Hello! I have an almost 7mo intact male golden that has recently developed some concerning behaviors. He has always been very submissive, but recently has been lunging/growling at unspayed female dogs around his age (4-8 months). This happens without warning, and has happened 2x off leash and 1...

Hi, I got my little monkey Jasper at 8 weeks old. When we picked and just about to walk out the gate him up the breeder stated sometimes he growls at his siblings over food. My previous dog (Husky) used to resource guard against other dogs , we did preventative training (mine, find it, let's go...

Hello, hoping to get some advice to help our 6 month old girl Zoey. She is an incredibly sweet, responsive, and smart puppy. Except when there’s food around. Zoey’s been showing resource guarding tendencies since 10 weeks old, and we’ve been working with a trainer (not behaviorist) with...

Hi Everyone, Hoping for some advice, or reassurance at the least! We live with our 5 month old golden Bonnie (picture attached, like butter wouldnt melt) and we’ve had her since around 8 weeks old! From the beginning she’s been quite a mouthy pup, in terms of barking and biting. We’ve got the...

Hello, We have a beautiful and healthy 11 week old male golden, Benny. He is extremely smart and is overall doing so well with crate and potty training and has mastered 'sit' and 'stay.' We know he is teething, but he seems to be biting and showing more aggressive behavior towards myself and 10...

Me and my partner got our golden Toby around 10 days ago and he's absolutely nailing most things. I would says he's pretty much potty trained, he goes to the back door and whines or barks when he wants out and we haven't had any accidents in days now. Crate training has been a breeze, he barely...

Hi all, I have a 8 month old golden retriever puppy and ever since his childhood I have always ensured that he is comfortable with us interfering with his food or taking his toys away by giving him high value treats while taking anything away and he has always responded positively to that...

Hi everyone! I have a quick question about some behavioral issues with my 10-week old puppy, Maya. I am concerned that she is beginning to demonstrate some aggressive behavior towards my husband and myself. Over the past week or so, she has begun biting our legs, pants, hands, and clothes. While...

I have a 5 month old puppy who like to snarl, bite, and lung at each of us for different reason. I've tried to research on my own but I'm not finding what I'm looking for so I'm hopefully someone out there will have some advice. Most of the time our puppy is happy and lovable. Then there are...

Hi All. We have an 8 month old male Golden named Ringo. He has been neutered and is a great dog most of the time but we have a serious aggression problem. He gets very grouchy around food, treats, or any time he has something he isn't supposed to have. We have been working with a trainer in...

So I have a 44 pound 19 week old male golden retriever puppy that I have started in doggie daycare. I set him up to go twice a week when nobody is home all day. I brought him in the morning and he seemed to be fine, and called once during the day and they said everything was going good. The...

Hi, I am in desperate need of advice! This is the first time I've posted but I have enjoyed reading and learning from other posts. My golden puppy, Clifford is 8 months old. He is a beautiful boy and we love him to bits. He had a rough start to life and spend his first weeks with us in...

Guinness is almost 4 months old now. We got him when he was 6 weeks old (yes, I know this is too young to take him home, but the breeder assured us it was fine). He was super loveable, playful, and is an amazing puppy most of the time. However, I have been struggling with disciplining him...

Greetings, I have a new puppy and its the first time I've ever lived with a young dog. We've had her three days now. She's nine weeks old. She's getting used to her crate and is sleeping well in it at night. We've only had a few of potty accidents, and most of them have been more my fault...

I brought a golden retriever puppy a little over a month ago. She is almost three months. It has been very difficult so far & I would love for some advice for a few of the problems I am encountering. 1.) When she was eating once in a while I pet her or stick my hand in the bowl in order to...

Hi, I'm new to the website. We have a new golden puppy and he is our first dog. I read many many books before he arrived and have adopted an approach of positive reinforcement. He is a very confident puppy (the vet commented on this) and is sweet and playful. Often when he plays he growls but as...

Chester is just about a year old. On occasion he has really bad behavior. He only acts like this when he is with my girlfriend for the most part (we live together and she has been around Chester since he was 6 weeks). For example they will be outside together in the back yard and he will start...
