Being a Golden Retriever Owner I can tell that it's not as easy as it seems to raise a Goldie. Even though they are one of the most intelligent and gentle dogs, there are quite a few challenges that every new parent goes through. So I decided to share all the advice and tips for raising a Golden Retriever.
I feel like my golden is from a different breed. He might not be afraid to thunder, fireworks, or being left alone, but as soon as we get a bottle of hot sauce, he is terrified 😢
Same with my golden except hot sauce she can eat each and everything if it was possible
Lol
Hmmm might need to get a DNA test then
That dog just doesn’t like hot sauce
U should check out the vid how to know if ur dog is pure bred in this channell ull se it when ull click on the channel so u can see if ur dog is pure bred
My 17-month-old golden retriever has never been afraid of any of those thing on the list. She’s a very confident little girl, but briefly she was afraid of a hula hoop. 🐾🐾🤣😂
Hahaha
My Golden is really brave, he isnt't afraid of any of the things listed in the video, except the hair dryer. He experienced his first New year's eve when he was only 5 months old, I'd had other dogs who would hide under the bed so I thought he would be scared too, instead in went out on the balcony to watch the fireworks. He is not afraid of thunder either and wants to go out when there is a storm. Loves car rides and enjoys visits to the vet (even though he's been operated twice) because he meets other dogs. So my Alex must be really special.
Wow, that is literally the same with my Golden as well. Beautiful and absolutely glorious dogs.
Lol my golden doodle is so similar, but if I raise a pillow, he runs out of the room
My dog loves the vet too… WHY?!
Lol my golden retriever named dodoo cheese is same as yours
I have been crazy about getting a golden retriever. Do you guys recommend it?
Great pointers! Our Golden used to throw up on car trips. We tried taking him on short trips to somewhere great. Eg. The dog park. Thankfully he is fine in the car now. You used the operative word ‘desensitise’. Thx again for an informative vid. 👏
Same here.
Oh this is such a great video! Thanks SO much for sharing this, so informative!
So funny, my dog loves the blow dryer, won’t move for the vacuum cleaner and watches fireworks with us every year! He is afraid of random new things that will make its way in the house however….a house filter, luggage, a black bag….🤷🏻♀️
Another unusual fear……My Golden is fearful of his own reflection that he sees in a roof light window in the kitchen ( when it’s getting dark outside)he barks loudly and growls for several minutes!! I don’t react too much or scold him but calmly get him to sit…..slowly improving every evening🐾🇬🇧
What a delightful video of cute animals! 😍🐾 It's impossible to resist the adorable charm they exude. From fluffy kittens to playful puppies, this video is a treasure trove of heartwarming moments.
Yes indeed😍 We're so glad you liked this video! Thank you so much for the Comment :)
This channel gives by far the best advice for keeping a goldie
Yes
Besides the separation anxiety, everything else really just came and went as far as fear. Separation anxiety tends to just get worse. Every noise is scary the first time. The more they hear it the more they ignore it. He didn't like the car because the only time he was in it was to go to vet. We started to introduce short trips to nowhere much, like just around the block, then to a drive through, then here or there so now he's good because not every car ride is to vet
i am so happy i found your channel keep up the great work
Thanks a lot. I am trying to take a Golden retriever and I got such an important information.
I watch all ur videos and they are so entertaining, keep it up!
It's so nice to see how much you've grown! I remember when you guys just hit 20 subscribers (I was 10th)! And look where you are now! On the road to 100K! I know we can do it! 🐾
Thanks! I have a golden retriever. It’s very helpful!
I'm so glad that I could help :)
Our 11 year Riley loves going to the vet. Like all Goldens that we have had, he loves everybody. He is an “only” dog and meeting other dogs in the waiting area is an absolute thrill for him. His big fear is thunder and fireworks. We recently plugged in a Thunderease unit. We plugged it in when it was not thundering. He went over and sniffed/ inspected it and they laid down.
The next day and for several days had thunder. He essentially slept through it, no panting or apparent anxiety. He was still leary about going outside when there is thunder, but so am I.
Then came the July 4 weekend fireworks in our neighborhood. He was still anxious one night. People were letting them off for about three nights. The second night was the most intense and he was very anxious and threw up. The other two nights he handled them pretty well. Subsequent thunderstorms have been pretty much a non-event for him.
Overall the the Thunderease vaporizer seems to have really helped. The advertising claims studies show 90% effectiveness and thus far, I think that seems to be about right.
