Mine likes to lay in ambush when she encounters another dog, head on the ground, tail always wagging.. she only gets up to play when the other dog gets really close.. Mine doesnt have much leash behaviour since i dont ike walking with a leash... I dont even take it with me..
Almost all of the 6 Goldens we’ve owned like to put their paw on you. They will lift one paw and put it on your arm when you try to pet them (or do anything else). Makes it super easy to train them to shake hands or do a high five!
My loving 13yr old (going strong) golden has slept almost 23hrs a day his entire life. He's never retrieved a thing and can't stand other dogs. But he's my buddy and I'll continue to cuddle him and attempt to play as long as possible. 🥰
This is so true! I have two awesome goldens, and one of thems ten, he sleeps for most of the day and he hates other dogs! But I cherish every walk with him.
@@Sophie-yu9fc We dropped our boys off with our good friends today for 2 weeks while we go to Myrtle Beach tomorrow. House feels empty and I don't feel like going on vacation without my buddies. 🤣
Everything about goldens are so heartwarming. My golden has brought me and my family so much happiness that I am forever grateful to my Kobe Bean. Even on the worst days she cheers everyone up just by her adorable eyes but the best is how she seems to know who needs some loving and will come into bed or on the couch to snuggle right next to the family member in need
I love my goldie so so much. She does this hilarious thing when she robs something. Then she stays dead still and pretends she has nothing in her mouth. All the while I can see it. So cute.
My Golden will steal something he's not supposed to have and then pick up a toy or stuffie to hide the stolen item behind. He thinks we can't see it and probably wonders why he gets caught so quickly XD
My first Golder retriever was weird her name was Cynder and she well even as a puppy she would lean up and fall backward like a trust fall and at first we thought she just lost her balance but nope she was doing it on purpose we even went to the vet about this to make sure everything was ok and right in front of the vet she did they never seen a dog do this before turns out she was doing it for attention. She lived to be 13 years old and I miss her every day
The points mentioned in this video are not unique to Golden Retrievers - ALL dog breeds behave in this manner, may the dog be a German Shepherd to a French Bull Dog.
Been searching for content like this and I finally met this video after 1 year with my golden rerriever . just subscribed as it explained everything I wanted ro know. Its all true I can relate ) . Blessed to have a gold heart ❤
I've had three goldens already. Our latest one never licks his Peter O"toole, AND he hasn't barked in over 6 years...he never barks at all. He cries when I'm about to feed him when I go into the laundry room for a scoop of his food...every single time morning or dinner, he cries when he's about to get fed...crazy. Every time I take him outside on the lesh, he walks in the opposite direction looks into the other room, then he comes to the outside door towards me.
my golden does little whiny noises when he's happy, like when greeting somebody he loves, but also does these little whiny noises when he wants attention, or whn things dont go his way!
Luckily my golden does everything but eat poop. The bathroom one is just hilarious and so darn cute. If I close the door without her with me she’ll stick her paws under the door as is if she’s reaching for me but then will whine a bit until I let her in which she’ll just sit and stare at me or fall asleep
You just literally described my Fado. Good to know I'm doing everything all right and everything what you discussed here was normal. I'm just hoping I won't experience seizure. I love him so much, honestly best friend ever this dog literally will make you a better person
Our Golden retriever is 80% human, 5% cat, 5% parrot and 10% dog. He understands both English and Afrikaans. He loves car rides, and sit number 7 with his paw staring out the window. He even sits in the car for hours when it is parked. He always turns in circles before no 2, and spins the grass when he did no 1. He follows me to the loo. He loves walks and the park. Love rolling in the grass. Sweetes being ever. Obedient, smart, social, loving and when the criminals comes into the house he is first to hide under the bed. When approached by aggressive dogs, even being nipped by them he simply takes it without fighting back until the other dog realize he only wants to be friends, then it is zoomie time.
The one good thing my golden does is not destroy anything. I've never had a dog who never chewed anything he wasn't supposed to before. Even when left alone, he chews nothing but his toys. Really impressive.
