20 9:34:45

Question

Bruno
When do the sensory organs of the labradors develop... my lab is a month old now... a black lab.... he does not listen to when i call his name... also please give me some tips about training him some good habits for doing natures call.

Answer
Sensory organs develop during neo-natal development and during the first 4 weeks of life.

Did you actually mean the puppy you have is only 4 weeks old?  Or that you have had him one month now?  

If indeed the puppy is 4 weeks, you can't expect ANYTHING from it.  

I would expect a 10 week old puppy to start understanding it's name and handle being house trained.
