GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPYretriever

Training the Golden Retriever puppy is not an easy task, essentially because they love to play and have fun. You will need to dedicate a lot of time to ensuring that they end up taking in your orders and they will become a charming dog. They are also a very sensitive dog:

• Avoid shouting and try to make them obey you using good words.
• During the first stage of their training - between 3 and 14 weeks - you should be very attentive with them; show yourself to be the leader.
• When they disobey or have some 'accident' when doing their business, stay calm and don’t get upset: this kind of behaviour confuses them and can make them doubt your leadership abilities.

Your golden retriever puppy has a fairly mischievous character, so don’t be surprised if you find slippers that have been chewed or hidden in a corner. To avoid this:

• Do not leave objects that are very important to you within their reach.
• Teach them to play with toys - balls, knots, toy bones etc. - so that they do not break or damage other items.

RELATIONSHIP WITH CHILDREN

They look like a cuddly toy and they have a playful and mischievous character, which turns them into an adorable pet for any child. But sometimes you need to protect this puppy from the littlest ones. As they lack a defence reflex, ensure that children do not pull their fur or their ears, because the puppy could end up getting injured. On the other hand they are a perfect playmate, because physical activity with the little ones goes down very well and they are always ready for some antics.