My half golden retriever ran a bad man off once!! He ran out of the woods onto our property and my dog constantly watches our property and ran to the man from far away in about 2 seconds and chased him back into the woods!! Hes such a good boy and very protective! Im so glad we have a protection doggo! My pit bull on the other hand 😂 biggest chicken ever
My six month old puppy wants to hold his leash like it's him who is guiding me and not the other way round and one more thing he wants to say hello to EVERYONE in his way - once he waited for a few minutes outside a home coz someone inside was whistling, like it was for him although that house was closed.
My Goldie greets visitors by smelling their butt or front. . 😂😂 Its funny yet embarrassing. Even maintenance guys coming to our front door is greeted by goldie smelling front of butt 😂😂😂
My golden dont eat any grass..it needs to be lemongrass.. seems like he is using those grass as a mouth freshner and he is in love with mud and water..he will come all chocolate color after spending 2 mins in the backyard on a rainy day and he is all smiles Oh another thing is he wont poop while taking a walk even if there's one human nearby except for me..but when he is pooping in the backyard he doesnt even allow me to stand there...he needs some privacy He is a drama queen and i love him for that
Yeah, some of the things. I've had quite a few breeds and there are definitely some things distinct to Goldens. The looking me in the eye while pooping is definitely something only my Golden has done. 😅
3:08 my golden licked my foot last week and then did his thing he does when he doesn’t like the taste of something like shaking his head and sticking his tongue out with a disgusted face and hasn’t licked my foot since he also poops facing north every time
This video used “Golden Retrievers” and “Dogs” interchangeably a decent amount, how many of the behaviors were exclusively related to Goldens? Not trying to be rude or anything, just very curious as I am looking to adopt a Golden soon.
You're missing the best part! They often do several of these weird things all at the same time! My boy sighs, falls asleep with his eyes open, on my dirty laundry, on his back, with his arms stretched out above him, then he starts dreaming, twitching & woofing in his sleep (which is even weirder bc he's never barked in his life)! I call him my narcoleptic acrobat! My girl does all those except the stretching, and she dances to show off her toy, & also rubs against walls. Now imagine the effect all this has on my very lert 2yo GSD! (Not a typo, he's a lert!)
My golden, ever since he was a puppy, gets a big drink and immediately comes to lick my feet. Like clockwork. Anyone else have their dog do this? I can't be the only one.
What about the rubbing behavior? My Golden grandpuppy rubs his body along walls, beds, people's legs etc, when he's especially happy. When i would take him to visit my mother, i had to start taking his harness off before he got to her, otherwise he would inadvertently hurt her legs by lovingly rubbing along her legs, and scratching up her legs with the harness.
I was lucky, my GR was/is never destructive. Give him an old slipper, his own toys, sticks, branches or cardboard boxes to chew on and rip to pieces, and he's more than happy.
My golden retriever would travel for miles for a bitch on heat even across country in rough terrain so haven't seen this as a trait or things they like to do 😅
Mine sleeps with eyes open during naps then at night in my bed only with me he closes his eyes to sleep all night. Most annoying thing is he has to interrupt me and my first wife just got married and everytime we kiss or cuddle he breaks it up
My Golden Retriever told me that if I had to go out with her and watch her during her bathroom time, then it was only fair she got to watch me during my time on the toilet. She has a point.
There's really very few behaviors specific to dog breeds. None of these are specific you golden retrievers. It's just a breed that has a tendency to be a little more sociable.
Everything in this video my yellow lab and golden retriever mix does everything in this video except eat poop or roll in poop everything else is true even when he poops he makes sure to do it right Infront of me every time and stare at me and if I look away he will stop get to where he can see my eyes then continue
these dog breed is crazy asf and full of blood sucking ticks! I would only own them, if i got a huge farm. no way to own them in little appartements or big cities, that would be a committed crime!
they only get ticks if u take them to big brush in the summer, near a lot of cattle/sheep... and also not give them anti tick stuff... But ur valid on ur other point though (somewhat)... retrievers do need a big walk (or 2)... like atleast 2 hours of walking (off leash) every day is nessesary... but more hours would be appreciated... Just letting a doog loose on ur property isnt good enough though... even if u own a ranch... I also own a cavalier king charles thats 11 now... she also needs to walk atleast 1-2 hours... so its not just a big dog thing... people tend to underestimate how much movement a dog needs to be happy/healthy.... When my retriever comes back from a 2+ hour walk shes up and ready to go again right away... We also go on fishing/hiking days every week that last like 6+ hours... and often she has walked the 2-3 hours with my dad before this...