We had tried tranquilizers in the past. Usually we didn’t give them to him enough in advance and didn’t like the lasting lethargy for several hours afterwards. The Thunderease helped calm him but he still was alert and good natured.
My GR is panic stricken by thunder and hides under my legs as I am usually online at my desk. She also refuses to go out if there is rain, or wet underfoot. Even drizzle upsets her and she won't go in the garden, she only likes going out for her bodily needs, even if it is a nice day, and then pulls quite hard to come home. Separation stress is only a problem if she is anywhere alone that is not home. She is fine at home, has the run of the house, and it is familiar. She had a hard start to life so I expect that is where her fears originated from. Good video, thank you.
My 18 month old Golden. Just loves everything
Haha your golden must really be brave :)
I enjoyed this TH-cam, thanks for your insights!
umbrellas, loud music in someone's car... random things that we didn't really see to much when he was young, hes 10 months old now (another fear period) so watching out for new things. He just got over people in yellow vests.
Yes it totally depends on a particular dog, my simba on the other hand, won't be scared of things you just mentioned. He is rather scared of things like sound of a vacuum cleaner and a hair dryer.
I’m getting a golden retriever service dog for my PTSD. When loud noises happen suddenly, the dog will be one the soothing me lol.
Thankyou for the video I have a golden retriever and now I will try to avoid these things
My golden was not afraid of any of these things. He was calm and had an amazing temperament.
Yes...my golden has separation anxiety. Please make a separate video for it
My golden retriever loves vacuum cleaner😆 He would chase and follow me all around the house when I am using it.
They all have different personalities. I had a Golden that used to hide in the shower or basement when it thundered or there was fireworks, and another Golden that slept through it all, even with windows wide open and crazy thunder or fireworks going off nearby. They both hated the vet and being alone though.
My golden retriever Trixie is so cute😍She has separation anxiety but she NEVER barks so she just whines even if I'm playing outside and mom is mowing the lawn and nobody else is in the house, Trixie will whine.😆
Hi great video really teaches what can help you dog get over stuff He/she was scared of.
My golden doesn't care about thunder, us leaving, the vet, fireworks, and she LOVES the car. But the minute her ball is "stuck" on the heat register on the floor? "Game over Dad, I can't pick it up because of the lines on the vent." Lol...
She's also terrified of laundry baskets.
Her: #1 thunder me:good thing there is no thunder here in my place
Our golden has horrible separation anxiety! I feel so bad for him because he gets so upset and whines when we get home. A video would be great!!!!
Please make a video on separation anxiety in golden retrievers and how to work on it. Mine barks and howls for sometime, when we leave him alone.
I have lots of golden retrievers and bernese. None of the golden retriever's are scared of thunder but one bernese is. Her name is Lacy. When she here's thunder she runs straight to us for safety.
Fire works are the same. Lacy is the only scared one.
Vacuums are a bit different. The dogs aren't scared when its far away. When its close they are though.
Blow dryers are the same.
Our dogs are fine being in a car.
At the vet. Most of our dogs are fine with it. Our dogs Maddy, Willow and Lacy are all bernese they can get a little scared. The goldens do good.
All 14 of the dogs hate being left alone.
my mini golden doodle is scared of everything she is such a deva but she is my little princess
Please make that video about separation anxiety in goldens and how to work through it!
Yes we plan to make a detailed video on separation anxiety since its pretty common in goldens and even our Simba has experienced it in the past but just in case we have a video in that same genre - th-cam.com/video/Cc4LpyJKQgI/w-d-xo.html . I hope were of any help! Thank you for the Comment😄
i have a golden retriever and she's scared of nothing she love's being with me
My dog is very scared of getting into a car , when we go inside he just starts barking in low voice and looks down coz many cars pass side. My dog is very scared of the bell in house. We have a small bell when we click a button it makes sounds , and when I keep it near him he just starts acting funny. 🤩 thanks for ur guide all the fears of my dog is there in this video and I was waiting for the guide 😊
The only thing my dog is afraid of is being alone, and definitely the vacuum, he makes a huge deal whenever I leave, but he loves the vet and getting past the car to start a walk is almost impossible 😂 he literally will try to hop in strangers cars if the door is open like “okay where are we going!!”
My golden is 4 months and loves almost everything you said they hate 😂
My golden retriever loves riding in the car, loves going to the vet because he sees so many people that he loves oh, and he tolerates the hair dryer.
