Just need some help and suggestions to help with training my 14 week old golden retriver pup. Potty training is great, rarely any accidents but the nipping and biting is getting bad and trying to redirect him seems not to work very well. Also when he get something he shouldn’t have and I try to...

good morning, I recently got a golden retriever when he was 6.5 weeks old, he's 10 weeks old now, and ever since we got him we've been constantly training since he's an emotional support dog for my daughter, but the only thing we can't get him to understand is that he can't bite us, he has...

Hello! I'm new to the forum and a new Golden Retriever owner, so I have some questions regarding my puppy's behavior and whether or not anyone else has experienced this. He's almost 4 months old now, and he definitely has normal puppy play biting behavior, but sometimes he gets a little over...

Hi, All - I really appreciate all of the info I've received on this forum over the last month and a half since we've had our puppy, Max. I've used it extensively to research food choices, socialization, and our puppy's diarrhea (which is thankfully over!). Max is 14 weeks old and we picked him...

Hi everyone, My golden is Ollie and he is 1 and a half years of age. I’ve had him for just over a year now. When we first got him at 5 months he exhibited no signs of wanting to jump or play bite so we assumed he had already gotten over that stage. Around 7-8 months of age he started to mouth...

Help! I'm at my wit's end with my 14 week-old puppy! It's not the house training, as that is going very well. I'm home, so am able to keep him on a good schedule. We play/eat/go for a walk in the morning, then into the crate until noon. At lunch we eat, play, and train, then into the crate...

Hi Everyone, First off, I would like to apologize, I am not experienced with forums or sites like this. My name is Will and my Golden is named Tucker. I got Tucker for my birthday and love him very much and work everyday with him. Over the past few months I have noticed a biting and...

We got our female GR at 8 weeks and she's been with us for 8 weeks. Right from beginning she was growling and wanted to bite us when we were giving her food or come close to here when she was eating. We started hand feeding her which helped and for short period of time she was fine. When I was...

Hey everyone! Koda is about 3 months now and I've experienced a lot of (hard) biting and snarling whenever she gets worked up from playing or being outside and doesn't want to come in. I'm worried because I don't want her to be intimidating to other dogs and people when she bites and snarls...

I just got my first golden retriever & she's a bit of a handful compared to the few other puppies I trained & raised. I feel so bad because I want her to know I love her but I have to keep pinning her to the floor and telling her no because she doesn't know when to quit. She bites and nips hard...

We have an almost 8 week old puppy who's been with us for 6 days now. This being our 7th golden, I realize all puppies will mouth and bite but she is clamping down HARD with her teeth and NOT letting go.....and growling and pulling your pants...you can't even take a step. Nothing seems to be...

Hello everyone! I am extremely new to having a puppy, we'd had two dogs when I was a younger but I did not train them or deal with them much when they were small. As a short introduction; my parents and I met with a breeder about 8 days ago and I fell in love with Sam, he's just the cutest...

I have a 13 weeks old golden. He is OBSESSED with hands. He just wants to keep mouthing them, even when you simply try to pet him (unless he's tired). He has softened up considerably since being a pup by using the "yelping" response, but to a small child, this could really hurt still. I always...

Hello, all! I am new to the forum. It is great to see a group of people who understand the ups and downs of Goldens. I have to be honest, though, I never knew raising a Golden would be so challenging. This is my first puppy and- whew- have I learned a lot. I am sure that this topic has been...
