Golden Retriever Training Tips - Tip # 1
Is There Hope for my Golden Retriever?
By Susanne Trainor
"Sunny is a sweet dog. He's just a little naughty."
Oh, how I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard myself say this about our Golden Retriever! Now a well-behaved member of our family, he used to be quite the stinker! I wish I had some valuable Golden Retriever training tips when I first got Sunny! For those of you who have "stinkers" as beloved members of your families, read on.
You love your Golden Retriever. They are beautiful dogs (some would say the most beautiful.) But what do you do when you have tried everything you know to train your beauty into an obedient dog you can be proud of? As if dogs don't shed enough, now you are pulling your own hair out, looking for a solution!
If you are nodding your head, and thinking, "Yes - that is me! You are talking about my dog!" I have good news and bad news. The good news is that there may still be hope to change your dog's behavior. The bad news is you may discover you are not the one who can do it. Keep reading for Golden Retriever training tips and suggestions.
There are several things to consider when you think of your Golden Retriever's behavior. Your dog is not a bad dog. I don't believe there is such a thing. Some dogs have special circumstances, obstacles to overcome. You know your dog. Think of its history. Some dogs have encountered abuse, starvation (many strays and some dogs from rescue shelters,) some dogs have been subject to poor training methods or are just not a good match for the home they are in.
First thing to consider is how much you know about Goldens. Are you prepared to work with this breed, and to do what it takes to train your dog, either yourself or by a professional trainer? Decide if you have been part of the problem - or if the dog has previously been sent to a poor trainer. Do you know where your dog has picked up its bad behavior?
Next, ask yourself the following:
Where did I get my Golden Retriever? If you bought your dog from a quality breeder you should have less chance of issues arising as you might from strays or dogs rescued from shelters. Of course there are exceptions to this, and I do not mean to imply that shelter dogs are not trainable or are not good family dogs.
How old is my Golden Retriever? Generally speaking, younger dogs have less bad habits and can learn as they are growing. Again, this is not to say that "you cannot teach an old dog new tricks." However, you may find that you need more time and patience with an older dog, if he has bad habits to turn around.
If you have decided to keep and train your Golden, then congratulations! There are plenty of resources available to you should you need them (books, web articles, videos...) Best of luck to you and your Golden!
