Training your Golden Retriever should start right away, with good puppy training. This document will show you how to begin.
Retriever pups are adorable and love to play. In this youthful and wiggly stage of your puppie's life, you will need to start off training. Your dog is a child, and although he may be distractible, but he can learn swiftly at this time. This is the time to build well known routines that will help you all through your training, as your puppy grows.
Bringing Home Baby.
Golden Retriever training should begin once you get the pet home, by making sure he knows where his water and food are, where he'll visit the bathroom, and where he'll sleep. This is also the best time to start educating your dog what times during the day are appropriate for sleeping. If your own daytime and evening schedule is a steady plan, there is a greater chance that you could teach your puppy to be energetic mainly when you are.
The World is a Chew Plaything.
Your Retriever puppy training will need to address your pup's normal love of eating. Offer appropriate toys for your puppy to munch, make sure he isn't tearing them apart and eating any harmful material, and try to puppy-proof your house as well as possible. In case your puppy dog starts to chew something improper, handle poor behavior right away -- often a distinct "No!" will do throughout your dog obedience training, as long as you are consistent in dealing with any difficulties. Praise good behavior immediately with pats and hugs. Your puppy may give in to temptation a few times during this period, but when you keep up your constant training, he will probably learn fast.
About the Leash.
You may also begin leash training at this time of your Retriever puppy instruction. Start around the home, to be sure your puppy is accustomed and comfortable with the leash prior to taking him out in public. You can let him become accustomed to his training collar and leash in the house or in the backyard. Once he is accustomed to these new objects, try picking the leash up and calling your dog's name. When he comes, reward him right away so he will know he's being a good boy! If you start in the house and then take him into the backyard, soon he will connect the leash with his outside time, and be desperate to obey.
