Summarize the following:
This is a good command to know, because it can give you a quicker response when you want your retriever to stop barking.   Create a situation that causes your golden to bark. It could be ringing the doorbell, or having someone walk by a window while he is inside. Hold a treat next to his nose, and calmly give the command. You can say something like “Quiet” or “Enough.” Just keep it simple and consistent, so that he can learn what the command is and what it means. When he gets quiet, give your dog the treat. Keep doing this, each time waiting longer and longer after he stops barking to give him the treat. Like any trick, the training will require you to have some patience while your dog learns how to respond. He may try to test your limits, so be firm and consistent. If your dog doesn’t seem to be getting it, and takes a long time to get quiet, you can withhold treats even if he does calm down. Wait a short amount of time after giving the command, about 10 seconds, and don’t reward him if he takes too long to quiet down. Make sure you do give the command once he has stopped barking, so he’ll know to associate the words with not barking. Goldens are active dogs, and love to play with people and other dogs. If they don’t have enough to do, they will get bored, and bark to express their boredom.  Make sure your golden gets enough exercise. Letting him out to pee every morning is not enough. Run around, throw things for him to fetch, or just take him for walks to keep your dog active and healthy. Your dog may growl during play, especially while tugging on objects you are holding. As long as he avoids troublesome behavior like biting, and doesn’t show signs of discomfort, this is acceptable behavior. Just don’t growl at your dog. He will likely interpret this as aggressive behavior. This can lead him to either become more aggressive in response, or become afraid of you.  If your golden starts barking while playing, make sure you identify what is causing his barking and respond appropriately. Stop the play session until you have resolved the issue and the barking stops. This can be hard, because normally we are happy to see our furry friends. This is especially true with golden retrievers, as they are friendly and loving pets. Let your dog know there are appropriate times for excitement. This is especially important when leaving or returning home. Your dog will probably be excited to see you, and run to you with an excited greeting. You need to remain calm, and not shower him with praise and petting. This tells him you coming home is a big deal, and he will get excited anyone arrives. He will also get more anxious when you leave and bored when you are not around. A bored golden is one that will bark more often. Like all dogs, golden retrievers are creatures of habit who love routine. He does want to do the right thing. Be calm and consistent in your commands and training, and be prepared to withhold treats and praise when your dog doesn’t deserve them. If you are inconsistent in your responses, whether through the way you react, or even the tone you take while doing it, your retriever will get confused. He won’t be able to follow you appropriately. Remember that your dog is not trying to defy you. He is just trying to figure out the limits you are putting on his behavior. In rare cases, your dog may be barking as a sign of another, more serious, behavioral problem. If you are concerned, or unable to break him of the habit, talk to your vet about ways to stop the barking. You can also talk to a dog trainer, who may be able to tell you if there is something you are doing wrong in your responses to barking.

summary: Teach the quiet command. Play with your golden retriever. Stay calm around your dog. Be patient. Talk your vet.

If you are having difficulty identifying active woodworm in your home (as opposed to other damage to the wood, or damage from woodworm that is not longer active) look online for exterminators in your area. Read reviews online and ask friends or colleagues if they have recommendations for local extermination companies. Call different companies for quotes and assessments before booking an appointment. Identifying specific species' of woodworm is incredibly difficult, and can result in misguided treatment attempts that fall through. Ask an exterminator for a professional assessment of your problem. Inquire about pricing and potential treatments before agreeing to any services by the company. Treatments could range from water based treatments for less severe infestations to fogging – a treatment for floors that generally does not require furniture and carpets to be removed. Once an exterminator has identified woodworm in your home, consider having them treat the problem right away. Over time, woodworm can cause significant damage to wood as well as serious structural problems in a building. DIY measures can be ineffective and time-wasting if infested wood has been left untreated for too long, so be proactive about stopping the problem before it gets out of hand.

summary: Find an exterminator. Have an assessment done. Get your infestation treated.