I had a great golden mix and he got a little upset with some of these but not a whole lot. He didn't seem to have a problem with the vet ride and he loved riding in the truck or car
Our GR surprisingly goes in the car once the doors are open
My retriever is afraid of stool (that is used for sitting)
Hehe....lol🤣🤣🤣
my sheltie is terrified of storms, and car rides. She doesn't like the vet office until he says all done at the end of the exam, then she calms down, smiles, and wags her tail.
My golden was not afraid of thunder or car rides, in fact he absolutely loved to be in the back of the car (SUV) and have me drive with the wind blowing on him. He didnt like to be left alone and would bark--he knew when I was getting ready to go out and was very alert watching me. Didnt liek going to be groomed ot the vet! He would paw at me as if to say, "Let's get outta here!" He didn't mess with one cat I have--she wouldnt tolerate him and he knew she could scratch him. But she actually liked him more and more and would rub herself on him as he layed down. I miss my biuddy of 14 years.
Can you guys please make a video for how to overcome the separation anxiety? I have an 11 month old golden. I haven’t been able to really leave the house without issues since we got him. I work from home as well which adds to the problem massively. It is a really big issue if you guys have some good tips wed be really grateful, trainers haven’t managed to really help us so far. 🙏
Yes seperation anxiety can be a problem for new dog owners and it is something many owners face! We would love to make a video on such a topic :) Thank you so much for the suggestion.
@@RetrieverCare great thank you! Look forward to watching it!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
My golden retriever does not fear nothing of the list . Maybe she is fearless
Please do a video for separation anxiety for retrievers
I love golden retriver. 😍😍😍
And very thanks
My two golden boys are afraid of not getting enough loving despite getting it all day long.
My golden loves the vacuum when we get it out her tail wags and she plays with it
Haha our simba used be scared of its sound but we used the same tactic mentioned in the video and now he is totally fine.
Never have a problem with thunder or fireworks but mine is afraid of the trash bin. He tries to run when he hears the sound of the wheel😂
My golden retriever is scared of a gate also he was scared of the vacuum but now he loves it
So true with the car one of my dogs are fine but the other one barks the whole time unless it’s with a certain person
We have a golden pupper around 8 months old and separation anxiety is really strong :/ we are trying to go through it but any tips would be great to know.
love them
My golden isn’t afraid of any of these things. The only thing that unnerves him is a trash bag sitting by the door when I am about to take the trash out. I can’t seem to get that one under control.
Thx for the information my golden is scared of everything
My dog once heard a gun shot while he was 9 months he was so scared he kept crying so we made him feel better❤
oddly enough, my dog loves the vacuum and hair drier, she does the play bow and will occasionally try to herd the vacuum across the floor.
Do you have a golden retriever
It would be great help if u put a video on how to deal with separation anxiety
My Golden baby has it
My Goldie is afraid of swiffers and selfies lol.
My 8 month old goldie (simba) had fear of all of these at some point, but now he has overgrown it all. But he never lets me vaccum the room or let airdry him cause he likes to eat the air coming out of it🤣🤣🤣
Edit- grammer
I have two dogs which are both boys and golden retrievers so this was very helpful and my dogs are kind of scared of balloons because like me they have a fear of the balloon popping
Please make a video for separation anxiety
Video on separation anxiety pls
Please make a video on separation anxiety...
please please please video for separation anxiety
Hey can you please make a video how to get rid of separation anxiety? Thanks.
Our golden doesn’t like the car but loves riding on the quad .
Some Golden Retriever afraid of umbrellas (big). Like ours. She's really terrified whenever we take the umbrellas.
Can you please make a video about the leg bends of goldies and how to avoid / cure it ?
please make a video on how to overcome dog anxiety
My golden excited going to vet ... I don't know why, when she se the doctor like meeting old friends 😂
Please make an Anxiety separation vid!
My lovely boy fears the fireworks and hates cars because he gets car sick. He feels the same about lifts/elevators and the ferry boats. He doesn't like bees either, as he got one stuck in his paw once and it freaked him out until we could get the buzzing thing free of his fur. He hates fireworks but is fine with thunder. Different type of noise.
our golden retriever comes out and watches the fireworks with us at new year and ain't scarred of thunder either. i think ours is broken😂
Lawn mower, snow blower. pretty much any machine that made noise. She was not effected by fire works, I even took her to the gun range, no fear! She was a good girl!
