Puppy training - Take your puppy outside after breakfast

Next feed your puppy breakfast. Immediately after your puppy is done eating take her outside to the exact same spot and tell the puppy whatever phrase you want to use for going the bathroom and always use that phrase during house training.

Most typically dogs will feel the need to go to the bathroom after they eat. One of the methods I have used is rewarding the puppy when he has finished going poop. I would always praise her and then give her a small dog treat. I kept doing this every time the dog went poop where it should. I only feed my dog three times a day but obviously the dog will need to be taken out more often.

Live longer tip - Feed Your Golden Retriever a High Quality Dog Food

Feed Your Golden Retriever a High Quality Dog Food.

By feeding your Golden Retriever a high quality diet, you'll reduce his risk of becoming overweight which is a risk factor for a variety of diseases in dogs including diabetes. In one study performed on Labrador Retrievers, dogs that were kept lean lived two years longer than the control group. They also were able to avoid developing some of the diseases associated with aging such as arthritis. Many commercial pet foods have additives that may be harmful to your Golden Retriever. If you can't find a good organic dog without dangerous additives, consult with your vet for some guidelines on how to make your own.

FEEDING

Recommended feeding daily amount: 2 to 3 cups of high-quality dry food a day, divided into two meals.

Feed your golden retriever depends on his size, age, build, metabolism, and activity level. Golden retriever are individuals, just like people, and they don't all need the same amount of food. It almost goes without saying that a highly active dog will need more than a couch potato dog. The quality of dog food you buy also makes a difference--the better the dog food, the further it will go toward nourishing your golden retriever and the less of it you'll need to shake into your dog's bowl.
