[QUOTE="( deleted account ), post: 226095, member: 5993"] The Golden personality is pretty mellow and I understand they are fairly easy to train. First gradually introduce them slowly to gunfire, lots of suggestions above. Most are pretty good retrievers from the start and have good noses. Then build on their mellow personality and teach him/her to be controllable in the field, not work or run out too far. As a hunter owner (but not of Golden’s) IMHO the most important quality any flushing dog can have is being able to work slowly and fairly closely to the owner/hunter. Lots of dogs will flush tons of pheasants...100 yards out, especially when birds are not holding well.....but my shotgun doesn’t work up to a quarter mile. IMO the golden retriever’s personality lends itself to be trained to work in fairly close for a flushing species, and the non pro home trainer can build on it pretty easily. Great family member dogs, too! Disclaimer -I’m no pro trainer and have had no,experience with Golden trainer. Just passing along what I’ve heard and seen in the field. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Yes! Labs and Golden’s are similar. The basics are the same. [/QUOTE]
