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...

I was wondering if there is someone on this forum who dealt successfully with separation anxiety. I have been reading posts about it on here, but the comments all seem to advise against what someone else will recommend. I have a 4-5 month old golden who loves his crate at night and willing goes...

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...

We just got two golden pups 12 days ago (brother and sister - please no comments saying to rehome one due to littermate syndrome, we have taken advice and are prepared for extra work etc). Due to an unforeseen delay with a project we’re working on (both self employed with own business) my OH...

Hi guys. I’m a new member but hoping someone can help me out. We got bertie two weeks ago, he’s 10 weeks now. Bertie isn’t out first dog but he’s our first golden. When it comes to training, he’s quite intelligent. He can sit and lay down already and he is mainly toilet trained apart from the...

Hi Everybody! My golden boy, Tucker, just turned 4 months last week and I'm actively seeking out advice from ppl who have gone through this on what I can do to start prevention training with him. A bit more context - I currently live and work at home with my parents and two sisters (COVID and...

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 all! Oakley, my two year old golden is exhibiting what I think are some separation anxiety symptoms. I'm confused though because I've had her since she was a puppy so I don't know why she'd be fearful of me leaving her. She's spent the week at my parent's house before when I've been away on...

We brought Hendrix home two weeks ago tomorrow. She's now ten weeks old. We're not crating her, mostly for space - instead, she's in the kitchen with a babygate on the door. She's almost housetrained - she'll sit at the back door in the daytime to be let out, and will whine at night to be let...

Hi everyone! My almost 6 month old pup is really addicted to me, in general, in comparison to my husband and children (ages 5 and 7). She does ok when I leave the house, but when we are on walks and I try to tie her up outside a store for a couple of minutes or even try to leave her with my...

Hello, I am so glad I found this website! I can already tell it's going to be a big help. My husband and I are first time dog-owners. Yesterday, we adopted a rescue golden retriever, named Lightning. He is 3 years old and has so much energy. We are at least his 4th home. I can tell he's been...

We have a lovely 5 year old retriever who is showing signs of being anxious when a family member steps away from the group but can still be seen and I was looking for any tips to help train this to make things easier for him? He doesn't have any anxiety issues if left at home, or if you leave...

Well, I haven't gotten a Golden Retriever yet, however I'm hoping to in October, maybe September. I was raised by Boxers and just moved into my first place, all to myself and senior kitty, Pooter (aka Buddha). We're both very lonely now that my brother's taken his American Eskimo and my mom kept...

My Golden is a 5 years old male and he was with me since he was a puppy. He comes with me to work everyday and we spend a lot of time together. When I need to go somewhere (run errands or have fun) I leave him in a dog run. I leave with him toys, water and some treats. He is not hesitant to go...

I posted about this in another area of the forum but only got one reply. I could really use some advice! We recently (1.5 weeks ago) rescued an 8 month old neutered male Golden, Cooper. We already had an 8 year old golden (spayed female) named Chloe who we have had since she was 3. We lost our...

Hey Fellow Golden Owners, I'm a long-time Golden lover and owner having grown up with several, but first time Golden puppy owner as of last week. I did my research, got my materials and supplies together and prepared the house, and my little guy seems to have gotten settled in and is already...

We can't even leave her in another room with the door shut.. She is so clingy! My boyfriend bought her when she was a very young puppy around 4 years ago, and just last year he moved and he couldn't take her with. She was leashed up in his uncle's garage for several months. I think this may have...

Hello! I'm new here - I just joined because in about a week I will be bringing the family dog to my house, and am a little concerned about how he will react. He is going to have a few changes - but overall, I think they will be good ones for him. At the moment, he is living with my parents, who...

Hello everyone, I'm so glad I found this forum to help with so many of my questions! I have always had Goldens in my family (parents house) but this is my first experience raising a puppy. Kobe is 7 weeks old and he's been home for four days now. I have read plenty of books about training...
