Golden Retrievers (detailed introduction) have excellent obedience and very high intelligence. Compared to other dogs, Golden Retrievers are easier to train. They have gentle temperaments and learn quickly, able to rapidly understand and execute owner commands. Many people envy others who have a Golden Retriever that understands commands. Actually, with good training, your Golden Retriever can do it too. Today, the editor will guide you on how to train a Golden Retriever? Introduction to Golden Retriever training methods.

We often see on TV Golden Retrievers helping their owners by carrying vegetable baskets, slippers, and various items. Actually, this training is very simple; the most critical part is mutual understanding.

Use the toy the dog is most interested in for training. Throw the toy to the side; the dog will naturally run over to pick it up. At this time, issue the command "fetch," then call it back and give food and affection as a reward. After just a few times, the smart dog will understand that bringing the item back upon command results in treats. It is important that commands are clear and consistent to avoid confusing the dog.

A very interesting parent-child game: the owner makes a gun shape with the hand and says "ping." The dog very cooperatively responds by falling down—what a well-coordinated performance!

First, have the dog lie down, then gently hold its body to help it assume a "play dead" pose while giving the command "ping." If the dog obediently lies still, reward it. After repeating several times, the dog will lie down on its own without help.

Continuing the "play dead" advanced training, the dog rolls on the ground, acting playful and cute—it’s really fun.

After training "play dead," when the dog is lying down, push its body to roll on the ground while issuing the command "roll!" If the dog cooperates, reward it! This trick isn’t complicated but requires lots of practice. Be sure to train daily.

Want your little Golden Retriever to dance with you?

First, tease the dog with food or toys it is interested in to get it to stand by itself, then hold its front paws to help it stand steadily while giving the command "stand." If the puppy performs well, reward it with food and affection. Repeat several times daily, and soon the puppy will stand on its own.

This is a favorite routine of many dog trainers, and many friends have even upgraded the "counting training" to "math training."

The prerequisite is that the dog has already learned to bark. Have you noticed that when you make a barking hand gesture, the dog barks only once? Yes, counting training relies on this principle. Show two fingers and make the barking hand gesture twice. The dog will bark twice. If it does well, give a reward. Over time, just showing two fingers for the command will let the smart dog know to bark "twice." The same applies for other numbers accordingly.
