​1. Set appropriate goals

Only when a goal is established, both the Golden Retriever parent as a trainer and the Golden Retriever being trained will have a direction to strive for.

2. The principle of treating dogs differently

If you want to train a dog, you must first understand its neurological type, personality traits, breed characteristics, environmental adaptability, etc. Only in this way can the dog handler communicate with the dog emotionally, so that the dog can understand the owner's intentions, and thus train the dog. Good dog. On the contrary, if you treat all dogs equally regardless of the type of dog, and deviate from the reality of the dog, and train some jump subjects that are not suitable for the dog, even if you use the best method and spend the most effort, the effect will not be satisfactory

3. The principle of combining conditioned reflexes (word commands) and unconditioned reflexes (gestures)

Dogs’ conditioned reflexes are based on unconditioned reflexes, and dogs do not understand the meaning of human language. But it has extraordinary memory. Therefore, when training dogs, conditioned stimulation must be based on unconditioned reflexes. Dogs do not understand the meaning of human language. But it has extraordinary memory. Therefore, when training dogs, the conditioned stimulus must be carried out at the same time or successively as the unconditioned stimulus, in order to establish a strong conditioned reflex in a short period of time. The conditioned stimulus should precede the unconditioned stimulus. When you give the "sit" command for training, you should wait 1 to 2 minutes before pressing the dog's buttocks or lifting the collar to achieve a combination of the two stimuli. After repeated repetitions, the dog only needs to hear the "sit" command. That is, a conditioned reflex will be formed to take the action of sitting down.

4. The principle of step by step, from easy to difficult

Every complete action of training a dog cannot be achieved successfully in one go. You must not rush into it and rush forward impatiently. Instead, you should follow the strict rules of step by step, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex. First train the dog's single conditioned reflex, and then make a complete series of conditioned reflexes, and combine each single conditioned reflex to form a dynamic stereotype.

5. Reject misunderstandings

Pet behavior experts tell us that only by truly understanding the thoughts of golden retrievers can we get the desired training effect. Golden retriever parents should learn to observe, read more books, analyze more, and learn more about the body language of golden retrievers, so that they will not misunderstand the behavior of golden retrievers. Poor wire contact will cause the lights to not light up and make life inconvenient, while poor communication will cause training to fail and put Golden Retriever parents on the rocks. Frequent conversations with your Golden Retriever will help you understand it better and provide good help for training. It's actually very simple for you to chat with a golden retriever. The key is that you have to use your "heart"dquo;Listen, not use your ears.

6. Stop the violence

When training a golden retriever, the focus is not on your volume, but on your tone, making it feel your status. Simply yelling loudly, although effective, is not the best method, because once a golden retriever becomes afraid of noise, they may become afraid of other sounds or feel punished. As for beating dogs, it is even more undesirable. Because any kind of hitting will make the golden retriever fear the opponent, resulting in the so-called "hand-phobia tendency".

7. Reward and punishment in a certain amount

Some golden retrievers like snacks, and some golden retrievers like toys. Golden retriever parents should insist on rewarding their golden retrievers every time they perform accurately. It should be noted that the golden retriever parents can only reward the golden retriever when it performs the required actions. Do not relax the standards just because the golden retriever looks cute or pitiful, so that it will mistakenly think that the golden retriever parent wants something else. a result.

After mastering the above seven principles, I believe you will be more confident in the process of golden retriever training!
