How to Train your FLAT COATED RETRIEVER

Training Your Flat Coated Retriever

The Flat-Coated Retriever is highly intelligent, deeply affectionate, and famously described as the "Peter Pan" of dogs because they never grow up.

Key Training Tips:

• Extended Puppyhood: They mature very slowly and retain a joyful, highly distractible puppy-like energy for years. Use immense patience and fast-paced games.
• Retrieval Training: They are born to fetch. Use fetching games as a massive reward during obedience training; it burns off their intense energy.

They respond wonderfully to enthusiastic praise and absolutely love having a job to do.
