The leash on the other hand gives you better control over your dog even if you are a few feet away. Use a strong 6-foot nylon leash, not a retractable one, during training.

Treats.

This particular tool is effective because it gives you the chance to recognize your pet's good behavior immediately after he did it.

With proper use, these tools will certainly help you attain your goal of having a satisfactorily trained golden retriever.
