Nowadays, there are many dog lovers, and the fans of Golden Retrievers are quite numerous. It is a breed that everyone strongly supports, but many people do not fully understand it. Some even train blindly, which is actually very wrong. This is very bad for them and can easily cause some bad influences and habits. In serious cases, it may affect their healthy growth!

How to Train a Golden Retriever to Use the Toilet

Before training a Golden Retriever to go to the toilet, remember to thoroughly clean and remove the dog's scent. Also, the place where the Golden Retriever lives absolutely must not have the smell of urine; otherwise, it will affect the training later. The first step in toilet training a Golden Retriever is to train the dog to quickly understand the location of the toilet when it needs to go.

1. When the dog is eating, do not use newspapers that have been urinated on; instead, use clean newspapers, and place them on the bathroom floor. Bring the Golden Retriever to the toilet; it will often loudly say "pee pee poop poop." Close the bathroom door. If the Golden Retriever tries to come out or barks, do not feel soft-hearted. Start with 15 to 20 minutes, then open the door to see if there is feces or urine. If you cannot continue, say "pee pee poop poop" and close the door. Note: Next time, tell the Golden Retriever the slogan "pee pee poop poop." When the Golden Retriever hears this sound, it will know to do the elimination action.

2. After going out, if the Golden Retriever eliminates, even a little urine, you must highly praise it or prepare snacks to reward it. The Golden Retriever will remember that peeing in the toilet gets a compliment!

3. Once the training is successful, be patient! Continue the same actions for several weeks, which is more conducive to your training. Prepare the toilet and newspapers well. When the Golden Retriever might need to eliminate, it will know what to do. After a month, it will really develop the habit. The Golden Retriever will know to urinate on the newspaper. You can also place a large bowl under the newspaper so it won’t urinate randomly. As long as you cover the flush toilet with new newspapers, it will be very convenient.

4. If you find that the Golden Retriever goes to the toilet on its own to eliminate, you do not need to close the door or take the dog to the toilet. It has memorized and understands where to pee and poop.

The Golden Retriever is a well-proportioned, powerful, and lively breed characterized by stability and harmonious body parts. The legs are neither too long nor clumsy. Its expression is friendly, with a passionate, alert, and confident personality. The Golden Retriever was originally a retriever breed and is one of the most loyal and friendly family companions. It can also be trained as an excellent guide dog.

The Golden Retriever was bred in the 19th century by a Scottish monarch using yellow Labrador Retrievers, Irish Setters, and the now-extinct mixed Water Spaniel to create a golden-colored long-haired retriever. This breed gradually became the famous Golden Retriever. Golden Retrievers have strong swimming abilities and can retrieve prey from water to their owners.
