Golden Retriever Puppy Training – Tips For Puppy Behaviour And Training
Author : Nik Andrews
One of the main reasons the Golden Retriever breed was created was because a puppy picked up commands extremely quickly during training. Lord Tweedmouth in Scotland was looking for dogs that would be easy to train to retrieve game when he was on his hunting trips. And this is why he specifically bred them for their ideal temperament and skills. Goldens are very easily trained and basic command training should be taught at an early age. Very young puppies can be a bit mischievous and wild but, but once they are trained, are excellent at understanding and obeying commands. All they want from people is love and approval and they will work very hard to get it.
There are numerous methods of Golden Retriever puppy training. An owner can do it themselves or enrol their dog in an obedience school. Golden Retrievers can be trained to do many specialized jobs. Due to their keen sense of smell, they can be trained to seek out narcotics or other scent-based search and rescue. They are very adept at performing stunts, which is why you quite often see them on television and in films. The blind, disabled, and elderly can use goldies as assist dogs when trained to do these necessary jobs. These are impressive skills, but a foundation must be laid first with basic training.
The goal of basic training is to set up boundaries that the dog recognizes as acceptable behaviour. During this time, owners should work to establish a rapport and bond between the dogs and themselves while establishing that it is not acceptable to chew the furniture, bark incessantly, or jump up on people. Some common command words are “heel” or “come,” “down,” “sit,” or “stay.” Mastering one command before learning another is most effective. This is achieved by saying the command and constantly rewarding them when they correctly comply with it. Golden Retriever puppy training is a step-by-step process with much repetition. Shorter, relaxed, and fun lessons are more effective than long sessions.
Disobedience should be addressed but not cruelly. Dogs should not be punished for something they were never taught not to do. In addition, discipline should be immediate; a punishment later will only confuse the puppy. One form of punishment is short kennel or corner “time-out” followed by a pat of affection. Others can include a strong vocal reprimand and harsh look or a squirts of water from a spray bottle in the dogs face. Hitting is not appropriate for Golden Retriever puppy training and should never be used to punish a dog. They are loving, very responsive animals and when trained properly, will be an obedient, delightful friend to their owners for many years to come.
