown how to focus on you in the presence of all those distractions.
The truth is, Labradors are social, eager-to-please dogs who want to listen and engage. But they need to be taught how to see you as their partner—someone worth tuning into—even when the world is full of exciting smells, sights, and sounds.
With the right plan, patience, and an understanding of your Labrador’s nature, every Lab can become an unstoppable “everywhere dog” – calm, focused, and joyful no matter where life takes you.
💛 They’re trying to navigate the world the only way they know how — through curiosity, excitement, and instinct.
When your Labrador pulls toward a smell or chases a moving leaf, it’s not personal. It’s not “bad behavior.” It’s biology. They’re a breed designed to work in motion, to seek, retrieve, and stay engaged with the world around them.
But here’s the good news: none of that means they can’t learn to focus.
It just means they need your trust, your guidance, and a relationship that fulfills them.
Your Role Isn’t to Correct. Your Role is to Connect.
Don’t Wait for Calm — Create It
Turn your Lab’s wild energy into joyful cooperation with short, daily focus sessions.
Here is the real truth about your Labrador
If your Lab struggles to focus around distractions, you’re not dealing with a disobedient dog.
You have a Labrador who is wired to follow their nose, explore their environment, and get excited about everything. And unless you’ve taught them how to handle all that stimulation and still stay connected to you, they’re just doing what comes naturally.
But here’s the shift:
It’s not about controlling those instincts — it’s about connecting through them.
With the right approach, you’ll stop fighting your Lab’s instincts — and start using them to your advantage. This challenge helps you understand what truly drives your dog, respond to their emotional needs, and build lasting focus through trust, play, and real connection — not pressure or correction.
Through a clear, proven, and Labrador-friendly system built on trust, communication, and understanding — our clients see changes in their relationships with their Lab.
From Chaos to Connection — Here’s What You’ll See Unfold
Because training your Lab should feel good and rewarding for the both of you.
Here Is What Happens When You Work With Your Labrador, Not Against Them:
From “Training” to True Connection
This isn’t about obedience. You’ll learn how to build trust, spark focus, and create a relationship where your Lab checks in with you — not out of habit, but because they actually want to.
From Wild Instincts To Playful Cooperation
Instead of chasing every scent, bird, or breeze, your Lab learns to direct that natural drive toward you. You’re not shutting them down — you’re showing them where to channel their energy.
From Dragging You Down the Street to Walking in Sync
No more bracing yourself every time you clip on the leash. As your Lab begins to feel connected and engaged, they naturally start matching your pace, checking in with you, and treating walks as a shared experience — not a solo adventure. It’s not just about loose leash walking — it’s about walking together.
Your Lab’s Big Energy Becomes Their Superpower
That over-the-top joy, the constant movement, the tail that never stops — it’s not a flaw, it’s your Lab being exactly who they’re meant to be. When you learn to work with their natural enthusiasm instead of fighting it, their energy becomes your biggest training asset — not something you have to manage or tone down.
From Control to Trust — The Shift That Changes Everything
This is where the breakthrough happens. When you stop trying to manage your Labrador with bribes, commands, or constant correction — and start building real trust — everything shifts. Your dog begins to listen, not out of habit or fear, but because they feel safe, seen, and truly connected to you. This is the moment training turns into partnership, and frustration turns into flow.
This Is Where Everything Starts to Change
Say goodbye to yelling, chasing, and tugging. Say hello to walks filled with trust and focus.
Is This Course for You?
If you recognize yourself in any of these… you’re in the right place.
You Fell for the “Labradors Are Easy to Train” Line — and Now You’re Living With a Hyper, Independent Hurricane
Labs love working with you — but they don’t come trained out of the box. Their energy, social nature, and drive need direction. If you’re overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and unsure how to get through to them, this course will give you the clarity and connection you’ve been missing.
You’re Done Waiting, Guessing, and Hoping It’ll Fix Itself
You’ve told yourself it’s just a phase. That you’ll “get serious next week.” That your Lab will calm down eventually. But deep down, you know what you really need is a clear plan — and the motivation to finally stick with it. This course gives you both, so you can stop making excuses… and start making progress.
You Want to Understand Your Dog, Not Just Control Them
You’re not looking for a robot that blindly follows commands — you want a dog who gets you, and who feels truly seen and safe with you. This course helps you uncover what motivates your Lab, how they process the world, and how to build real trust. Because lasting focus doesn’t come from control — it comes from connection.
You Care About Your Dog’s Happiness as Much as Your Own
You want more than obedience — you want a happy, well-adjusted dog who feels safe, fulfilled, and connected to you. Because that’s when the magic happens.
You’ve Tried It All — But Nothing Sticks With Your Labrador
You’ve tried the tips, watched all the YouTube videos, and followed advice that seemed to work for other dogs. But your Labrador still isn’t responding the way you hoped — and it’s not your fault. Most training advice is too generic to account for the unique energy, instincts, and emotional needs of this breed. Labradors need a different kind of approach — one that taps into their drive, builds real trust, and turns their natural enthusiasm into focus. That’s exactly what this course is built to do.
