Hottest Golden Retriever Training Tips

Fundamental Golden Retriever dog training starts as soon as you bring your new puppy home. They are very intelligent dogs, so training them is usually a breeze. Extremely personable, even with people they are unfamiliar with, you would be hard pressed to find a kinder, gentler dog.

Golden Retriever Puppy House Training Tips

The most important thing to remember when house training puppies is not to punish them for having accidents in the house. Be patient with your Golden Retriever pup. Golden Retriever Puppies need to go potty every 2-3 hrs. If you are “lucky” enough to have caught your baby dog in the act of going potty in your home, clap your hands or make some other loud noise in order to interrupt their “business.” Rush them outside so they can finish up and then immediately praise them with “good boy,” or “good girl,” or whatever you prefer.  If they don’t got potty once you take them outside, don’t worry. Do not praise them or otherwise positively reinforce them, but don’t use punishment either. If you punish your puppy when they are not even sure what they did wrong, they will learn to be scared of you and it will not correct the behavior.

Best Ways to Stop a Dog from Shedding

Another common concern with Golden Retriever pups is getting them to stop shedding. Using a proper brush for your dog’s fur type, brush them for a few minutes a dog whenever possible. Luckily, Golden Retrievers are generally very fond of the water, (unlike some other breeds), so bathing them about two to four times a month is usually easy and helps stop dog shedding. Using a tape roller or other device to remove pet hair from your furniture as soon as possible helps prevent it from getting stuck in the upholstery.
