We have a 16 week old spaniel….we are going thru the exact same thing with our pup. He listens when we train and does very well but when we are out and about…nope, his ears turn off. Leave-it is his most difficult command, he hates it and sometimes and gets sassy and barks at us! Puppies are cute but a HUGE time commitment. Not sure if I’m going to do a puppy again….but they are fun and can be very rewarding.
Awesome video! I know puppyhood can be challenging, but remember to enjoy this age! I have an 11 year old lab, and I would gladly go back to the puppy days if that meant I could keep her with me longer❤
The next 5 weeks is where the growing really takes off. My Golden finally stopped wanting to jump on people when he turned 3. He wouldn't jump on people per se', but he sure wanted to.
Thank you for this first update!:) Please keep up the monthly updates!! You're doing a great job not only of bringing up Daisy, bot of making these videos for us. Thank you!:)
Dang it.. I just want to reach thru my monitor, and give Daisy a hug. She's so cute. (My family has had mostly yellow and black Lab retrievers over the years..)
She's doing terrific! Potty training is more consistent ~6mos, and she may have some accidents just after being spayed. When she goes outside, say 'Potty' ... if she goes, give her 3 pieces of kibble one at a time. If she doesn't go, then no kibble. Jump training is excellent ... Sit to greet is a safe thing to do. At about 4 mos when she loses her baby teeth, she may start teething and chewing things again, b/c her mouth hurts. You can try going her a damp washcloth frozen, to chew on, but monitor closely for chewing and trying to swallow it.
Yes, puppies need proper levels of estrogen and testosterone for healthy strong bone development ; for timely closure of bone plates.. wise to wait until your puppy is about 18 months . If neutered / spayed prematurely the bone plates will stay open for a longer time.
Enjoy and savor every precious moment. Sadly, Goldens have such a short life expectancy and unfortunately, time goes by way too fast....We miss ours terribly.
I have a question..me and my GF got a puppy from shelter..we got her 2 weeks ago..she is almost 4 months old..we also use those puppy pads..but she isnt "signaling" us going outside yet for potty..thou the accidents are mostly our fault...also she gets praise and cookies when she goes potty outside..we live in apartment..i cant get the hints when she wants to go potty..its like she just gets up and goes on pad so fast i cant even react...we rly would like to teach her to ask us for potty but dont know how..or its yet too early..dunno..any help would be appriciated
Many puppies don’t know how to signal to us that they have to go outside. Daisy did the same for a while where we got very little time to react. We kept moving the pad closer and closer to the door and eventually removed the pads from the house all together. When we did this, she would make her way towards the door and cry which was our sign. A lot of times she wouldn’t wait long and have an accident. But sometimes we’d make it, give praise, and over time the accidents got less and less frequent. Even at 5 months old there were still random days where she gave us no signal and went in the house. But we continued to stick with it, giving praise every time she went potty outside and she eventually got there. I think at the six month mark is when Daisy last had an accident so it’s been almost 2 months accident free!
Daisy is Golden Retriever, a gundog by breed. It depends a little on whether she is from a working line or not, but in principle you can expect her to grow to acquire the intellectual capabilities of a 4 to 5 year old child. Obviously it’ll differ in various aspects, but generally she’ll be able to comprehend things that a 4 year old can and apply her comprehension also. Dogs like her have been shown to be capable of deductive reasoning from what they experience from the world around them. Like 4 or 5 year old children they can turn those capabilities to various purposes, “good” and “bad”. Much depends on training and occupying her busy little brains. Good luck and enjoy!
@@GraceDeGrace just remember: she will be a 4-yo with no common sense as you understand it. She’ll do the most awful, stupid things. However, she’ll also be capable of things that’ll astound you. It all hinges to a large extent on the training you do with her. You need to be predictable for her: - Be sparing with your commands. She is a gundog, not a circusdog, nor a robot. Give commands when needed, but not for the fun of it. - But when you issue a command, insist it is executed. Never, ever think that it’ll be alright. No. “Come here” means come here, right here and no two ways about it. “Leave it” means leave it, right now. Etc. - Always be kind when she obeys, even if you had to tell her 100 times. When she comes to you, she is always a GOOD GIRL! You are the sun of her universe, her refuge when everything around her goes to hell. - The basic commands are: Come here. (Obvious) Sit. (Obvious) Stay. (She needs to stay sitting down whilst you walk away, even out of sight. Obviously train this in small steps.) Heel. (She needs to walk with her head next to your left knee, both on and off the lead. When on the lead without pulling.) You can enhance her intellect by challenging her, in small steps, e.g. by asking her to search for hidden toys. Reward her with tidbits for a success. Enroll her and yourself for gundog training, even if you don’t hunt. It’ll strengthen your bond. Be prepared for the fact that you are 80% of the problem in her training.
Sometimes he did get jealous, we just had to make sure to carve out some time for just Oreo. Like when Daisy was napping giving special care and lots of love to Oreo
@@GraceDeGrace thanks. I have a 5 year old golden. I’d like to get another golden in April. I’m concerned if the age difference will be too much. My golden now gets tons of attention-too much! Thank you for your reply and all your posts.
Sorry for the late response! We found her online through a site called puppy finder. It lists local breeders in your area! The one we got Daisy from doesn’t have their own website so I’m not sure how to share them with you but try puppy finder and see if there’s one you like, that’s what we did!!
@@katekurosky2042 that is pretty common here too at least as you get closer to the city, but we got very lucky with Daisy and were very patient to find the perfect pup for us
ur talking about 1 month though.. u should be patient.. she will do all these tricks u want her in 2-3 years.... and be calm around 6-7.. u will miss the puppy energy by then.