You’re Tired of the Struggle — You’re Ready to Feel That Bond and Trust
You’ve been there — your Lab pulling like a freight train while strangers stare, or taking off down the trail as you call their name in vain. It’s frustrating, draining, and yes, a bit embarrassing. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. This course gives you practical, proven tools to replace chaos with connection — so you can walk with confidence and truly enjoy the dog by your side.
You’re Not Here for Perfection — You’re Here for Partnership and Connection
Because deep down, it’s not just about commands or good behavior. It’s about feeling chosen. You want a bond built on trust — the kind where your Lab looks to you, even when the world is wild around them. You want to be more than their handler — you want to be their person. This course helps you build that kind of relationship — one rooted in understanding, not just obedience.

Here’s What You’ll Get Inside the Course:
What Makes This Course So Unique?
Let’s be honest—there’s no shortage of dog training advice out there. But if you’ve ever tried the generic “one-size-fits-all” approach with your Labrador, you already know: it doesn’t work.
This isn’t just a training plan — it’s a complete shift in how you build a relationship with your Labrador.
Many dog training programs focus on controlling behavior.
This one focuses on something far more powerful: connection.
Labradors aren’t motivated by fear or pressure — in fact, they often shut down under punishment or force. What drives them? Oxytocin-fueled bonding, social interaction, and the joy of working with you, not for you.
That’s exactly what this course taps into.
We don’t rely on bribes, harsh corrections, or obedience drills pulled from a one-size-fits-all handbook. Instead, we show you how to turn your dog’s natural wiring — their energy, playfulness, people-loving heart — into your biggest advantage.
This is focus training that actually feels good for both of you.
Whether your Lab pulls toward every distraction, checks out the moment you step outside, or seems more interested in sniffing than listening, this program gives you a step-by-step system to shift their attention naturally — through trust, not tension.
- 🧠 How to activate your Lab’s natural desire to cooperate through relationship-based training
- 💞 Why connection produces better results than correction — especially in oxytocin-driven breeds like Labs
- 🎯 How to replace reactivity with responsiveness, and frustration with focus
- 🐾 Simple, fun sessions that build lifelong habits in the real world — not just your living room
This isn’t about controlling your Labrador.
It’s about helping them feel safe, seen, and successful with you — even in a world full of distractions.
And when that happens? You don’t just get a well-behaved dog.
You get a true partner for life.
Still Wondering if This Is for You?
If you’ve read this far, your Lab is worth it — and you already care enough to make a change.
Why Learn From Me?
Because I’ve walked the Labrador path — and I still do. When it comes to understanding Labradors — their energy, their instincts, their heart —
I don’t just teach it. I live it.
My name is Živa — I’m a Labrador Retriever breeder, Search & Rescue dog handler, and a devoted Lab lover. I also run a dog training school in Slovenia, where I work hands-on with dogs and their owners. This real-world experience shapes everything I share here at the Labrador Retriever Academy.
But most importantly, I’m someone who has shared her life with high-drive, enthusiastic Labradors — the kind that are as lovable as they are overwhelming.
Over the years, I’ve learned from some of the most respected names in the dog training and behavior world, blending their knowledge with my hands-on experience. But my education didn’t stop there — and it never will. I believe that to truly help dogs and their people, a trainer must stay curious, keep learning, and always evolve. Ongoing education is a big part of who I am and what I bring to every training plan I create.
Still, nothing has taught me more than my own incredibly challenging dog — the one who didn’t fit the typical “easy-going ” label. She pushed me to question everything I thought I knew, to dig deeper, and to develop better, more compassionate, and more effective ways to train. That experience changed everything — and it continues to shape how I teach today.
What truly drives me is a deep passion for letting dogs be dogs in a human world — and helping them thrive with all the demands we place on them. I believe dogs deserve more than just obedience; they deserve to be understood.
And that’s especially true for Labradors, a breed I care deeply about.
That’s why I’m a strong believer in breed-specific training.
Not all dogs are the same — they come with different instincts, energy levels, and drives. And when we recognize and respect that, we unlock better results and a deeper bond. With training designed specifically for Labradors, you can reach your goals faster, with more joy, and less frustration.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, like your Labrador just isn’t listening or is too easily distracted — I’ve been there. And I created this course so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Because in my world, training isn’t about controlling your dog — it’s about understanding them and building a partnership rooted in trust, play, and connection.

Your journey matters. And we stand behind it, every step of the way.
This Course Isn’t for Everyone — And That’s Okay
We care deeply about Labs and the people who love them. But to be honest, this program isn’t the right fit for every dog owner. Here’s how to know if it’s not for you:
If you think yelling, yanking, or punishment are the way to “fix” a dog, this isn’t the place for you. Labrador Retrievers thrive on trust, not fear. Our approach is kind, consistent, and partnership-based — and it only works if you’re willing to be gentle, even when it’s hard.
If you believe your Lab is just “too stubborn,” “too wild,” or “too far gone” to learn — and you’re not willing to try a new approach — this course won’t help. I believe in Labs. But belief is a two-way street.
There’s no magic wand here. If you’re looking for overnight obedience without showing up for your dog daily, this course may frustrate you. Real results come from real commitment — and I’ll be here to guide you every step of the way.
