Labrador retrievers are intelligent, focused dogs, but they, especially when young, are also abundantly energetic. Because of this, you need to train them from an early age not to jump. As dogs that love food, reward-based training, such as the moderated usage of treats, is a great training method for this breed. Check out How to Train Labrador Retrievers for tips on tackling training sessions for this particular breed. For the jumping behavior, try to get the dog to shift into a sitting position if they attempt to jump on someone. Calmly but clearly discourage the behavior in a gentle manner and reward the dog as they obey. Read How to Stop a Dog from Jumping to handle this behavior.
