  1. Golden Retriever Behavioral Problems & Issues
    We have a 4 month old Golden Retriever called Lola. She is super smart and pretty wilful, which isn't a problem, but she has started growling at us and I'm getting really worried. She growled at my husband about 4 weeks ago when she was digging up a plant, when he tried to stop her she snapped...

    Hi there! From learning about the importance of OFA clearances before selecting a breeder to finding toys and games that enrich my puppy’s day, this website has been invaluable throughout my puppy-raising experience. So I’d love some perspective on a moment that took me by surprise yesterday...

    Hello, we have a golden who is 10 weeks old now. A few more issues that have come forth and I have trouble wrapping my head around it. 1. He growls at me when I say no, and seems to protest everytime I scold him. It seems like the no word has no value to him. 2. He does not do this to my...

    Hi everyone! I just introduced bones/chews to my 4 month old golden puppy this week and have had some problems with potential resource guarding. I bought a new chew with chicken (his first meat chew) in the center and went to take it out of his mouth when I noticed he had started eating it (I...

    Hi! This is my first post here and I hate that this is the reason I am posting. We have a 10 month golden pup. Since February he has started acting very aggressive towards me and never towards my husband. He started getting very stiff around me and showing his teeth anytime I came by him or...

    Our 12 week old girl is crate trained for nights and when we need to be away from home with no problems. We take her outside 1 last time at night before putting her to bed in her crate. She often will fall asleep in her favorite quiet spot which is in the spare bathroom between the wall and...

    Hi everyone! I have a quick question about some behavioral issues with my 10-week old puppy, Maya.

    My 4 month old puppy has recently started becoming extremely aggressive. Yesterday I was about to take her for a walk and she started to lunge at me and bite me until I bled. The episode lasted for around a minute of her growling, lunging, and biting my arms. I had cuts that bled in six...

    I am very worried, my 8 month old golden Jonny has started growling at people and other dogs. When we go on walks, he'll see a dog from afar and just sit there and growl at him, but when we actually get up to the dog, he runs around, tail wagging wanting to play. When my maintenance man came to...

    I'm curious if it's normal puppy behavior or if it's aggressive behavior that needs addressing when our 9 week old female bites onto my young children's clothing (dresses and soft leggings especially) and growls, shakes and tugs on them. She sounds fairly menacing, though of course it's cute and...
  16. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    I recently picked up a golden puppy at 4 weeks old. The owner did not want him so I reluctantly took him so young. He tends to want to bite and if I tell him no and flick his nose he growls and gets a tad aggressive. Is this normal behavior and how do I curb this? I had a golden for 13 years but...

    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...
  18. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    I have a female puppy that is almost 8 months old. She is usually a sweet and loving pup, until she gets in trouble. A firm "no" or "down" will make her snap and sometimes even growl in response. I try to keep my voice and body language calm and relaxed and give easy commands like sit to...
  19. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    My sweet golden puppy is just 12 weeks old... When she is being "scolded" (ie. "No No" in a stern voice) she starts nipping, growling and showing her teeth. Is this true aggression? Should I be worried and how do I stop this? Thanks so much in advance!
