All dog breeds
Social, soft, recall
Golden Retriever
Friendly to a fault. The work is teaching them that not every person, dog, or sandwich is an invitation.
What we train
Polite greeting, a recall that interrupts social joy, and settling in a busy house.
In this practice
Goldens learn fast and please hard. Katie uses that — then puts a brake on it. The dog should be able to watch the world without joining it.
