Let the Golden smell a bloody piece of meat, then hide it for the dog to find by scent. Start with easy spots, then increase hiding and range, or switch to a bloody cloth to raise difficulty.
Training a full search dog is hard, and dogs react differently to the same training, so it is hard to summarize; interested owners should study professional training books and videos.
