When starting training, take the golden retriever for a walk for a while to allow the golden retriever to eliminate defecation and defecation and become familiar with the environment. Then hold the leash (20 to 30 centimeters away from the collar), call the Golden Retriever's name to attract the Golden Retriever's attention, and issue the "Follow" command.

At the same time, the parent steps forward with his left leg and pulls the traction belt forward, moving forward at a brisk pace or turning in a large circle for the golden retriever to follow. The length of each training trip is generally no less than 100~150 meters.

If the golden retriever deviates or clings to the owner, pull the leash immediately to bring the golden retriever back to the correct position. After it corrects its position, it should be rewarded by saying "good" or patting it. When correcting the position of the golden retriever, the leash is only tightened momentarily. Once the golden retriever returns to the correct position, the leash should be relaxed immediately to prevent the golden retriever from feeling uncomfortable.

If the golden retriever is ahead or deviated and cannot be corrected by pulling the leash sharply, it can be corrected by turning.

When stopping the accompanying training, the "sit" command should be given, and the accompanying training should be completed by sitting on the left side. During the training process, if the golden retriever appears to be ahead, the command "Leave" should be given, and at the same time, the traction belt should be pulled back, and the golden retriever should be returned to the correct position with short steps.
