Dog Training Basics

Obtaining positive results from golden retriever puppy training can be a hard one if you’re not patient and consistent enough to teach your puppy. Not all pups can pick up commands instantly. Some may take a few days or perhaps weeks before seeing a young pup follow a specific command confidently. And even if a pup has been successfully trained, that does not necessarily mean that training should conclude right there and then. He discovers something new each day and as owner, it is your responsibility to decide if he needs to keep what he discovered 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 must be taught everyday to mold his young mind to exhibit behaviors acceptable by humans. When training your canine friend, tackle one command at a time. For example if you want your pet to come, sit or stay on command, you never need to pressure yourself as well as your dog to master all those commands in a single day. You can work with the come command today then teach 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 duration before releasing him or expand the distance between you and your dog. After training the fundamental and the most crucial lessons, you can start teaching him several tricks like play-dead, rollover and others.

Walking should be done daily also! Daily walks prevent boredom and associated behavior troubles at the same time helps you remain physically healthy.

While it’s not at all a good idea for old dogs to do rigorous activities anymore, basic obedience still needs to be reinforced.
