The real advantage is that the pup doesn't shit on the carpet and shag the Vicar's leg when he comes a callin'.

You've got a point there :/
That's not saying the Vicar doesn't like it. It's just rude not to ask.

I'm gratified the vicar doesn't know where I live.
Anyhoo, Goldens stay pretty puppyish all their lives.
We may have had a brea***hrough with the house-breaking already; the missus read on t'web that standard paper-training technique is passe, and after the first couple of days you should pick them up to cement the idea of doing things outside more quickly, so she got rid of the papers two days ago.
Accident-free since then.

When I trained our dog it was dead easy. I picked a code word and taught her that. Then, after food I took her outside and taught her the code word meant "have a crap". After food they can basically crap at will so it's no bother to just take her outside, tell her to do the needfull and that's it, job done.
All this newspaper thing is little short of anthropomorphizing. It's a tame wolf ffs, it wants to know it's place in the pack. It's happier that way. So tell it what to do. Let it know you are the pack leader, then other humans, then it. The dog really will be happier that way. It will also protect your home because that will make it feel that it is contributing to the welfare of it's pack.

I introduced myself as the alpha male at the outset; no worries there.
Her heel is already developing; I've had her out for a couple of mile-long walks already-she only has to rest for a minute or two on the up-hill (it's a pretty good grade).
It was actually kind of funny-I got the impression some of the drivers going by us thought I had one of those gimmick empty leashes, the way the had to look down to see there was a real dog, she's still so tiny.
The "code-word-for-crap" is a solid idea, though.
Consistancy is the watchword.

Don't you think "consistancy" is a bit of a long word for a pup?
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
