Puppy Training Videos Are Excellent Tools
Puppy training videos are a wonderful way to learn how to train your Golden Retriever. The videos emphasize the importance of consistency and repetition. These will help reinforce all that you are teaching.
Your Golden Retriever is a creature of habit and will thrive on repetition (and don't forget the praise!). Teach her frequently and do it the exact same way you always do.
Use the same word to mean the same exact command everytime. Use the same hand movements (as shown on the puppy training videos) every time.
Give her plenty of praise when she performs as you wish. When she doesn't, just say "No" firmly and try again. Never hit your puppy. They do not learn well by negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcement is a much better technique in training a Golden Retriever.
