How to train a seven-month Golden Retriever?

For housebreaking a Golden, set up a dog toilet and dab some urine and stool on it; when the dog circles and sniffs the floor, take it there, and it will relieve itself on its own scent, then reward it. If it messes outside, scold lightly and clean thoroughly to remove the smell. Training methods differ by task; learn from books and videos and be patient, since at seven months many habits are set and results are slower.
