  1. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello again!! As a few of you amazing people would know, my family adopted our pup Toffee exactly a month ago. Puppies are stressful sometimes! They pee and poo and chew up your furniture! But I simply cannot believe we've had her for exactly 30 days already- it doesn't seem that long! It was...
  2. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi there, I've been a long time reader of the GoldenRetriver Forum but I figured it was time to introduce our new puppy and potentially get some help/ideas. I grew up on a registered horse breeding farm, competed with horses all my life and have had many family dogs (most of whom are...
  3. Golden Retrievers Main Discussion
    Hi - I have a very sweet, friendly female golden retriever who is 18 weeks old. She loves people but is often hesistant with other dogs. A few times when she has met other dogs, esp if they are larger, she gets scared and runs a short distance, the other dog gives chase (thinking it’s a game)...

  5. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    This is Ollie! He will be 10 months in about a week. He is amazing with all people, his only problem is all dogs. He gets very aggressive and barks a lot. He would never Bite them I don’t think but he just won’t stop barking when we’re on walks. I have no idea how to fix this. He is not...
  6. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi everyone! I will be taking home my golden puppy in mid-June and I’m trying to make a plan for properly socializing her. I regularly take my two dogs (golden and black lab) to a 400 acre off leash dog park near my house where they romp and play for the first five minutes or so before we head...
  7. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi, guys! Read ahead for what may be a stupid question. I've read all over this forum that it is crucial to socialize your new pup to many different sights and sounds when they're young. I will be taking home a 10-week-old puppy in 2 weeks and since he's 10 weeks, he won't be fully vaccinated...
  8. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi, I am confused on how to socialize my puppy. I am working with a trainer and they told me that I should be taking my puppy to new places where there are lots of people at least two times a week. I told them I was concerned because my vet says I shouldn't take my puppy anywhere until she has...
  9. Golden Retriever Training
    Hi, my local humane society offers a Puppy PreSchool training and socialization class for puppies 8-18 weeks old. One starts a week after I bring my new puppy home so she will be 9 1/2 weeks old. I want to do it because I think it will be fun and will help socialize my puppy but I'm worried...
  10. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hi all, Just wondering when we can start taking our pup for walks around town and grassy areas. He's just a little guy, just shy of nine weeks. We were told to wait until 2 weeks after his third set of shots before we take him anywhere where other dogs may have been..right now he's got his...
  11. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    I would like to start socializing my puppy within the first 2 weeks of bringing her home at 8 weeks. I know some wait until 16 weeks when all shots are completed but I also hear to introduce the puppy to as many experiences in the first 100 days. Advice please. Thanks!

    Hello! I am brand new to the forum! I just adopted an 8 week old puppy, Buddha! I was (up until about a month ago) a Training Instructor at PetSmart for 4 years. I have a senior black lab at home, but this is my first puppy. We've had him almost a week, and so far he's great, he hasn't...
  13. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    So I have a 44 pound 19 week old male golden retriever puppy that I have started in doggie daycare. I set him up to go twice a week when nobody is home all day. I brought him in the morning and he seemed to be fine, and called once during the day and they said everything was going good. The...
  14. Golden Retriever Behavioral Problems & Issues
    We recently rescued a white golden retriever who we found trying to get into the Target store by our home. She's happy, seems healthy, and was estimated to be between 1-2 years old. She wasn't chipped and we don't know whether or not she was spayed, and she's not used to being in cars/doesn't...

  16. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Puppy is 20 weeks - she is 4 1/2 months old seems to be a bit hesitant toward people recently but then runs up to them super friendly. Whereas dogs she's more confident towards. This seems new - she's generally a fearless puppy. I take her on a walk everyday. I'm thinking of taking her to fred...
  17. Golden Retriever Behavioral Problems & Issues
    Hi, our girl is about 5 months and has been going out to parks, beach, and on hikes for the past month. We noticed that she is very submissive towards other dogs. She seems okay with smaller dogs, especially those who are either scared of her or antisocial. She will always lie on her back...
  18. Golden Retriever Behavioral Problems & Issues
    Hello, I'm just discouraged I guess. My s-i-l brought her four kids over last night, ages 15, 12, 10, and 4 years. Maizie has been laid back and relaxed a lot more with just me and my DH. No kids in the house regularly. Well, it is like an electric current of energy goes through Maizie...

    Hi! I was hoping someone would have info about where to look to find dog activities in northeast NC and southeast VA! I would like to get Kahuna socialized as soon as all his rounds of shots are completed but I can't seem to find any! I just have a hard time believing there aren't any!
  20. Golden Retriever Puppy (up to 1 year)
    Hello! I have an 11 week old puppy (bubby). This is my first golden and I come from bully breed rescue in the past. We picked out our boy and have noticed that he has fear around meeting new people and meeting/socializing with dogs. He seems more comfortable with dogs his size or smaller, but...
