How do you discipline a puppy?

Yeah, but might that teach her to only listen if I have food to give her? My last dog would only learn new things if I had treats. Otherwise she wasn't interested.

No, you can always use a combination of treats AND praise, and after a while try using just praise from time to time! She IS a Lab, food will always be a priority for her, but it need not be her only priority!
