So you just got a puppy and you don't know the first thing about golden retriever care. Don't panic. Golden retriever puppy training is not difficult at all with just a few tips. Your first priority will be house training your new puppy. You will want to start with paper training to limit the mess of those times when you puppy can't hold it any longer and you are out of the house. Then you'll shift to outdoor training.
The objective of paper training is to teach your dog to use the bathroom on paper in a certain area of the house. Start out in a place not too close to you're dog's eating area. No one wants to eat near their "potty". Most owners choose the kitchen or bathroom because they're easy-to-clean places. When you've chosen your area, lay down several layers of paper so that you know the bottom layers will be dry when your dog decides to use these.
Start off by staying in the same room with your puppy when he goes to the bathroom. Be sure that he uses the paper and remove a few top sections when he's finished. Instead of putting clean layers on top, replace the layers underneath the clean remaining sections. This is really critical because you want to leave some of the scent intact. Doing so helps your puppy relocate and remember where he should go to the bathroom inside.
An all-outdoor dog or even an indoor/outdoor dog, should begin training outside as soon as she arrive at their new home. Let your dog become familiar with the yard by roaming around the place. Even if your puppy starts getting bored, keep her outside until she goes to the bathroom in an acceptable place.
The next step in potty training is all about you. The owner needs to alway remember to clean up. Not only will you want to keep your own yard clean, but it's particularly important to clean up public places after your dog. Many communities have laws regarding cleaning up after pets. Cleaning up, like the rest of our training, is really simple and not as messy as you might expect. Carry a plastic bag or a "pooper scooper" with you on walks and properly dispose of it when you get home.
Be mindful of the fact that puppies need to go the bathroom six times a day , at most. It's best to try and take him out every three or four hours to play around outside and to relieve himself. Also, take him out for a walk after each meal. Meals cause extra pressure on the stomach and bladder which can be uncomfortable. So, don't let too much time pass between meals and walks.
You and your puppy are going to make some house training mistakes. Don't be too terribly surprised if your new puppy doesn't catch on immediately. For a new dog, potty training isn't and instant thing. Learning what they're being asked to do will take some time. During that period, try not to overly punish your puppy.
If they've only learned how to go outside, then don't get on to them if they can't hold it through the night. Remember that as little as he is, if you discipline him in the morning for something he did hours before, chances are he won't remember and he won't know why he's getting in trouble. If you do catch him "doing his business" where he's not supposed to, then a good stern "no" should do the job. Whatever you do, don't rub your pups nose in his fresh mess. He won't understand and you'll just have more to clean up. You can offer your puppy the best golden retriever care, just by following these simple training tips.