The only thing our golden is terrified of in the whole world is our cat. 😂
Our Golden, also named Bruno likes the vet the most out of everything, all that smells, cats and dogs and the attention of girls working at the vet makes he isn't even feel he gets vaccinated... He isn't afraid for thunder, the enjoyment of playing in the rain is more fun than being afraid for sounds, but gets crazy from helicopters and planes flying over. Everything is better then left alone, when I open the door of our car, but even strangers cars, he is the first who is in, nobody is as quick as he is, and he isn't stepping out without a ride, ofcourse the window needs to be open and he really enjoy all smells and the people passing by and give attention. Very slowly he can be left alone (1 year old) for a few hours, but always the same excitement when you come back, but that's even when I am going for 10 minutes . Till he was 8 months I thought he would never become a relaxed dog, but the last months he can be next to me when I am working without being naughty and needs attention all the time. The most he likes the beach with all children and playing around, jumping into waves and catch everything the children throw in the sea .. Bruno is trough his kindness a known name at the beach, even I live in a country dogs aren't popular at all.
Can you mack a video about how to tack care of a golden retriever puppy
My golden retriever is only scared of the vacuum cleaner he loves the car because he thinks that we are going to get him washed he’s not scared of the vets he’s not scared of fireworks or thunder or the hairdryer and he’s used to being alone sometimes so thx for the vacuum cleaner one
Haha. My dog likes going because she loves the treats and attention they give her.
My Goldie is scared of his dog treats running out! 😮 😁
I'm scared of his treats running out😆
My golden was scared of his own shadow and looking himself at the mirror. None of the 7 things on the video hahahahahaha
My Golden She Was Afraid Of Earthquake and Nova But She Was Ok With Thunderstorm But she was good with thunderstorms
Most dogs aren't naturally afraid of these things. It's just when the owners start acting like idiots that dogs think there's something wrong and get wrong ideas. Our goldi didn't trust the vacuum at first but we ignored it. 5 min later she tried to play with it.
nice helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
My golden has no issues with fireworks, car rides, thunder or any of those! However, he is terrified of balloons lol. That’s the only thing that gets him scared
My golden retriever is afraid of drains 😂. Every time I try to get her to walk over a drain with me she either runs away, or pulls on the leash until I either go somewhere else, or her collar falls off and she just scotches away from the drain! But to be honest, the drain does have a load of holes that her feet may get stuck in!
My golden retriever was way to laid back to be scared of anything ..
He would sleep during thunderstorm..
Never worried about being by himself ..
Nope vet didn't bother him either.. loved going it meant lots of pats and treats..he would walk over to be weighed as soon as we got there.
Fire works.. nope
He loved the car ..
He would sleep while I vaccumed around him ..
I don't know where your getting your dogs from .. but I've not met an anxious Golden retriever
all dogs are different and some people may not associate things well with eachother
All of sudden my gorgeous Goldie hates the ceiling wall fan - we live in the tropics and she could really do with it on, it was the first time I have tried it moving to the new house - she ran outside refusing to come in, and it's so hot here .....🤦♀️🤦♀️🤷♀️😓
My Golden loves to go to the vet.
He is in the middle of attention and gets treets afterwards.
The vacuum cleaner ist evil. He lefts the room and hides in the bigest possible distanz.
You could take a chainsaw and chop a hole tree into small peaces. He would only look interestet what you are doing. But the vacuum cleaner is a peace of nightmare.
Fireworks are a nightmare too. It turned out, that he is calmer if we take him out in front of the door. He is still nervous but much calmer when he sees where the noises come from.
Thunderstorms are a different story. He gets nervous bevore we recognize it and is a great weather warning guy. If he only wouldn't be so terrible in fear during thunderstorms. It doesn't seem to be the loud noise (at least not only) but more the weather condition.
If we see him calming down, we can be sure the thunderstorme is completely over.
I have a pit-bull black lab mix etc and she has separation anxiety
I Would love u to do a video of Separation anxiety
Yeah sure! It is one of the major problems faced by both the owners and their dogs. Thank you so much for your suggestion :)
My Golden absolutely loves the vet because she loves new people and animals but she is absolutely terrified of fireworks, but she loves the car, also scared of Vacum cleaners
Sing them the thunder buddy song lol
My golden at 18 months won’t go outside to pee. He runs to his crate and even with coaxing with treats if I get him out he starts to pee inside as soon as the leash goes on. HELP!! I’m running out of ideas and I feel so bad for him. He experienced a lightning and thunder strike when he went out to pre about 4 months ago. He has hated the outside ever since. I’m trying exposure therapy right now but getting him out of the crate is getting worse every day
Separation anxiety please make a new video on it
