Started & Older Labs

If you're considering adding a loyal, well-trained companion to your home, our started and older Labs may be the perfect choice. These Labradors are not only affectionate and friendly but also come with the added benefit of advanced training. Let's explore why buying an older Lab can be a fantastic decision for your family. 

Why Choose an Older Lab?

Older English Labs offer several advantages over younger puppies. They are typically past the challenging stages of teething and housebreaking, which means less hassle for new owners. These dogs are usually calmer, making them an ideal choice for families with young children or for individuals looking for a companion who can easily integrate into a busy lifestyle. Moreover, older Labs have often been exposed to various environments, making them adaptable and well-socialized.

The Qualities of Started and Older Labs

Started Labrador Retrievers are younger dogs that have received basic training. At Gallivant Labradors, our started Labs for sale have undergone initial obedience training, making them responsive and easy to manage. These dogs are trained in essential commands such as sit, stay and come, and they are usually comfortable walking on a leash. This level of training ensures that they are well-behaved and ready to become a part of your family.

Older Labs, on the other hand, are more mature and often possess a calm demeanor. These dogs have usually been exposed to various environments and situations, making them less prone to anxiety and stress. Older Labs for sale from Gallivant Labradors are often perfect for families looking for a steady, reliable companion. Their mature nature also means they are typically well-socialized, making them excellent with children and other pets.

Advanced Manners Program

Our advanced manners program is designed to enhance the natural abilities of our Labs, ensuring they become the best companions possible. The goal of this program is to prepare the dog for success in your home. They have been through the same socialization and training as our Advanced Manners puppies. Our training teaches them essential skills like housebreaking, learning how to sleep comfortably in a crate and how to embrace and adapt to unfamiliar circumstances.

Specific skills taught in this program include: 

  • Advanced Obedience: Beyond basic commands, our Labs learn advanced commands and can perform them in various settings, so they are well-mannered in any situation.

  • House Training: Our Labs are trained to understand and adhere to household rules, making them easy to live with from day one.

  • Socialization: Exposure to different environments, people and other animals makes our Labs confident and well-adjusted.
