    Basically the things you need to keep in mind should you get a Golden Retriever are:
    0:11 - 1) Start training your dog since the very beginning since when he/she is a puppy;
    1:01 - 2) Keep an eye on your dog when he/she roaming around in the house and/or interacting with other people;
    2:15 - 3) Don't feed your dog too much;
    3:03 - 4) Give proper exercise to your dog, in other words take him/her for a walk, play or somehow spend time with him/her, otherwise he/she could get stressed and consequently start destroying things in your house/yard;
    4:25 - 5) Don't be too hard on your dog, should he/she make a mistake, otherwise it might compromise your progress with training him, not to mention your relationship;
    5:25 - 6) Teach your dog how to be calm when you groom him/her;
    6:50 - 7) Don't let your dog say hello to everyone, otherwise he/she can get too clingy and intrusive with people and other dogs, and there could be issues making the latter feel uncomfortable;
    8:37 - 8) Provide mental exercise for your dog, in this case a good hint can be getting toys for him/her;
    9:23 - 9) If you're having issues about how your dog behaves, don't assume that said issues go away by themselves;
    10:15 - 10) Make your dog socialize since the very beginning since when he/she is a puppy.

    Hands down the biggest mistake I made with my golden puppy was letting him say hi to everyone as a puppy. I wanted him to like people, and of course everyone wanted to say hi to him because he was just so cute! Unfortunately, as you stated in your video, he now expects it and it has been so much work to try to curb this behavior. If I could go back in time and change just one thing I did raising him, it would be to not let him greet everyone he wants in the first 6 months!

      I am facing the same problem with my golden. It becomes a challenge to take him for a walk because he stops for everyone and wags his tail thus asking them to pet him.. But not everyone is dog friendly.. When I stop him he pulls too much …I have started his training .. let’s see if it helps

      @@SnowDaulphin Not even remotely. Legitimately if I could turn back time I would absolutely not let my golden greet everyone he wanted to and that wanted to say hi in return. It's cute when a 16 week puppy runs up to people in excitement, but just obnoxious when a 70lb fully grown dog tries to rip your arm off pulling at their leash to say hi to someone. Most goldens love people, that's not the hard part. The hard part is making sure that love and excitement is tempered by human social norms, which means they can't run up and say hi to every single person they see. It's exhausting.

    We adopted two Goldens which was a challenge but a most rewarding one. This is our first experience to raise a GR from 8 weeks of age. Our girl is now 1.5 years and we just brought home her half brother. So love and depend on GH to guide and encourage us.
    One tip I find most helpful is to teach “look at me” from the start. Also, to praise “come” and “sit” no matter that it may be mostly coincidence.
    Oh and thank you GH for explaining proper potty training “rewards”!

    I have some addendums to rhe training point. First, they enjoy it. Golden LIKE to be trained. Center of attention, quality time with favorite humans, and good brain challenges. Goldens sincerely love training. Related to that, they are also high trainable. If you are new to Goldens but have experience training other dogs? Set your sights a bit higher and feel free to be a bit more ambitious with training goals.

  • @voodoochild1975az
    @voodoochild1975az ปีที่แล้ว +112

    My addition to this list is one of mindset. Dont get a Golden Retriever for a pet! They are awful pets. They are outstanding friends and family members however. Forget the word 'pet'. You are adopting a family member. Get your head in that place with these dogs. They want to be with their family. They are not the kind of dog to be left outside. They prefer to be included with.... Whatever you're doing. Set boundaries, but let them be the family member they want to be.

    Early training is all important. Starting the day you meet or even before if you have a willing breeder. My late-service dog started training at 2 weeks old. Her first lesson was learning to hear and react to a human voice. Starting training at 6 mons is like waiting to start raising your child at 5 years. The same with grooming. So many people tell me, they can't be bathed until they are 6 mos old. It's the same as training. You can't wait. Wash them, brush their teeth, brush them. Start early and make it a habit.
    I will disagree with his take on socializingWhile it's harder to socialize an older dog it can be done. It just takes more work, patience and energy. We're finding due to the pandemic there is a whole generation of puppies that weren't shown the world properly. That doesn't mean they're a lost cause. Take the time to introduce them to the public the same way you would if they were tiny. Go slow, give them time to adjust, but it can be done.

I'm getting a puppy very soon that has been already socialized by the breeder with her bro and sisters until I get him at 9 weeks. My worry is not socializing him more with other dogs when I get him because no puppy class here and no friends with dogs.. Is additional socialization absolutely necessary? Any advice would be great!

    Put off training (better start immediately) - giving puppy too much freedom around the house - overfeed - underestimate amount of exercise needed - put off grooming (start immediately) - punish dog for potty accidents - let puppy say hi to everyone - not providing enough mental exercise - assuming problems will just go away - not socialising puppy properly (do before 16 weeks)
    Good advice, but very long drawn out.

    I have owned 4 different dog breeds, and have trained and respected their 'dog space' exactly the same. (From Labradors, Rottweilers, sheepdog, to Labradoodle...and due to the exact training and understanding they all grea into highly sociable, intelligent, extremely well balanced adult dogs. (because it was' irrelevant of the breed', what was relevant was what I wanted the dog to end-up being (bit like a child, you spoil it and it will grow up into a self -righteous out of control 'my shit don't stink scumbag!).
    'Do's and Don'ts' are not specified to one breed. (completely irrelevant). Has a 'human companion' to you dog you give the 'all' the same 'basic' training that you would any other dog (with the exception of specialized service dogs.
    Has for how to daily handle and interact with your dog, that would be the same for 'any breed' also, (with the exception of doing anything that the dog (not breed) would find uncomfortable of intimidating etc, in the dog world.
    So, again irrelevant of 'the breed' respect and be kind to your dog and include him in all with the family, and he will understand your 'mannerisms, interactions towards him and as 'any breed' will return it tenfold.
    All puppys are overwhelming....a bit like a screaming baby....but with patience and balance we know that is normal.
