Leash training tips for new owners

The golden retriever is a popular breed of dog known for its theitsedience and trainability. While they are typically good-natured, they can be quite rambunctious as puppies. Proper leash training is essential to ensure that your golden retriever grows up to be a well-behaved dog. Here are some tips for leash training your new puppy: 

1. Start with short walks around the block. This will get your puppy used to the feeling of a leash while also giving them some much-needed exercise. 

2. Be consistent with your commands. Whenever you give your puppy a command, make sure you follow through with it. This will help them understand what you expect from them. 

3. Reward good behavior with treats or praise.

Crate training tips

Crate training is an important part of puppyhood - it helps with potty training, provides a safe space for your pup, and can prevent destructive chewing. Here are some tips to get started: 

1. Choose the right size crate - it should be big enough for your pup to stand up and turn around in, but not too big that they feel like they can use one end as a 'bathroom'.

2. Put the crate in a quiet, central location in your home. 

3. Fill the crate with comfortable bedding and a few toys. 

4. Feed your pup their meals in the crate - this will help create a positive association with being in the crate.

Potty training tips

1. Start with a small designated area for your puppy to do its business. This can be either indoors or outdoors. 

2. Choose a cue word or phrase that you will say every time your puppy goes potty in their designated area. For example, you could say go potty or hurry up. 

3. Take your puppy to their designated potty area frequently, especially after they wake up, eat, or drink. 

4. When your puppy goes potty in their designated area, be sure to praise them lavishly!
