Golden retriever is not just one of the cutest but also one of the most intelligent breed of dogs.
Though, they might take a little bit of time to train a golden retriever breed, once they have learned the basics, they can be the most obedient of all dogs you might have come across.
You should also know that reward training works better with this breed that leash training. It is, therefore, advisable to treat your dog every time it follows your command and it is also important to let your dog know that there is treat waiting for him, if he does as you command.
The key to golden retriever training lies in teaching him the basic commands of sit, stay, lie etc.
The commands become more important when you are crate training your puppy. You not only need to lead you puppy to the crate by placing his favorite toys in the crate but also make him stay there even when you are leaving.
This will not only keep him safe while you are gone but also prevent him from creating any kind of nuisance around a lot of guests.
You can start by taking your puppy to its crate after telling him that you are taking him to his home at specific times such as when you receive guests or when you are leaving home.
When your puppy realizes what it means to go home, he will start finding his way to his crate when you ask him to go home.
It is advisable to start with the go command and once your pet knows the direction to go in, you can follow him and direct him to the crate.
Make sure you teach your dog the stay command as soon as it gets into the crate, so that he does not follow you when you return from the place where the crate is kept.
You should follow up these commands with other commands such as lie or sleep, which will make sure that your puppy will stay in the crate and stay there till you ask him to come out.
