No one reputable breeder "miniature" golden retrievers. There is no way to vouch for this dog's intelligence because fuck knows what they've bred it with to get it so small.
I would say yes but not for your average dog. Certainly breed (and owner) dependent. I have friends that train and teach agility and I feel as though their pups were born knowing basic commands.
It's this couples' first dog together.
Based on this, if enough treats are involved, most dogs can pick up on the sit command in an afternoon. And puppies will come when called if they know they're getting good. So, smart dog plus lots of treats? Sure.
