QUINCY | Casey West says "search," and her black Lab, Oscar, charges at the command toward six plastic plant pots lined up on the floor of this North Florida prison.

Owning a Labrador comes with quite a few expectations. A Lab expects you to share every meal with him, play fetch until he's too tired to play, and wake up at dawn every day to go for a walk or run.

The Ojai-based National Disaster Search Dog Foundation has received a $1 million grant from the S.D. Bechtel Jr. Foundation to help create a national training center on 125 acres of land in Santa Paula.

Training a dog is not an easy task if you don’t spend your time with dedication and training may be failure if you don’t have patience. Do not punish your puppy harsh during training. This can create fear in your Labrador puppy by hearing training. Training differs when considering the age of your Labrador puppy.
