Training a Golden Retriever to relieve itself in a fixed spot is generally recommended around one month of age, when training is usually easier. Golden Retrievers generally defecate about half an hour after eating, so the owner should first set a feeding schedule to control and predict the exact time of elimination, and take the dog to the designated spot as that time approaches. In addition, the owner should let the dog’s toilet retain the scent of its waste so the Golden will follow the smell back to the toilet to defecate next time.
