1. Excitable dogs

This type of dog is often in a state of excitement, and likes to be active, and sometimes even has a certain degree of aggression. This type of dog reacts extremely sharply, forms conditioned reflexes quickly, and does not fade easily. It is a type of dog that is extremely difficult to train. Friends who do not have a certain training foundation are best not to choose this type of dog. The key point of training is to reduce its excitability, and training programs such as wandering can be carried out.

2. Lively dog

This type of dog has a lively, active, agile and flexible personality, but is less aggressive than excited dogs. However, because its excitatory process and inhibitory process are both very strong, you need to pay attention to the training method. This type of dog can easily develop bad habits due to improper training. Therefore, a training method that combines encouragement and coercion with food induction should be used.

3. Cowardly dog

This type of dog is timid, passive, and has difficulty adapting to new stimuli. Its excitement process and inhibition process are very weak, so this type of dog is also extremely difficult to train. In addition to requiring the owner to have enough patience, the owner should also adopt a step-by-step approach. The training method allows students to master the more basic training content first, and then carry out expanded training on this basis.

4. Quiet dog

This type of dog has a docile and coquettish personality, and the inhibition process is slightly stronger than the excitement process. In terms of actions, it is quiet, inactive (and slightly slow), and has poor flexibility, but is very tolerant. This kind of dog is slow to develop conditioned reflexes, so patience is required during training, and cultivating its flexibility and improving its excitability are the top priorities. Fortunately, the personality of this kind of dog is very stable and does not fade easily.

Does your golden retriever have one of the above four personalities? People with different personalities should raise dogs that suit their own personalities. Dogs with different personalities also need different training methods to achieve better results.
