My dog “Pringle” is a very good boy. My first golden retriever and wow am I impressed. Really easy going and easy to train. No negative reinforcement at all. The only problem I have with him is he is lazy at 7 months old. I do not think he can handle a day of hunting.Timing and reward. Never negative enforcement.
Let the dog teach itself by you rewarding it at the right time. K9s live to please , the best way to teach is to let them reap the reward of finding out the right behavior on their own.
It makes them feel "accomplished"
They will then continue to exhibit this behavior because you (the bringer of all things good to them) will be happy with them.
