How to potty train a golden retriever
How to toilet train a golden retriever? Cover the bathroom floor with clean newspapers, then put a newspaper stained with golden retriever urine, bring the golden retriever in, and say "pee, poop" loudly to it. Close the toilet door and wait for ten minutes before opening it. If the golden retriever has defecated, praise it. If the golden retriever does not continue to say the command, close the door again. Continue training like this, and then gradually reduce the number of newspapers spread.

1. After the golden retriever has eaten a full meal, spread a piece of newspaper stained with the golden retriever's urine together with other clean newspapers on the toilet floor, take the golden retriever into the toilet, and follow it loudly. Say "pee, poop" and close the toilet door. The golden retriever will always want to come out and scratch the door or bark. Don't be soft-hearted. Close it for 15 to 20 minutes at first, then open the door to see if there is poop or pee. Pee, if not continue, say "pee, poop" and close the door.

Note: Remember to say the slogan to urge the golden retriever to pee and defecate next time, so that when the golden retriever hears this sound in the future, he will know to do the excretion action.

2. After opening the door, if the golden retriever urinates, even if it is a little bit of urine, you must praise it greatly. Or prepare snacks to reward it. Golden retrievers will remember to pee in the toilet and will be praised!

3. After a successful training, be patient! You need to continue to perform the same actions for about several weeks. The toilet must be covered with newspapers. When the golden retriever may need to go to the toilet, you must take it in to excrete and slowly Slowly reduce the number of newspapers spread. After a month, you only need to spread 1 or 2 newspapers. Take the golden retriever to do this. It will know that it needs to pee on the newspaper. You can also add a large urinal under the newspaper so that it can urinate. The urine will not flow everywhere, just flush the urinal and lay a new newspaper on it, which is quite convenient.

4. If you find that your golden retriever will go to the toilet to excrete on its own, you don’t need to close the door or take the dog to the toilet. It has already remembered and understood where it wants to urinate and defecate.
