My first golden i was satisfied with training till we brought the new one home, she is learning slowly again and the new puppy is super smart already knows sit, and to pose. He has show and hunting in his blood. And i should be recieving papers. But please make sure your really ready for double everything, especially mischievous behaviors. Let us know if you get one! And the fur, my puppy is 12 weeks old and is already shedding.
I’ve read female Goldens mature a little faster in general? I don’t know.
My female golden learned super fast, my male puppy isnt learning as fast but he is intelligent. So in my experience females do mature and learn faster.This is just what I would do, as you have to do what you feel your dog and you are ready for in life. For me, I think I’m going to wait until mine is about five years old. I have two dogs right now though — a Golden and a Cavalier King Charles. I eventually want two Goldens. I feel my male is just getting really nice with his obedience feet up under him (he turned three in November.) I want to spend some quality time with him enjoying it. By five years old, he will be able to help a new puppy become a stellar canine citizen.
Mine learns real quickly. I just think he also very much loves having fun. I noticed a big jump in his maturity from 2.5 to three years old. My female Cavalier is a force to be reckoned with. She thinks she’s queen of the house and I think I am, so we are still working it out.
Think about where your life is likely to go over the next ten to fifteen years. Do you have children or do you plan on having children? Many people impulse buy a dog, then when they have children decide that owning a dog and raising children is too much for them and they give their dog up. I've seen HUNDREDS of people in my state repeat the same sad story. You'd think that with how many people there are that make the mistake of getting a dog only to discover that they can't handle raising dogs and children together, people would read these re-homing stories and take note.
He would rather listen for a ball or a really expensive high quality treats that his puppy class has and i cant get them because she only sells them at certain times and they are 40 dollars a bag. He went into his kennel today and he is learning to hold his bladder. So he is definitely learning.Mine learns real quickly. I just think he also very much loves having fun.
