Golden Retrievers are a very popular dog breed in the United States. They are known for being friendly and easy to train. It’s important to teach your Golden Retriever basic commands so they can behave well and be safe. Here are the top 5 commands every Golden Retriever should learn:
1. Sit: Teach your dog to sit by holding a treat near their nose and moving your hand up. When they sit, give them the treat and praise them.
2. Stay: To teach your dog to stay, tell them to sit and then hold your hand up like a stop sign. If they stay in place, reward and praise them.
3. Come: Teaching your dog to come when called can keep them safe. Call their name and say “come” in an enclosed area. When they come to you, give them a treat and praise them.
4. Down: The “down” command can help your dog stay calm in certain situations. Start with them sitting and then slowly move a treat to the ground. When they lay down, give them the treat and praise.
5. Leave It: This command is used to teach your dog to ignore harmful or unwanted things. Put a treat on the ground and cover it with your hand. Tell your dog to “leave it” and when they ignore it, reward and praise them.
Training your Golden Retriever will take time and patience, but with practice, they will be a well-behaved and good companion.
