Golden Retriever Puppy Training Timeline: From 8 Weeks to 2 Years

By Ranny Green Jul 09, 2020

Remember “The Golden Girls” — that TV sitcom staple decades ago? Well, today’s version is fun-loving, too, but has gone to the dogs.

And boy do they know their breed, Golden Retrievers. Nancy Lewine and Jenny Cochran are the brains and workhorses behind GoldenSoul Dogs, of Harleysville, Pennsylvania, and American Kennel Club Breeders of Merit.

Nancy’s the lead in show-dog management and breeding, Jenny in training. And both are firm believers in puppy training from the get-go.

AKC interviewed GoldenSoulDogs about the first two years of raising a Golden Retriever puppy.
