  1. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi everyone! I have asked a few questions on here and everyone is always so helpful, so naturally I am coming back with more because we are at a loss. Our 6 month old, Piper, seems to be having some issues during the day in her crate. Just looking for some tips to help get our little girl...
  2. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi Everyone, I have a 10 week old golden puppy girl and I've had her for 2 weeks now. She sleeps in her crate throughout the night no issues. But during the day (and when she goes in for the night) she won't go in on her own. The thing is, my work/meeting schedule is pretty consistent, so I...
  3. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Our Golden is crate trained as he is a scavenger and will eat absolutely everything he comes across. We got a friend who is trained in dog training to help with how to introduce him properly and make the crate a happy place. And he took to it like a duck on water. He was sleeping the full night...
  4. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello! I have a 3 month old puppy who is a joy. I leave his crate open during the day and he will gladly play in there with his toys and sometimes he prefers to nap in there as well. He sleeps in his crate at night with zero issues, and even gets in the crate on his own when I say "kennel" and...

    Our english cream golden Rosie is just over 4 months old. She's had really bad tummy issues since she was 8 weeks old which has caused her to have to go out to the bathroom all night, and us to sleep by her crate/with her on the couch/with her in our bed to let her out a lot. She's now gotten...
  6. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi all! So I made some errors when I brought home my pup, Scout, at 3 months. We immediately did crate training and he did wonderful at night. I pushed him during the day for a 2 1/2 weeks because of work conflict (I'm doing this all by myself). Then for the next week and a half I only put him...
  7. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi! I will be picking up English Golden in a couple of weeks and have been doing so much research I think my head may explode! 🤯 From what I've read on this forum, it seems like there is a great amount of debate on whether or not feeding in the crate is beneficial. I am still on the fence on...
  8. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello. My puppy, Woody, was born 11/4/18. He is almost 12 weeks and already 22 lbs! I am having a bad day today, though. He has been so good in the crate during the day and, especially, at night. He has peed in the crate a couple times because I didn't realize that his yelping was 'really...

    Hey guys! I wanted to pose a question to all of you dog/puppy parents out there: at what age did you stop crating your puppy at night? Milo is about 4 and a half months old. With the weather being so hot, he was very uncomfortable in his crate so he would take to sleeping in the living room...
  10. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello there! I get my new pup November 4th and I'm just making sure i'm totally prepared. I plan to crate train him especially in the beginning (I know there can be a bit of controversy here...). I plan to buy a big crate for him to grow in to, but i've read that you should put a divider up, and...

    When I came home today from running some errands (I was gone for maybe less than 2 hours) I let Luther ( 8 months old) out of his crate and his paws, face and areas of his blankets were soaking wet.... but it didn't smell like pee and there were no pee stains on his blankets. This has happened...
  12. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello All! It's been a long 2 weeks since I have rescued my now 5 month old pup. She's been a pain and a delight all in one. I've never owned a retriever breed and have learned of the gremlin personality once she touches water. Lots of fun. :) I work from home and have spent most of my time...

    Cooper, the 8 week fluffball, has his parents freaking out (& not just bc he is cute) Hi! We just brought our little Cooper home this past Saturday! He is so calm and sweet - we are totally in love!! My husband and I are taking turns working from home for this first week to help Cooper get...
  14. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello, I need some advice/help. I have an eight, almost 9 week golden. We went through a breeder and the breeder actually started crate training early for us. She stuck Nala (our pup) in a crate at night with some of her siblings then after a few nights she had her in there alone. When we...
  15. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi -- I'll be bringing home an 8-week old English Cream Golden in early August, and I'm trying to figure out how to manage the crate situation. The breeder recommends using a 42-inch crate and using a divider to make it the right size as she grows. Also, I live in a two story house, and am...
  16. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi all, Diesel is just over four months. I love him to bits, but he's a handful - as is any pup. I have a question regarding crating - my partner works frequently, so I'm often alone in the home with our pup. When I'm out of the home, Diesel is crated (for a max of 3-3.5hrs), and he is...

    Crate Training-Naps and Before Bedtime We recently brought our Kaya home, he is now 10 weeks. We also have a 9 year old golden. We have been crate training Kaya night & putting him in his pen if we are gone for the whole day. He likes to nap by his big brother & also by the back door. He...

    Hi I have a new puppy 13 weeks, male. I had a good laugh at the "land shark" posts as I was comforted to know that my supposedly gentle golden was mouth munching my arms and legs, shoes, jacket, jeans, blankets on my bed. For crate training chew toy I stuffed a natural bone with chicken and rice...
  19. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi everyone, My boyfriend and I got our 12 week old golden on August 26th. This is our first puppy so everything is very new to us. We live in a condo on the third floor, so right off the bat we have a slight complication. I purchased a crate for her and she sleeps in it at night and I put her...
