Beauty and intelligence is exemplified by the Golden Retriever.
This breed has not only elegance but the brains to quickly learn new tasks.
Patience should be your guide, never the less, particularly if you are teaching your Goldie that go against your dog's nature, or if he is slow in gaining a new routine.
Learn the best way to communicate with your Golden Retriever by going through a regular obedience class.
The leash method of obedience training can have a negative impact on a Goldie's fine temperament, so it is recommended that you use the Rewards Method.
Goldie's respond excellently to positive interaction, so always pet and compliment your dog when he obeys your commands.
Using verbal commands are best for Golden Retrievers for they learn them very quickly.
It is easiest to start with the 'sit' command.
When you Goldie 'sits' reward him.
When he learns that he will be rewarded for obeying commands he will have an incentive to obey.
After your Golden Retriever has learned to 'sit', then you can proceed to other commands you want him to learn, such as 'lie down'.
And remember, always reward obedience.
The next set of commands will use a leash, but only as a tool to let you animal know further what you want.
'Go' and 'Stop' can be learned with a loose leash for 'go' and a tightened leash for 'stop'.
Remember to reward and pet your Goldie for obeying.
It is recommended that harder commands such as 'stay' are taught further in your dogs obedience training.
Teach only one command at a time so you don't confuse your dog.
A confused dog can't correctly understand and obey.
Complicated commands should be taught only after you and your dog are firmly grounded with the basic commands.
While teaching a new command, remember to run through the old ones so that your Goldie won't forget the older ones, or worse yet, so he won't confuse an old command with a new one.
