At the heart of a dog with complete and well-absorbed training are a set of “manners” that today's canine companions cannot do without. Skills, responsible independence, clearheaded... these are some of the qualities that make these dogs a joy to live with, and make them more preferable to, say, a golden retriever that runs very fast or bark to scare away intruders.

And among these essential manners is one that cannot be missed, i.e. speed at responding to a call for attention. Indeed, there is so much to be gained in giving a dog golden retriever training to improve in its attention span. Helping a dog to learn its name is also related to this task.

Training and teaching your dog in this area is quite easy. First of all, put your dog on a leash and get some treats in your pocket. Train it in a place without distractions of any sort, whether sights or sounds. When your dog looks at ease in the surroundings, call its name in a cheery, optimistic tone. You can more or less predict calling it two to three times just to get it to look at you. When the dog faces you, say “Good!” or click if you are using a clicker. It is important to observe the timing, since what you want to do is to mark the moment the dog turns and looks at you.

Now if you are forced to say the dog's name a couple of times since it is very distracted, try making a kissy-faced noise, playfully poke it, or tap your knee to create a noise. Or if you think the surroundings are to blame, then think of a better one for next time.

Most dogs catch on quickly and soon the only thing needed is to say the dog's name once and then it turns and looks at you. But what if the point is reached that the dog looks at you the way an art student would regard the Mona Lisa? Then its time to bring the lesson to a place of more distractions. Practice this behavior a little. Be careful not to take the attention-getting commands for granted.

One last important golden retriever training tip. With regard to overdoing using the commands, be careful to only give commands that are followed by the suspense of the randomness in the rewards you give, whether a treat, or a pat on the head, or belly rubs. Make it hard to guess what your reward will be; this way the dog is on its toes every time you call it.
