Among pet dogs, Border Collies are the smartest, and Golden Retrievers also have high intelligence proportional to their looks. Golden Retrievers are also present among the sacred guide dogs because they are not playful and can care about their owner's feelings, which makes them better at looking after the blind. Many people also want to keep them as family companions. In many households, Golden Retrievers are common. Generally, people like this quietly loyal and selfless pet dog. So how should Golden Retrievers be trained?

Training a Golden Retriever should of course start from puppyhood so that it values the owner's commands. When the Golden Retriever is just born, you can take it out for walks, but if the owner lives in a high-rise building, do not let it climb stairs on its own. The owner should carry it because if the puppy accidentally falls from a height, it could develop a fear. When the puppy is four months old, you can put a leash on it and go for walks together, gradually increasing the distance each time to train the puppy’s physical fitness. Before the Golden Retriever turns one year old, do not let it play with other pets because Golden Retrievers have a gentle nature and can easily be bullied by other pets. Puppies are also more prone to injuries before full development.

After the Golden Retriever reaches one year old, it grows up, and the owner should let it exercise regularly. Since Golden Retrievers grow quickly, their nutrition can easily become unbalanced, so the owner should frequently supplement their nutrition. This breed likes to swim, and owners can swim together with their Golden Retriever, which can also enhance their bond. However, after swimming, the dog's fur must be thoroughly dried, and the ears cleaned. The pool water may have a high salt content, which can harm the dog’s health if exposed too much to salt.

Golden Retrievers are gentle pets and very loyal to their owners. They also want to receive recognition from their owners. Owners should express their affection by gently stroking the Golden Retriever's forehead, which will give the dog plenty of enthusiasm toward the owner. Since Golden Retrievers are relatively quiet dogs, owners can help expand their social skills by letting them interact more with other pets and with the owner's friends so the Golden Retriever does not get bored.
