Tips For Training Golden Retriever Puppies

by Jaclyn Hurley

Golden retrievers are a much loved breed of dogs. They have such an appealing look and they have high intelligence. They also have an outgoing, friendly nature and real appreciation for human company. They are very obedient too so they take instructions quite well. What is important is to begin <A href="http://www.retrievertrainingcourse.com">training golden retriever puppies</A> sooner rather than later.

Golden retriever puppies can be trained without a professional trainer. It helps to start training right away when the puppy is still adjusting to its new environment rather than wait until it already develops habits and try to break them. Puppies aged at least 8 weeks old can 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.

These breed of puppies are very fast learners and they can grasp more than one thing at a time. One approach that works is to deal with the habits that the puppy comes with. Most of them will bite, chew on things and jump all over the place. The puppies have to know they cannot randomly bite and chew on everything on site.

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.

During early days, you should teach your puppy to sit. The right place should help themselves should also be taught as early as possible. After several weeks of consistent training, there should be no messes on the carpet on the house. Stay close to the puppy and direct it outside whenever you see the leg going up. Quickly shoo the puppy outside and they will know they need to go outside when they need to go.

Grooming is another habit that the puppy should be accustomed to. Right from the start, get them used to being shampooed, dried and brushed down. Do look them over as you clean them. Look for ticks and other pests and any other signs of infection. Taking care of symptoms early stems any problems before they become serious.

Many people do not dedicate enough time to train their golden retriever puppies. The result is usually an ill-mannered and problematic adult retriever. Start with simple things and then go on to more advanced things. Starting early is also good because you can enlist the help of a professional trainer if your efforts do not pay off. Be consistent and you will have a well behaved retriever that you and your family will be able to enjoy for years.
