How do you housebreak a golden retriever puppy ?

He's a PUPPY. He's going to be hyper for about the first 2 years. He will calm down a bit after he's neutered. Still, goldens are a working breed. He needs a job (as hunting dogs they love fetch!). A good hour of outside work (walk, fetch, etc) will help wear him out. Also, get him into a routine. Dogs love routine. It really helps calm them down. Go to a puppy class. Get him some training. The other problem is he doesn't live inside with you, so when you do let him in, there's all sorts of great smells and things to explore. The fact that your 'pack leader' scent is all over everything makes it all that much more interesting. Give him a crate inside. Supervise him when you're in the house together. Teach him what is his and what is not. Know he will make mistakes. He is a puppy. Be patient. Teach him.

well I have a golden doodle-golden retriever and poodle) if you dont no. Well It only took 3 weeks and he doesnt go in the house. We have a crate for him to sleep in. Keep the crate small so he doesnt go pee/poop in it. Take him out about every 2 hours. Only give him water at meals. I feed my pup 1 cup twice a day. If he goes in the house show him and say no! Take him right outside. He will soon get the hang of it my pup did! Good luck, I hope you have a lot of patience its a lot of work.

First, do not bring the new pup into your house until you take it to the place outside you want it to use for peeing & poopin. Let the pup sniff around & wait until it pees. If it appears the pup is not ready to pee, only allow it inside in the crate. Wait 15-20mins & repeat the proceedure. Once the pup has used the outdoors for potty, allow it inside but on tile floors only. Use baby gates to partition off access to the rest of your home. As the pup learns & matures. reward good Bhavior by allowing more access to your living areas in your home. Njoy your Golden Retriever, good choice!

The way you would any other puppy?Better start soon though they learn alot better as pups.And another thing I don't believe in crates...you wanted the puppy right , so why wouldja want to crate the puppy.

The keys to good housetraining include:

* Using a crate to prevent accidents and make it more likely that your pup will eliminate when you take him outside; and

* Rewarding your puppy handsomely whenever he does the right thing in the right place. Punishing your pup for mistakes can actually make housetraining harder.
