You should have either a crate, an ex pen, or baby gates to keep him out of the kitchen. He is still a baby and can't control himself, he won't be able to place on a bed the whole time you are preparing dinner. An ex pen with a bed in it is best as you can reward whenever he goes on the bed, but the ex pen keeps him out of the kitchen.

I reward with veggie scraps (a bit of zucchini or carrot or whatever dog-safe veggie I am chopping...), whenever she is on her bed, she gets some. Off her bed, not. Now when I start chopping she just goes and lays on her bed waiting for the scraps to drop there for her. But that took a year and a half, so you need to manage the situation until then.

maybe this sounds bad but i moved his crate downstairs and leave him down there untill wew thru eating and i feed him at same time then i take him out etc also hegets so aggressive when p laying sometimes and goes for me instead of toy how would i know if he is aggressive tired or bored???ad of

 

The best judge of if it's aggressive behavior is the trainer or instructor you are working with.

It's been mentioned before that leash walking is not only unhealthy for growing joints but also not appropriate exercise for a four month old. They need freedom of movement (outside of your yard) either in a safe fenced area or on a long line). A bored 4 month old will keep nipping at you. More play, more games, more training, less leash walking and exiling the pup to the yard.

Putting the pup in a crate to eat their meal while you eat yours is fine as long as they don't get upset about it.

 

The vet said I should walk him and the trainer we only walk not far in the lease or in the park and in the yard fenced in on and off lease

 

Well, if you feel the advice you are getting from vet and trainer is working, then stay with it. I think you have doubts which is why you are asking here.

If you don't think the advice you are currently getting from paid experts is good or isn't working, I would be changing the that first.

No one on an internet forum has ever seen your dog. We can give generic advice but if you're going to defer to your vet and trainers, then go that route. It's always best when folks can see your dog real time.

 

Scroll to the top of this page and type" aggressive puppy" in the search box. It will bring up tons of posts from people like yourself. There is lots of good advice in those threads. @ceegee and @nolefan have especially good advice. People post every few weeks about their fear they have an aggressive puppy when 90% or more of the time it is lack of management, training and exercise. Golden Retriever puppies are wild things until you learn how to manage the bad behavior (use crate, keep a leash on to control, wear them out with mental and physical exercises etc) and teach them the behaviors you want (listen, obey commands like sit and down, walk on leash without pulling etc). Golden Retriever puppies can be tough to raise but they are quick learners who generally want to please their people and become wonderful companions once they learn the rules. Hang in there!

 

 

Thanks I’m currently trying to get him to stay out of kitchen on :a lease lure him treat praise he’s growled and nipped me by will continue to try they are smart

 

Think of this behavior like a toddler throwing a fit and biting you because you wouldn’t give him ice cream. He simply needs to learn that this isn’t an appropriate way to respond when things don’t go his way.
Don’t worry — he’s not being aggressive. He’s just a go-getter. Goldens are working dogs, and going after what they want is part of who they are.

I believe the OP bought this puppy from a pet shop. This could be part of the problem....poor breeding.
