Golden Retriever Training Tips To Create Good Relationship With Other Dogs

The golden retriever is one of the breeds
described as kind, friendly and confident but
despite that fact, there are still a lot of
things they need to know and that can be
achieved through golden retriever training.
While some people forego training considering
this breed's wonderful personality, it is of
absolute importance to conduct it so that the
four-legged ones to become reliably well-behaved
pets.

Since pets are expected to act well in all
places all the time, one of the things they have
to develop at the earliest possible time is their
relationship towards other dogs and other pets in
general. As a puppy, they need to interact with
the mother and other puppies from the litter.
It's during this time that they learn how to
communicate with one another using body language
like barking, snapping, howling and many others.
This also explains why puppies below eight weeks
of age do not need to be taken from the litter
for when it happens, they won't be able to
develop their social relationship thus can
potentially result in behavior problems when
brought to their new owners.

When they're already exposed to their litter
mates and other common scenario, it won't be too
difficult for them to adapt to the new
environment you brought them into. However,
being pack animals, it is crucial to show your
dog who the leader of the pack is especially if
you have other dogs at home. Hence it helps to
introduce them to each other correctly to
prevent territorial issues and other related
problems.

Bring the two dogs in neutral territory, in a
fenced area if you can. With help from a friend
or member of the family, make certain that the
dogs are far away from each other and both have
their leash attached. If no one exhibits any
sign of aggression or stress at first sight,
reward them with praise or sweet-talk. Gradually
bring them closer to each other and diligently
shower them with rewards, be it treat or praise
for each good behavior displayed. When one
starts displaying any improper behavior, ignore
and wait until the dog calmed down. Give reward
only if they're showing desirable behavior. In
the end, both will realize that the only way to
get your attention, and treats if they are
lucky, is to interact with each other without
being too rough and aggressive. At home, provide
the new pet with his own comfort zone so as not
to make the other believe that his territory is
in peril thus prevents issues from developing.

When introducing the two pets, be cautious and
alert for whatever problem that may appear in
the process. It also helps to be patient when
working with this scenario because adjusting to
and accepting each others presence is not as
easy as clicking the clicker that is helpful in
other aspects of golden retriever training.
