But often people adopting Goldens do not have any experience with obedience training and what possibilities exist through training their new companion.
Obedience training provides a number of benefits.
The most familiar benefit is a well behaved dog. A Golden can quickly learn basics of sit, stay, come, and down-stay. Since Goldens are large dogs, it is essential to familiarize them with basic obedience. This knowledge can help to make them welcome wherever they go. Many people are apprehensive about large dogs no matter how friendly they are.