Whole lotta every dog does that stuff pal . Take your golden to the ocean and let him go ! Oh and the dog looking at you when pooping is a sure sign it wants to be left alone . Yeah I can make up reasons for how they act.
Watch “My Biggest Regret In Raising My First Golden Retriever Puppy” next: th-cam.com/video/UEPRSvI37_c/w-d-xo.html
My golden always potties and turns to look directly at me and locks eye contact lol it’s so cute
Lol, I know exactly what you mean
Lol, same
It means they trust that you can defend them even when they are in a vulnerable position
Edit: I just got to that part of the vid haha
your dog trusts you
good owner
Same
Goldens also like to take the leash and walk themselves.
Mine does this
Mine too
Yessss..!!
My puppy been doing it ever since I got him. He’s 6 months now and it hasn’t changed.. so funny
Mine likes to lay in ambush when she encounters another dog, head on the ground, tail always wagging.. she only gets up to play when the other dog gets really close.. Mine doesnt have much leash behaviour since i dont ike walking with a leash... I dont even take it with me..

Mine does too. So adorable.
Yes, mine does this also.
Yep mine does this all the time.
My son's Golden puppy seems to prefer the paw to the face, and I've nearly had my eyes lovingly raked on more than a few occasions.
First time GR owner, she does this it’s so cute 💟
My loving 13yr old (going strong) golden has slept almost 23hrs a day his entire life. He's never retrieved a thing and can't stand other dogs. But he's my buddy and I'll continue to cuddle him and attempt to play as long as possible. 🥰

Our Golden steals things and brings it straight to me. Strange strategy but it works for me 😅
Yes, like she's trying to sike me out. 😆
My Golden will steal something he's not supposed to have and then pick up a toy or stuffie to hide the stolen item behind. He thinks we can't see it and probably wonders why he gets caught so quickly XD
Quand la mienne faisait une bêtise pas besoin de la punir elle allait se mettre sous le lit toute seule 😂😂
Just passing the first week with our pup and not disappointed with the good and the wierd!
I find the shaking of the toys adorable tbh... Whenever my golden does it we all giggle at home
Thank you for the information. I just adopted a 6-year Golden Female and this explains a lot of her behavior.
My first Golder retriever was weird her name was Cynder and she well even as a puppy she would lean up and fall backward like a trust fall and at first we thought she just lost her balance but nope she was doing it on purpose we even went to the vet about this to make sure everything was ok and right in front of the vet she did they never seen a dog do this before turns out she was doing it for attention. She lived to be 13 years old and I miss her every day
My golden covers his leftover food with his blanket to store it for later. Aaahhhhhh!
yours has extra food?? mine is just a greedy little gremlin who gobbles it all up in under 2 minutes
You’re just describing all dogs ever. But your not wrong. 👍
The points mentioned in this video are not unique to Golden Retrievers - ALL dog breeds behave in this manner, may the dog be a German Shepherd to a French Bull Dog.
This was delightful. Could totally relate to basically all of this!!
Most of this is actually general dog behaviour. My dog (a Drentsche Patrijshond, a Dutch breed) does most of this as well.
Been searching for content like this and I finally met this video after 1 year with my golden rerriever . just subscribed as it explained everything I wanted ro know. Its all true I can relate ) .
Blessed to have a gold heart ❤

my golden does little whiny noises when he's happy, like when greeting somebody he loves, but also does these little whiny noises when he wants attention, or whn things dont go his way!
This explains so much about my Golden's behaviors.
Also explains every other dog
Luckily my golden does everything but eat poop. The bathroom one is just hilarious and so darn cute. If I close the door without her with me she’ll stick her paws under the door as is if she’s reaching for me but then will whine a bit until I let her in which she’ll just sit and stare at me or fall asleep
You just literally described my Fado. Good to know I'm doing everything all right and everything what you discussed here was normal. I'm just hoping I won't experience seizure. I love him so much, honestly best friend ever this dog literally will make you a better person
I miss my golden now :(
I have a golden retriever puppy and she relates to most of these!
