Golden Retrievers (details introduction) are very good companion dogs with gentle and steady personalities, not nervous. They are large but very gentle, known as the warm men of the dog world. Don’t be fooled—they are complete little devils when they are puppies. Training effect is best when the dog is 3-4 months old. Today, the editor introduces what methods there are to train Golden Retrievers and how to train them.

Training Golden Retriever

When your dog follows your command, don’t forget to give a reward, such as a treat. But please don’t reward it every time, or it will get confused and won’t know when it can get a reward, which will affect future training.

If the dog does something it shouldn’t, owners should correct it timely. Never hold a grudge afterward; dogs don’t have much memory and don’t know where they went wrong. If you blame it afterward, it will get confused and lose trust in you over time, becoming rebellious when growing up. Even if correcting timely, scold when needed, tell it what is forbidden, and clearly point out what it did wrong so it can grow well.

Training Golden Retriever

Owners need patience. If your Golden Retriever has resistance to something, don’t be impatient. Slowly encourage it gently and talk to it quietly to help it calm down gradually.

Training doesn’t succeed at once; proceed step by step and train multiple times with it. Only continuous training will help it remember more clearly.

Commands during training must be consistent. For example, if it bites something, immediately stop it by saying “No” or “Don’t,” and use these commands to stop any unwanted behavior until it stops upon hearing them.

Training Golden Retriever

Combine rewards and punishments. When it meets your training requirements, promptly reward it by petting or saying “Good job.” When scolding, be stern. After scolding, if it behaves well, you need to praise it—clear distinction between reward and punishment is essential.
