Potty training a golden retriever (or any puppy) can be a bit of a challenge, but with patience and consistency, it is definitely doable. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Choose a designated spot for your puppy to go potty. This could be a specific area in your yard, or a spot on a designated training pad.
2. Take your puppy to the designated spot frequently, especially after waking up, after eating or drinking, and after playing.
3. Use a specific command, such as “go potty,” when you take your puppy to the designated spot.
4. When your puppy goes potty in the designated spot, be sure to praise them and give them a treat to reinforce the behavior.
5. If you catch your puppy going potty in an inappropriate spot, interrupt them with a loud noise (such as clapping) and immediately take them to the designated spot.
6. Avoid scolding or punishing your puppy for accidents. This can only make the training process more difficult.
7. Be consistent and patient. Potty training takes time and repetition, so don’t get discouraged if it takes a while for your puppy to get the hang of it.

I hope these tips help! Let me know if you have any other questions.
