The best training period for Golden Retriever puppies is between 3-6 months of age, and training should start with lifestyle habits and temperament. For example, training the Golden Retriever to eat, sleep, and eliminate in fixed places, developing habits like grooming, brushing teeth, and trimming nails, and helping it establish a friendly attitude towards humans and other pet companions.

　　Owners should not use rods or sticks when training Golden Retrievers. During training, the owner should clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. Do not push or pull the dog forcefully, nor should the dog be insulted or beaten arbitrarily. Avoid repeating commands excessively. Of course, at the beginning of training, Golden Retrievers may be inattentive, uncooperative, or reluctant, but the owner should remain calm and patient in coaching; after some time, the dog will become increasingly cooperative.

　　Training methods for Golden Retrievers can include mechanical repetitive training, food incentive methods, or using toys and other external objects to assist with training. Generally, at the early stage, since the Golden Retriever cannot understand the owner's commands, the owner needs to teach the training content hand-in-hand. When training skills such as fetching, catching flying discs, and following commands, relevant auxiliary objects are needed. For example, flying discs, leashes, dog toys, etc.

　　During the training process, owners should also pay attention to stimulating the dog's enthusiasm for training by providing appropriate rewards each time the dog completes training content. For example, food, gentle petting by the owner, and praise are good forms of reward. Owners need to use this method to motivate the dog’s interest in training to ensure normal completion.
