Golden Retriever (detailed introduction)

　　The Golden Retriever is the legendary guide dog, so a dog that can meet this standard must be very smart. Even the smartest dogs are trained, so what is the best time to train a Golden Retriever? Generally, 3-4 months is the best time to train a Golden Retriever puppy.
　　1. Why is 3-4 months considered the best time to train a Golden Retriever puppy?
　　Generally, Golden Retriever puppies under 3 months are not suitable for training, especially those 1-2 months old. It is better to start training Golden Retriever puppies after 3-4 months.
　　1. At this time, the Golden Retriever puppy is more robust, with stronger bones, and vaccination is nearly complete. They are also more adapted to the new environment.
　　2. This period is the best opportunity to cultivate good training habits in the Golden Retriever. After bringing a Golden Retriever puppy home for the first time, do not rush to play or train immediately, as the puppy could easily get sick. The correct approach is to first settle the puppy in a suitable place to rest quietly, allowing it to develop trust in its new home. This period usually lasts about a week, after which you can begin to familiarize the puppy with its surroundings and establish daily routines.
　　3. It is best for the same person to be responsible for the puppy’s diet, including monitoring appetite and understanding the puppy's regular bowel movements.
　　2. The first half year is a good growth period for Golden Retrievers
　　3-6 months is the golden growth period for Golden Retriever puppies. At this time, puppies mainly do "eat, drink, defecate, urinate, sleep, and play". Do not force the Golden Retriever to learn any skills. The key is to make the puppy happy, which benefits its growth and development.
　　3. After 6 months, the growth rate of Golden Retrievers begins to slow down
　　After 6 months, the growth rate of Golden Retrievers slows down. Feeding intervals can be lengthened, and you can take the puppy for walks in the morning and evening. However, the walk should not be too long, ideally within half an hour.
　Suggestion: If you pay too much attention to the Golden Retriever's physique, you can control the food amount slightly when it is an adult, feeding once in the morning and once in the evening.
