I watched the infomercial and am considering purchasing the training DVD’s and collar but want to make sure this works.

Heres the thing, I have a 9 month old labrador retriever, I work from my home and financially am very capable, but, I know nothing about this breed. Can anyone give me some information? I’ve heard their similiar to labs personality wise but Ive never owned one.
Thanks
Oh thank you Mimi, you just reminded me that I forgot to add that Id like intelligent responses only.

I enjoy playing rough with her. We wrestle on the ground and she will growl very loudly and wrestle back. She will mock bite me, never biting down or anything, but she’ll get my arm or hand in her mouth. She never gets near my face.
I think this rough play freaks my wife out because the dog gets really aggressive, even though it’s still obviously play. She’ll growl and bark, but all I have to do is hold my palms out and say “Brook, Calm” and she’ll calm down. Her tail is wagging the whole time during this rough play and she has never hurt me.
Lately, her growling is getting louder, but I just attribute it to the fact that she’s comfortable with the play, not because she’s getting more aggressive or anything.
Anyway, would a dog trainer say that this is dangerous or foolhardy? I’d hate to be training her by doing this and putting my family at risk.
