Training Techniques For Your Golden Retriever
One of the most intelligent and elegant dog breed is the Golden Retriever dog.
Very bright, they quickly learn new things.
Still, you should be patient while training your Goldie if you are teaching him something that goes against his natural instincts. that go against your dog’s nature, or if he is slow in gaining a new routine.~Always be patient with your Golden retriever breed, especially if you find your dog slow in grasping commands to activities that are not natural to him.}
Learn the best way to communicate with your Golden Retriever by going through a regular obedience class.
Your Goldie will learn best with the Rewards method of obedience instead of the leash training method since leash training can have a negative influence on this fine breed.
Goldie’s respond excellently to positive interaction, so always pet and compliment your dog when he obeys your commands.
Verbal commands are one of the best ways to train your Golden Retrievers. They respond to your voice eagerly.
Begin with the basic command of ‘sit’ and reward your dog for obeying. When he picks up that he will be rewarded for the ‘correct’ response, he will happily follow your commands.
Once your Goldie has learned ‘sit’ and that he will get a reward, you will find it easier to teach him another command like ‘down’, but you must continue using the reward technique.
A pair of commands, ‘Go’ and ‘Stop’ need to be taught next. You can use a leash to give facility to your dogs learning, by saying ‘Stop’ while tightening and shortening the leash. Losing the leash with the word ‘Go’ lets your dog know he has more freedom.
Your Golden Retriever will learn best if you teach only one command at a time. And you shouldn’t teach the harder commands until the easier ones are mastered.
When your Golden Retriever has learned the basic commands you can proceed to the more complicated commands, but don’t forget the original basic commands. You should always go through those commands when you teach a new one, first as reinforcement, and second, to make sure he isn’t confusing the new command with one of the older ones.
