Raising dogs has become one of the most common things people do today. With pets being so cute and, more importantly, obedient and warm-hearted, raising dogs has become an entertainment way for young people nowadays. No matter what kind of dog we raise, we need to train them. We must promptly stop some bad habits in their life and give them the correct guidance and training methods. Golden Retrievers are no exception. Although they are smart dogs, they still need our training. Among the training tasks, the most worrisome one is potty training the Golden Retriever. If we can do this well, it will significantly reduce many troubles for the owners in daily life.

How to Train Golden Retriever for Urination and Defecation

First, when training a Golden Retriever, we must start from an early age. We need to train all its habits as early as possible to cultivate good habits quickly. During training, owners must also be patient because training a dog to learn something is not an overnight matter but a gradual and repetitive process.

Second, we need to prepare a fixed spot for the Golden Retriever to use the toilet. When the Golden Retriever feels the urge to urinate, we need to guide it to the designated spot. Of course, when the dog wants to go, we must guide it timely. If you do not know when the Golden Retriever needs to go to the toilet, observe daily the signs such as the dog circling or looking around the environment to sniff before finally relieving itself. These are all details indicating they need to go.

Third, if the dog urinates or defecates anywhere in life, we need to stop it immediately and scold the dog lightly to indicate this behavior is wrong. Then take the dog to the correct place to toilet. At the same time, we need to clean the soiled area promptly and use 84 disinfectant to cover the smell, so the dog will not return to the same spot to toilet. Of course, we can also spray attractants where we want them to toilet and spray again at their fixed toilet area. Additionally, placing newspapers where they often soil and then moving the dried newspapers to the toilet area can encourage the dog to follow the scent to the correct spot.

The above are some small tips for training a Golden Retriever to go to the toilet. Remember, when training, try not to hit the dog. This can scare the dog psychologically, and it will be unwilling to cooperate with future training, which is not good for further daily training.
