How to teach a golden retriever to recognize its owner
0 Jul 26,2025
Ten minutes after the golden retriever has eaten a full meal, dip a piece of newspaper into the golden retriever's previous urine, then spread it with other clean newspapers on the toilet floor, take the golden retriever into the toilet, and keep saying to him loudly "pee" "pee, poop" and close the toilet door. The golden retriever will always want to come out and scratch the door or bark. Don't be soft-hearted. Close it for 15 to 20 minutes at first, then open the door to see if there is poop or pee. If If not, go ahead and say "pee, poop" and close the door.
Note: Remember to say the slogan to urge the Golden Retriever to pee and poop next time, so that when the Golden Retriever hears this sound in the future, he will know to do the excretion action.
After opening the door, if the golden retriever urinates, even a little bit, you must praise it greatly. Or prepare snacks to reward it. Your golden retriever will be praised if he remembers to pee in the toilet!
After a successful training, you need to be patient! You need to continue to perform the same actions for about several weeks, and you must cover the toilet with newspapers. When the golden retriever may need to go to the toilet, you must take him in to excrete, and slowly reduce the amount. The number of newspapers to spread is only 1 to 2 after a month. Do this with the golden retriever. It will know that it needs to pee on the newspaper. You can also add a large urinal under the newspaper so that the pee will not go everywhere. After flushing the urinal, just lay a new newspaper on it, which is quite convenient.
If you find that your golden retriever will walk to the toilet on its own to excrete, you don’t need to close the door or take your dog to the toilet. It will already remember and understand where it wants to pee and defecate.
The owner can also cultivate the habit of golden retrievers going to the toilet during walks. If you let your golden retriever develop the habit of taking it out for walks regularly, over time, it will naturally be able to tolerate that time. But don’t forget that after the golden retriever excretes outdoors, the owner must be responsible for handling the aftermath and not leaving any mess behind. .
When a golden retriever is convenient in a place that should not be convenient, he should be escorted to the scene of the crime, point his finger at the place and tell him "no" in a stern tone. After a golden retriever has been scolded two or three times, it will understand that this is a punishment for doing something wrong, and will not dare to do it again next time.
If this kind of training misses the opportunity, no matter how much the owner scolds, it will be useless, because the golden retriever cannot understand the reason for being scolded. Also, golden retrievers will want to pee when they are excited, especially when guests come to visit. At this moment, the golden retriever should also be taken to the scene of the accident and criticized. However, if you find that your golden retriever frequently enures due to excitement, you still have to take it to the animal hospital.See the veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment!
