Golden retrievers are a popular breed of dogs. They are good looking and are quite intelligent. The breed is also popular because the dogs are very friendly and they show a lot of appreciation for human companionship. They are also good at taking instructions. The key is to start training golden retriever puppies as soon as they come into your care.
It is possible to train golden retriever puppies without using a professional trainer. Start the training right away. This way they can adjust to their new environment while learning good habits rather than letting them settle in and then try to break bad habits. Puppies that are at least 8 weeks old are able to take instruction.
Thanks to their friendliness, golden retrievers are easily trainable when training is done with affection. Affirming them with positive words and petting them lets them know that they have done a positive thing. They will do the action again and again to get rewarded again. Treating them with food is also a good way to reward them but minimally. This is one breed that packs on the pounds quite easily. Dogs should also not be trained to associate being fed with whether they behave or not.
You will find that these breed of puppies learn quite fast and they have the ability to learn a number of things at the same time. A good approach is to tackle the habits that the puppy comes with such as jumping, biting and chewing on things. These are not bad habits but the puppies need to learn what they can and cannot bite and chew on and bite.
Reinforce desired behavior by using words like no and off to remove them from furniture. Use a firm, if necessary high voice to get their attention and stop them from continuing with an undesirable action. Use the same stop words in the same tone and a happy, voice to praise them. Be consistent and the puppy will soon know the difference between actions that are good and those that are bad. Others in the household should have the same consistency.
One of the things you want to teach your puppy to do early is to sit. Toilet training should also be started right away. If you are consistent about this, there should be no accidents on the carpet and other places around the house. Keep a close eye on the puppy and direct it outside as soon as a leg starts to go up in readiness to relieve itself. The puppy will soon learn the right place to go.
A puppy should also get used to being cleaned from early on. Get into a routine about washing them down with pet shampoo, drying them and brushing down their fur. You will be able to see the beginnings of any pests like ticks or any kind of infection or disease and take care of it before it gets serious.
A lot of people fail to sufficiently commit themselves to train their golden retriever puppies. Then they end up with a badly behaved adult dog that they find a nuisance. Be committed, start with simple instructions and then move to more advanced ones. Another advantage of starting early is that a professional trainer can be brought in if the puppy does not take instructions. Train consistently and you will have a four-legged family member that gives you no problems.
