Training a Golden Retriever not to relieve itself anywhere takes patience and time. First, prepare a dog toilet and take it to the fixed spot when it wakes up and about 30 minutes after meals each day, to build a habit of timed, fixed-place elimination.
Second, watch the dog’s behavior; when you see signs it needs to go, take it to the area immediately and praise it and give a little food after it finishes, to boost its motivation. Finally, train with commands like ‘poop’ or ‘pee’ to help the dog associate the words with the action.
