Basic Puppy Commands
Golden Retriever Puppy Training: Are You Training Your Dog Everyday
Obtaining positive results from golden retriever puppy training can be a tough one if you are not patient and consistent enough to train your puppy. Not all pups can pick up commands quickly. Some may take a few days perhaps even weeks before seeing a young pup obey a specific command with confidence. And even if a pup has been effectively trained, that doesn’t suggest that training must end right there and then. He learns new stuff everyday and as owner, it is your role to decide if he needs to retain what he learned or train him to unlearn disagreeable behaviors he learned along the way.
If you have a new puppy, it helps if dog training takes place everyday. Housebreaking and basic obedience should be taught everyday to mold his young mind to show behaviors acceptable by humans. When training your dog, deal with one command at a time. For example if you want him to come, sit or stay on command, you never need to pressure yourself as well as your dog to learn all those commands in one day. You can work with the come command today then train him how to sit the next day. Or tackle the come command every morning and a different command during afternoons to prevent boredom for doing the same task over and over again. If he already knows how to obey basic obedience like come, sit or stay, work towards increasing the length of time before releasing him or increase the range between you and your dog. After training the basic and the most important lessons, you can start teaching him different tricks like play-dead, rollover and others.
Walking should be done everyday as well! Daily walks prevent boredom and associated behavior concerns at the same time helps you remain physically healthy.
While it is not advised for old dogs to do strenuous activities anymore, basic obedience still needs to be reinforced.