I died laughing when you said you were scared when your puppy shook his toy 😂I was too 🤷
You had me laughing all the way thru....You now have a new subscriber....
I always assumed my golden retriever wanting to come into the bathroom with me was due to him wanting to guard me.
Our Golden retriever is 80% human, 5% cat, 5% parrot and 10% dog. He understands both English and Afrikaans. He loves car rides, and sit number 7 with his paw staring out the window. He even sits in the car for hours when it is parked. He always turns in circles before no 2, and spins the grass when he did no 1. He follows me to the loo. He loves walks and the park.

When approached by aggressive dogs, even being nipped by them he simply takes it without fighting back until the other dog realize he only wants to be friends, then it is zoomie time.
My golden used to be a poop eater when she was a puppy but now shes almost 2 and doesn't anymore
My theory:
Golden’s sleep with their eyes open because they are watching out for things that could harm them/predators
Thanks for the video. God bless you
The one good thing my golden does is not destroy anything. I've never had a dog who never chewed anything he wasn't supposed to before. Even when left alone, he chews nothing but his toys. Really impressive.
My half golden retriever ran a bad man off once!!
He ran out of the woods onto our property and my dog constantly watches our property and ran to the man from far away in about 2 seconds and chased him back into the woods!!
Hes such a good boy and very protective! Im so glad we have a protection doggo! My pit bull on the other hand 😂 biggest chicken ever
we have a red golden retriever and absolutely love her
Mine often sleeps against a wall and when she sits on stairs, it is always bum in the top step and front legs on a lower step
My six month old puppy wants to hold his leash like it's him who is guiding me and not the other way round and one more thing he wants to say hello to EVERYONE in his way - once he waited for a few minutes outside a home coz someone inside was whistling, like it was for him although that house was closed.
Love this video
My Goldie greets visitors by smelling their butt or front. . 😂😂 Its funny yet embarrassing. Even maintenance guys coming to our front door is greeted by goldie smelling front of butt 😂😂😂
My golden prefers to be spoon fed chicken pate while watching action films from the 80’s to early 90’s. Just one of his charmingly stubborn traits.
I have a golden n loooove her to pieces!!!
Hmm... Mayhaps my bully is secretly a goldy lol. Informative video thank you
Goldens move in between two people in contact because they're trying to get you to stop fighting, not so much to protect you.
My golden dont eat any grass..it needs to be lemongrass.. seems like he is using those grass as a mouth freshner and he is in love with mud and water..he will come all chocolate color after spending 2 mins in the backyard on a rainy day and he is all smiles
Oh another thing is he wont poop while taking a walk even if there's one human nearby except for me..but when he is pooping in the backyard he doesnt even allow me to stand there...he needs some privacy
He is a drama queen and i love him for that
Dogs do this in general, it’s not unique to only golden retrievers
Yeah, some of the things. I've had quite a few breeds and there are definitely some things distinct to Goldens. The looking me in the eye while pooping is definitely something only my Golden has done. 😅
My dog if he does that deep sigh then u know he is goin to take a nap
They also like to greet you at the door
3:08 my golden licked my foot last week and then did his thing he does when he doesn’t like the taste of something like shaking his head and sticking his tongue out with a disgusted face and hasn’t licked my foot since he also poops facing north every time
Fantastic videos!
Remember this video the next time you get a big sloppy kiss from your Golden Retriever. They're 💩 eaters... LOL.
I like the logo
This video used “Golden Retrievers” and “Dogs” interchangeably a decent amount, how many of the behaviors were exclusively related to Goldens? Not trying to be rude or anything, just very curious as I am looking to adopt a Golden soon.
My Goldie keeps liking my butt cheeks every time I poo. I have to kindly tell her to stop...lol.
Brilliant Dogs, the best …but they’re definitely very strange 😂😂😂
The one I watch will full on charge me from behind and knock me down. Playful not mean but she’s strong.
you needed to add about Golden Retriever suckling
You're missing the best part! They often do several of these weird things all at the same time! My boy sighs, falls asleep with his eyes open, on my dirty laundry, on his back, with his arms stretched out above him, then he starts dreaming, twitching & woofing in his sleep (which is even weirder bc he's never barked in his life)! I call him my narcoleptic acrobat!
