Training of Golden
Retriever puppies, the first point to remember is their Teething
troubles. When the teeth are growing they lowe to chew stuff, anything
they can bite into. Golden puppies love to chew and this may sometime
prove to be expensive. Chew toys are the preferred mediums. However you
can keep some old socks filled with ice cubes in your freezer and give
it to your golden retriever whenever it gets into a chewing frenzy due
to pain of teething.
Have several socks filled with Ice cubes ready. Put a tight knot with
the ice cubes and keep them in the freezer. When ever required simply
take out the socks and give it to your puppy. Be watchful that your
golden puppy doesn’t chew through the socks and swallow the
ice cubes. This could lead to health problems.
Golden
Puppies love Digging
It is in the essential nature of the puppies to dig. Give your puppy a
space to dig in your yard. Otherwise they may dig through your floor,
couch or the bed. Don’t punish your puppies if their natural
instinct makes them damage your stuff. Give your Golden puppy a small
space in the yard with a treat in a specific spot so that it
doesn’t damage the entire yard. Make a sand box and put its
favorite toys and let it dig it out. Give the golden some praise
whenever it does it right. Once it start growing give your golden
retriever obedience classes to exercise more control over the digging
habit.
Leashes
Training of the Golden
No one likes to be leashed or chained least of all the golden
retriever. During leash training, a lot of people prefer to attach the
leash to the Golden then drag him in the direction they want him to go.
This isn’t the best way to train, as it often sends the wrong
signal to the puppy. Instead, you should first get your Golden puppy
used to the collar and the leash. You can do this by putting his collar
and leash on inside the house or outside in a fenced in area, so that
he can walk around and move about freely with the leash on, dragging it
alongside him.
Once you have given him some time, pick the leash up, and then start
calling him to you. Once he comes over to you, start praising him for
it, so he knows that he is on the right track. Always be patient when
leash training, as it will take some time for him to get used to it. If
you continue to praise him when he is doing it right and continue
giving him time to get used to the leash, you shouldn’t have
any problems.
These 3 tips can help a great deal when training your Golden Retriever
puppy. Golden puppies are great dogs, although you’ll need to
have a bit of patience with them. Even though they are very smart dogs,
it may take them time to learn. Once they start learning however - they
will become an integral part of your family and enjoyable antics of the
pup can be fun to watch.
