Training tips specific to Goldadors
Even with an easy-to-train breed, getting the fundamentals right makes the rest of the dog's life easier:
- Start early. Begin training from the day your puppy arrives home. The window between 8–16 weeks is the most receptive period of a dog's life.
- Keep sessions short and positive. 5–10 minutes per session, ending while the dog is still engaged and succeeding. Never train a tired or distracted dog.
- Use high-value rewards for new commands. Once a behaviour is established, you can reduce treats, but use them generously when introducing something new.
- Consistency across all family members. The most common reason easy-to-train dogs develop problems is inconsistency. If one person allows jumping on the sofa and another doesn't, you've created confusion.
