Each dog is an individual and may or may not train the same as the average representative of its breed. Golden Retrievers as a breed are ranked four in intelligence (trainability), just behind the German Shepherd. They are currently the most popular breed for competition obedience. * yes and no. They are very bright but very stubborn. If you raise it correctly you should have no problems. See the link below and it will answer all training q's

Well it depends what you want to train it. If you want to train it to sit it should not take that long. but if you are going to train it to do a backflip for some odd reason it would take time. it also depends HOW you train it too. :)

Yes, Labs are very smart. They are the seventh smartest dog breed.

They're also eager to please, which helps make them easily trainable. They are the most popular dogs in the United States.
Yes, Labradors are the seventh smartest dog breed. They are also easy to train, obidient, and eager to please. These qualities is what makes them one of the most popular breeds as family pets and assistance dogs. But the smartest dog breed is the Border Collie followed by the Poodle and the German Shephard Dog.

It depends on the dog. Dogs are as much individuals as people- asking if a golden retriever is hard to train is like asking if math is hard for people. It varies a lot.

I've had dogs that were supposed to be easy to train, but never learned anything- and I've had stray dogs that no one thought would go anywhere that ended up being very intelligent. There's no easy answer.

Yes, they are very easy to train. I have a yellow lab and within 2 weeks of when I got her she learned sit, stay, down, paw and fetch.

it depends, if you have the right books and are training the dog correctly it should be easy. i would start out with the basics, "sit" "down" and so forth. =) hope my advice helped!
