When we get our favorite pet, we all hope it has only one owner, and then start a series of training. For Golden Retrievers, which are relatively obedient and intelligent dogs, we might be reluctant to scold them in daily life because they are so warm-hearted and attentive. However, professional training is still needed when it comes to the Golden Retriever’s elimination, otherwise cleaning will be more troublesome. So today let's learn how to train a Golden Retriever puppy to urinate and defecate?

Generally, training a pet should start from an early age, and training a Golden Retriever should also begin with the puppy stage. For the puppy's elimination location, the owner can find a fixed spot for the puppy to eliminate or choose the bathroom. Usually, the puppy will want to eliminate about half an hour after eating, so the owner can note the timing and guide the puppy to go. Puppies also have some awareness; they will not eliminate where they sleep or eat, as this would affect their appetite.

When the puppy needs to eliminate, it will walk around sniffing the ground, showing it is searching for a place. Once the owner notices this, they can directly guide the puppy. Sometimes, for convenience, owners may let the puppy eliminate on newspapers. The owner can let the puppy get familiar with the smell of the newspaper. After training a few times, the puppy will look for the newspaper by itself and then eliminate on it consciously. As the puppy grows, this habit will gradually form, and the owner won't need to worry too much.

When training the puppy to eliminate, it may sometimes resist. The owner should pet the puppy’s head to reassure it, be patient in guiding, and avoid losing temper. With repeated training, it will become easier. When the puppy eliminates in the designated spot as required, the owner should give appropriate rewards so that the puppy experiences the pleasure of praise. This greatly improves the training effect, and gradually the puppy will get used to this way of elimination.
