Once you have got your Golden Retriever, it is important to train him. Your Golden Retriever should be trained and mannered properly, so that your Golden Retriever easily fits into your home.

To begin with, when you train your golden retriever, you should allow your golden retriever restricted freedom. Your golden retriever will have to work really hard to get used to you, your family and your surroundings. It would be appropriate not to encourage any bad habits.

Do remember that once dogs get used to bad habits, it becomes really difficult to alter them. If you begin to apply rules when your golden retriever is young, he will easily fit into the routine and the rules that you would like him to follow.

Secondly, confine your Golden Retriever. Ideally, your Golden Retriever should not be allowed free movement around the house or the yard. If your Golden Retriever steps out of the house or the crate, keep a close watch on your Golden Retriever and his/her actions.

Chances are that your Golden Retriever would inculcate bad habits if you do not manage to keep a watchful eye on him. For example, if your Golden Retriever has once relieved himself on the floor or elsewhere inside the house, he would stick to the same area.

Dogs usually use their sense of smell, and keep relieving themselves in the same area. If you do not correct YourGolden Retriever initially, your Golden Retriever will become tougher at a later stage.

You also need to ensure that your golden retriever is following routine regarding the crate. It is better if he is not allowed to spend time outside his crate. This is one of the most important rules of housebreaking your golden retriever.
