Don’t overwork your Golden Retriever puppy. And be sure to work with their puppy four times a day in five-minute sessions. Twenty minutes a day is not a lot of time to invest in order to have a well-trained dog. When working in five-minute increments, the time tends to pass rather quickly.
Additionally, puppies have short attention spans, so five minute training sessions are perfect. Train for over five minutes and your puppy will lose interest and you may also lose your patience. Realizing this at the beginning keeps you from getting aggravated. It’s a good idea to use a timer when training your Golden Retriever puppy. You can set your microwave or oven timer for five minutes.
As they get used to the training schedule, you will be able to train your Golden Retriever puppy with more ease. Add another minute to the training, but just one minute at a time. Remember, you don’t want a training session to deteriorate into a session of aggravation, so initially keep to the five-minute rule.
