Golden Retrievers are a very gentle and lovable breed, deeply loved by people, and many choose to raise them. Generally speaking, it is best to choose puppies for raising Golden Retrievers, as the training effect will be better, but some friends buy Golden Retrievers that are bigger, even reaching six months old. At this time, how to train them becomes a troublesome problem for many dog owners. So, how to train a 6-month-old Golden Retriever? Below we will share some training methods.

1. How to train at 6 months

How to train a 6-month-old Golden Retriever? Actually, overall training a six-month-old Golden Retriever isn’t much different from training a Golden Retriever puppy, except you need to pay a bit more attention to the amount of food. Choose regular and healthy dog food, and control the feeding amount. An adult Golden Retriever’s weight is best kept within 70 jin (about 35 kg). If it’s only six months old, then it should be a bit lighter, because if a Golden Retriever is too fat, it’s bad for health, especially putting pressure on joints and the heart and lungs.

2. Avoiding bad habits

Regarding food, we need to avoid developing bad habits in the Golden Retriever. Some owners like to indulge their dog’s desires. Once the dog protests when not given food, if the owner gives in to the dog’s demands by feeding it, this will undoubtedly form a bad habit. Later, the dog will refuse to obey the owner by protesting, so this point must be avoided.

3. Leash walking training

You need to let the dog get familiar with the collar and leash, and even let it know that this is an indispensable part of life. Because a six-month-old Golden Retriever is already quite strong, when taking it out for walks, be sure to pull the leash well. Once you find it trying to run around, immediately pull the leash to let it know this behavior is unacceptable. The effect may not be good at first, but just be patient and repeat a few times.

The above are the methods on how to train a 6-month-old Golden Retriever. Have you learned them? Actually, when Golden Retrievers are six months old, they can still be trained to become obedient through training. Although it's past the prime training period, as long as you remain patient, good training results can still be achieved.