My girl does all those except the stretching, and she dances to show off her toy, & also rubs against walls.
Now imagine the effect all this has on my very lert 2yo GSD! (Not a typo, he's a lert!)
My golden, ever since he was a puppy, gets a big drink and immediately comes to lick my feet. Like clockwork. Anyone else have their dog do this? I can't be the only one.
my golden does everything mentioned in the video
I have a golden doodle and according to this video, she acts more like a golden retriever than she does like a poodle.
My Golden loves eating grass 😂
What about the rubbing behavior? My Golden grandpuppy rubs his body along walls, beds, people's legs etc, when he's especially happy. When i would take him to visit my mother, i had to start taking his harness off before he got to her, otherwise he would inadvertently hurt her legs by lovingly rubbing along her legs, and scratching up her legs with the harness.
Very nice
The dog on the thumbnail looks exactly like my dog it’s crazy
Does anyone else's poop here there and everywhere. Like, walking round as it's doing it.
you did it!
When my ex and I would lay in bed and snuggle, my English Golden Retriever, also my autism service dog, would get in between the two of us
I'm on my third golden and this is accurate
I laik goldeny his super ❤
When we temporarily looked after a Goldy for a family we knew, she was a poop eater.
I was lucky, my GR was/is never destructive. Give him an old slipper, his own toys, sticks, branches or cardboard boxes to chew on and rip to pieces, and he's more than happy.
My girl has to watch me poop its a requirement for her 😂😂she will whine at the door if i lock her out
Thanks from Richmond VA. It was great.
Thankfully, my golden was never a poop eater
Most all these things are true of all breeds.
Replace golden retriever with dog and this makes a lot more sense. Why did you pretend this is behavior habits of only golden retrievers?
I have a Goldendoodle and he exhibits a lot of these behaviors. He’s so goofy.
My golden retriever would travel for miles for a bitch on heat even across country in rough terrain so haven't seen this as a trait or things they like to do 😅
would it kill you to put the video in segments?
Mine sleeps with eyes open during naps then at night in my bed only with me he closes his eyes to sleep all night. Most annoying thing is he has to interrupt me and my first wife just got married and everytime we kiss or cuddle he breaks it up
5:17 wait what
My Golden Retriever told me that if I had to go out with her and watch her during her bathroom time, then it was only fair she got to watch me during my time on the toilet. She has a point.
If your dog is dreaming just let them be
There's really very few behaviors specific to dog breeds. None of these are specific you golden retrievers. It's just a breed that has a tendency to be a little more sociable.
I've noticed my dog licking his crotch when he wants to go out to pee.
Golden retrievers play with a thief
Nobody gon talk what he said on 3:35?
My dog licks one paw bc he always pisses on it
Goldens LOVE ferret poop.
At 0:37, when dogs sniff each other’s butts and go around in a circle, that’s called “background check’s”.
My dog destroyed a toy with plastic on it so we had to return it 😮
Canines and humans both feel jealous😂both are mammals.
Everything in this video my yellow lab and golden retriever mix does everything in this video except eat poop or roll in poop everything else is true even when he poops he makes sure to do it right Infront of me every time and stare at me and if I look away he will stop get to where he can see my eyes then continue
'Weird Golden Retriever Behaviors Explained'... probably more appropriate titled 'Very common behavior that most breeds of dogs display'
Most of these behaviours are Probably true for most breeds of dogs
Just me, or are most of these just dog behaviors?
If your golden is a south pooper, hit te like LOL
these dog breed is crazy asf and full of blood sucking ticks! I would only own them, if i got a huge farm. no way to own them in little appartements or big cities, that would be a committed crime!
they only get ticks if u take them to big brush in the summer, near a lot of cattle/sheep... and also not give them anti tick stuff...

Most of these things are pretty normal and innate to most Dogs , nothing weird about this
This is dog behavior, not just Golden behavior
99% of these aren’t specific to breed
