They are bred for their strong swimming capabilities and make excellent aquatic companion dogs.

Training a Golden Retriever is best accomplished by being consistent, patient, and gentle with your pup. Start slowly with basic commands and show your pup that obeying is fun and rewarding. Take short, consistent training sessions using positive reinforcement such as treats and verbal praise. Use commands they’ll be able to associate with activities so they can associate those words with the activities and obey them. Golden Retrievers are smart and eager to learn so be creative when teaching them. Allow them to explore and practice their learned skills in safe locations.
