Best Golden Retriever Puppy Training - Potty Training Tips

As much as it might not be what you want to do, golden retriever puppy training is a task that needs to be started as soon as the puppy arrives home. No surprise is the fact that the first job is to get puppy 'potty trained'. Doggy mess around the house is not the best scenario, so to get this little puppy 'potty trained' as soon as possible is highly desirable. This might seem like a major job but it is much better putting the effort into training puppy to go to the right place rather than do all the cleaning up!

Puppy needs some help with this training because there are so many new smells around and so many new places that she just doesn't know where she is meant to be. Start right from the very first arrival at home. As soon as she is taken out of the car take her to her 'outside toilet spot', put her down and wait until she does something. This could take a while because she will need to sniff around first and check it all out.

After a meal their little tummy is so full they usually need to go to the toilet so as soon as she had had a feed, trot her out to the toilet. One puppy I had learnt this straight away and we never had papers in the house for her to use during the day. Only at night did we have to put something down for her.

When using papers inside, put a good thickness down and when she does her business, remove the top layers and put fresh ones underneath and this way she will still notice the smell and know that is where she is to go.

So, apart from the arrival home, the steps for 'potty training' are:

· As soon as she wakes up in the morning or during the day after a long sleep, take her outside to her toilet spot

· When she has been fed take her outside

· If you have been for a walk, take her to her toilet spot

With constant repetition it will not be long at all before she is going to this spot on her own.

Do remember that for her to be able to comply with this training she must be able to go out whenever she wishes so she must have free access to the back yard.

It is not cool to be angry if she messes inside, but simply show her the mess and take her out to the toilet spot. She probably won't do anything, but it will reinforce that this is where she is to go. Golden retriever puppy training is important for all concerned so the sooner it is mastered the better for the whole family.
