  1. Choosing A Golden Retriever Breeder & Puppy
    Officially bringing home my first puppy from a breeder 1.5 hours away from me. A bit nervous right now so I'm wondering what are the things you should do and not do when you go to meet the breeder and pick up your puppy? Am I expected to be at the Breeders meeting place for a while? Are there...
  2. Golden Retriever Behavioral Problems & Issues
    My golden is 2 years old and we’re having problems with separation anxiety. We would really like for him to start settling outside of the crate and possibly no longer using the crate. When I am home with him, he is pretty chill and will lay around outside of his crate. Sometimes he will pace and...

    Hi all, we've had our 10 week old puppy home for 2 weeks now, and we started crate training since the first day. He is doing great with it, provided he is not disturbed! We are working up to three crate sessions during the day, between 1 to 2.5 hours each, and he does great when we put him in...

    Hello! We are bringing home our first Golden puppy, a female, in about a month. It's not ideal, but we then have a family road trip in June when the pup will be 16 weeks old. The trip will amount to about 14-15 hours of driving each way (with one or two overnight stops along the way). I've...

    Does anyone else’s gooden pup get sad before bedtime? No matter what I do, my 5mo old seems to look super sad about an hour before bedtime. I don’t put her in her crate until bed but she’ll lie on her dog bed near us and look SO sad!! It breaks my heart every night 😂😭 Once she’s in her crate...

    Hi everyone! I tried to read every possible thread I could before posting but I figured maybe it would be more helpful to get some advise more tailored to our situation. From day 1 of having our amazing little Piper, she has been with me all day. She comes to my office everyday (yes I am very...

    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...

    Our Ollie boy is just over 6 months. He has ALWAYS been an early bird. Part of that is due to our work schedules. My boyfriend does shift work and varies between nights and days, so I’m not sure if that is the leading factor. But the days we want to/need to sleep in he is up between 4:45-6:30...

    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...

    My 9.5 month old boy has gotten a lot more freedom and trust lately. I will leave him in the house alone to roam free when I leave my house for a few hours and he really just kind of sleeps on my couch or the floor until I get back. He never plays with his toys at all when I leave him alone to...

    We’re traveling by car with our six month old Golden (who is only 40 lb right now but loves to stretch out) for Thanksgiving and Christmas and need to bring her 42” crate with us. We have a Subaru Impreza and, even collapsed, it doesn’t fit in the trunk unless we put the seats down, in which...

    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...

    I have an 11-week old that has been home for 3 weeks. She will be going to private puppy daycare (via Rover) later this week. I'll be in the office during days for two weeks, then working from home for two weeks, indefinitly. I have two crates (technically 3 counting the one in the car). A...

    Hello, I have a few questions regarding crate training. I've had my puppy for 5 days now, and he won't stop whining and crying in his crate, unless he's really tired or napping... The second he wakes up it's impossible to calm him down. I always wait for a moment of silence but I'm afraid of bad...

    I've looked through a couple of similar questions, but none answer what I need yet! I am picking up my golden puppy soon, she is a 2 hour drive from home and the plan in my head at least is to have my partner in the backseat with her, mostly holding her but using a pet carrier to put her in if...

    We have been waiting over a year for Oliver. Unfortunately when it was time to take him home we were in the middle of quarantine. We picked him up at 8 weeks old and he is now 14 weeks. I have been watching videos so as of now he knows sit, lay, stay, and off. We are working at potty training...

    Hi i am so happy to find this page. We will be getting the puppy in a month and I am trying to understand how to organize the house. This is seriously feels as if I will have a newborn all over again. I am extremely thankful for your generous help. Crate size: What crate size does it need? I...
  18. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi I have a 4-month golden puppy. We have her from the time she was 11 weeks. We tried the crate training from the second day (not forcefully from the beginning) and she hated it. She hates being alone as well. So for her first week, we worked from home but tried to keep her in her crate or in...

    Hi! New here and new golden pup parent. We got Lola at 14 weeks old this week. A little older than usual. Breeder has already been crating her at night so we were confident she’d be fine here. First night was horrific. She was so stressed. Barking, crying, banging and evening pooing. We...

    Hi, I bought the wrong sized crate for my pup when I first got him. While it still is fine, I know he will need a bigger size to be comfortable as he grows bigger. Anyways, I received a nice, big sized, used metal crate from a family friend. They said it's been sitting foldable up in their...
