I'm thinking about possibly adopting a rescue golden from a foster home. I want to get a really young dog who has good health and is already well socialized with kids, dogs, cats, etc., house and crate trained, and who knows basic manners (no jumping, biting/nipping, excessive barking, begging, etc.) In all honesty, how hard will it be to find a dog as I described above? Are there a lot of rescues out there that would make great family companions without having behavioral problems?
Secondly, how hard would it be to teach an older dog commands and tricks? Is it the same as if I started from the beginning with a puppy?
Thank you!
