Crate training works really well. Take the dog outside to do his business then put him in the crate and go to bed. Take him out first thing and he should be ok. Dogs don't like to chit the bed unlike the teams I bet on!

I don't know if a crate will work for MC since the dog is so big and will quickly outgrow.

Another thing I think is good is to praise and reward the puppy when he pees/poops in the appropriate place. Also, have a key word that tells the dog it's time to do that. The word we always use is "outside". Sounds better than potty or pee and works just as well. The way to start that is just to be out playing with the puppy, and when it starts to go, start saying the word repeatedly and praising and petting it. Go from there.

6'5"- I thought you were gonna tell the tried n true training method of rubbing a dog's nose in the mess and throwing them outside.

After a reasonable amount of time the dog learns.

Then he sh*ts, rubs his nose in it and jumps out the window

True story...I was visiting my Aunt who has a Black Bullmastif named Duke. The dog was huge, well anyway one day it was out in the back yard area when my Aunt screams. I run out to see what happened and the kitchen window is smashed. I go outside to see what the hell happened and there is "Duke" just licking his chops. Mind you this is about 1 min from the scream and the window break. Well turns out a HUGE crow flew into to window breaking it and falling to the ground. "Duke" ate it in one bite leaving nothing but a few black feathers. A trip to the vets showed the bird in the dogs stomach. My advice if you have any little ones make sure they don't lay on the floor!
Great dogs though!

Cheers

Tony, Goldens are great dogs. I have a friend who has 5. They have a wonderful temperament, and they are quite loyal. I think they are also quite smart and easy to train.

If you're going to have the dog inside, however, they shed what seems like pounds of hair every day.

No, but I've had one with asparagus tips and a nice red wine...

six-five covered most of it, they are great dogs we keep all of our dogs trimed so you don't have all the hair, if you don't you will need to brush them everyday. Also they like to have all the attention and are very smart at getting it, they are like a big baby with attention. One of the best breads of dogs I have ever had for smarts and how they react with children and family /friends. Need to watch their weight because they can gain it quick even with walks and open area to run. Think you would be very happy with it, don't get shocked if it gets a few birds even if you are in a city setting, ours bags at least 4 pigeons a year, then carries them around in her mouth till we see her with them. Yhey need lots of play not fair to this bread of dog to just be a house dog.
