Golden Retriever potty training is a very important training in Golden Retriever’s daily life.

Newborn golden retriever puppies cannot urinate or defecate on their own, so the mother dog will use her tongue to stimulate the dog's groin to promote the puppy's excretion. At the same time, the female dog will lick the puppies' feces and urine clean to avoid soiling the nest. If the smell of urine and stool is left, it will be a sign of predators. Therefore, when a puppy learns to urinate and defecate on its own, it will excrete in a place far away from the nest. This is the basic habit of dogs.

But when raised indoors, if the dog is not well trained in toilet and toilet training, the dog will urinate and defecate anywhere, which is very troublesome. Some people think that if the dog's toilet smells like urine, the dog will go to the toilet there. There are also similar "poop liquids" sold in the world. But in fact, this method of using newspapers or toilet paper stained with urine smell to make dogs remember the location of the toilet will almost always fail miserably.

Because Golden Retrievers don’t like to pee in places with the smell of their own urine, even if the surface of newspapers and toilet paper has dried. But a smart golden retriever will also rely on its sharp sense of smell to smell this peculiar smell and think that the place is dirty, and will go to other places to excrete. So how do you teach a golden retriever to pee? The secret lies in the dog’s habits.

(1) Conventional golden retriever toilet training method

First of all, we need to take a look at how big the golden retriever is. Generally speaking, it is best to train golden retriever puppies to urinate and defecate at regular intervals after five months. First of all, make sure you have enough time to find out its defecation pattern and signs before defecation. Once you find the pattern, it will be easier to train. If you don’t have time, you can change the way to close it. If possible, use a flight box, otherwise use Wooden boxes and cardboard boxes are also available. Just be big enough for it to lie down, just put it inside and ignore it.

Every time it comes out, take it directly outside and give it enough time to defecate. If it defecates outside, give it a food reward in time. If you defecate in other non-defecation places, scold it loudly, but do not hit it. This method may take a little longer, so be patient. Finally, let’s talk about the dog’s habits: Dogs do not defecate in the place where they eat and sleep. Dogs generally defecate just after waking up and after eating. Mastering this rule should be easy to train the golden retriever’s good habits.

　(2) Common mistakes in toilet training methods

Some people think that when a golden retriever dog urinates anywhere, he must immediately take responsibility, such as pressing the dog's head to smell the smell, and teaching the golden retriever dog a lesson so that it knows not to urinate anywhere. But in fact, this is a big mistake. Although the dog is punished, it is impossible for it to understand human principles and reflect that it cannot urinate anywhere.

The correct method is to take the dog to another room immediately, and the owner will silentlyClean urine and remove odor. Most of the reasons why dogs cannot learn to defecate correctly are caused by allowing dogs to move freely in the room without a fixed dog house. Only by finding out the reason can we better train the golden retriever to learn how to defecate.
