At 4 Paws and Family, we understand the importance of having a well-trained companion by your side. Our goal is to provide our golden retriever puppies with the necessary training to become well-behaved and obedient members of your family. In this article, we will discuss our dog training program, including the methods and techniques used, as well as the benefits of training for both you and your furry friend.

Methods and Techniques

Our dog training program is based on positive reinforcement and reward-based training. This means that we use treats and praise to reward good behavior, and avoid using any kind of physical punishment or negative reinforcement.

We focus on basic obedience training, including commands such as sit, stay, come, heel, and lay down. We also work on potty training and crate training to ensure that your puppy is comfortable and well-behaved in their new home.

In addition to obedience training, we also offer advanced training for more specific tasks such as retrieving, agility, and service dog training.

Benefits of Training

Training your dog not only makes them more enjoyable to be around, but it also promotes a stronger bond between you and your furry friend. A well-trained dog is more likely to be well-behaved, and less likely to exhibit destructive or aggressive behavior.

Training also provides mental stimulation for your dog, which can help prevent boredom and reduce the risk of developing problem behaviors.

Another important benefit of training is that it can increase the safety of both you and your dog. A well-trained dog is more likely to come when called and obey commands, which can help protect them in potentially dangerous situations.

At 4 Paws and Family, we believe that training is essential for the well-being of both you and your golden retriever. Our dog training program is designed to provide your puppy with the necessary skills to become a well-behaved and obedient companion. With our positive reinforcement and reward-based methods, we aim to foster a strong bond between you and your furry friend while promoting their safety and well-being.