Yup! Oreo still has trouble listening outside even years later but they still make great additions to our lives. Good luck with your little spaniel!!
Daisy is lovely. Thanks for sharing.Oreo as well. 🥰🐾❤️
Yay thank you for watching!

Agreed trying to embrace this phase
Nice to see that Daisy is part of a loving family.
Aw yes she is very loved
Thank you for sharing the reality of raising a puppy. Daisy is so precious and will sure grow to be an amazing dog!!
Thank you so much for watching! She is learning so much already, im excited to see her blossom
The next 5 weeks is where the growing really takes off. My Golden finally stopped wanting to jump on people when he turned 3. He wouldn't jump on people per se', but he sure wanted to.
Good to know!!
I’m impressed with Daisy’s training. What a gorgeous pup. 😊
Thank you! She’s a great dog!
I.ve got a male in November last year he is 9 months old and he changed our lives forever
Goldens are wonderful dogs
You’re doing great! Raising a proper doggo is a ton of work but don’t worry, your patience will be rewarded.
Thank you! Yes! They are worth every ounce of the effort
I've been watching all your puppy videos. My 11week old has EXACTLY the same tendencies and progress as your puppy.
Aw that is so sweet, that must mean you’ve got a wonderful dog in your hands! Wishing you all the best with your puppy!!
@@GraceDeGrace thanks! It's interesting you are about a month ahead of my puppy, so right when the videos come out I can predict what will happen next
Thank you for this first update!:)

Yay! Will do and thank you!!
She is going to be an amazing Golden.
I agree she is already doing so well! So excited to see her all grown up
Lovely puppy with her big 😎 bro
They are inseparable

Aw haha Daisy would love it, she loves attention!
Lovely combination
They do make a cute pair
OMG... she is so cute! You can never get mad at her. hehe..
Even through all their mischief 😂
YOU ARE ALL AWESOME! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Cute puppy!
Thank you!!
Thank you!
No problem!
❤ Ellie, She's like only film me!
Yeah she wants all the attention 😂
the cat and daisy are not playing but fighting... 🤣
Hard to tell who won the fight 😂
Such a big girl.
She grew up too fast

Our vet said to wait for 12 months before the operation. Better for growth development.
@@AnneMB955 our vet said similar, they recommended to wait until after her first heat
