Basically the things you need to keep in mind should you get a Golden Retriever are: 0:11 - 1) Start training your dog since the very beginning since when he/she is a puppy; 1:01 - 2) Keep an eye on your dog when he/she roaming around in the house and/or interacting with other people; 2:15 - 3) Don't feed your dog too much; 3:03 - 4) Give proper exercise to your dog, in other words take him/her for a walk, play or somehow spend time with him/her, otherwise he/she could get stressed and consequently start destroying things in your house/yard; 4:25 - 5) Don't be too hard on your dog, should he/she make a mistake, otherwise it might compromise your progress with training him, not to mention your relationship; 5:25 - 6) Teach your dog how to be calm when you groom him/her; 6:50 - 7) Don't let your dog say hello to everyone, otherwise he/she can get too clingy and intrusive with people and other dogs, and there could be issues making the latter feel uncomfortable; 8:37 - 8) Provide mental exercise for your dog, in this case a good hint can be getting toys for him/her; 9:23 - 9) If you're having issues about how your dog behaves, don't assume that said issues go away by themselves; 10:15 - 10) Make your dog socialize since the very beginning since when he/she is a puppy.

Hands down the biggest mistake I made with my golden puppy was letting him say hi to everyone as a puppy. I wanted him to like people, and of course everyone wanted to say hi to him because he was just so cute! Unfortunately, as you stated in your video, he now expects it and it has been so much work to try to curb this behavior. If I could go back in time and change just one thing I did raising him, it would be to not let him greet everyone he wants in the first 6 months!

All these tips are absolutely spot on!

Jake Thomas, your title tips are amazing it completely revived my jump rope video.

They bring a lot of joy ... beautiful dogs.❤

Getting my golden puppy on the 25th, so excited. Been binge watching all your vids really helped so far :)

Great tips. thanks for sharing

Great tips! We went to puppy school ‘before’ picking up our gorgeous Golden. So valuable for early training. Garrus is now a 7 year old, well behaved family member. Your vids are a must for research and tips.

My addition to this list is one of mindset. Dont get a Golden Retriever for a pet! They are awful pets. They are outstanding friends and family members however. Forget the word 'pet'. You are adopting a family member. Get your head in that place with these dogs. They want to be with their family. They are not the kind of dog to be left outside. They prefer to be included with.... Whatever you're doing. Set boundaries, but let them be the family member they want to be.

My latest has been home for 2 weeks he’s had just one accident on a puppy pad, he comes, sits and stays so far and waits at a distance when i put his food down, definitely easier to train early

Getting a Mini golden puppy in May. I’m so excited!

We adopted two Goldens which was a challenge but a most rewarding one. This is our first experience to raise a GR from 8 weeks of age. Our girl is now 1.5 years and we just brought home her half brother. So love and depend on GH to guide and encourage us. One tip I find most helpful is to teach “look at me” from the start. Also, to praise “come” and “sit” no matter that it may be mostly coincidence. Oh and thank you GH for explaining proper potty training “rewards”!

You communicate thoroughly and succinctly!

I am getting my first golden retriever in one month!! I'm so excited 😆😆

A great breed had two lost one at 10 yrs old and one at 12 1/2. These are great tips

So cute!

I have a 9 month old Golden, had her potty trained in 3 weeks. She is a good ball. Her sister is a 6 yr old German shepherd female, plus our gray long haired cat, best of friends. Never a dull moment, lol.

Great info...thanks. We have a new golden retriever...had him about 4 weeks.

I have some addendums to rhe training point. First, they enjoy it. Golden LIKE to be trained. Center of attention, quality time with favorite humans, and good brain challenges. Goldens sincerely love training. Related to that, they are also high trainable. If you are new to Goldens but have experience training other dogs? Set your sights a bit higher and feel free to be a bit more ambitious with training goals.

Nice... Helpful... Love from India...

I was gifted a male 3 month old golden retriever today and I feel so blessed. I had a female german shepherd i loved her so much she sadly passed away and im grieving to this day. God is good.

You're proving me wrong they are cute and playful dogs

Hi thank you so much for these videos and the Puppy hand book I got from GH is very useful. I'm getting a puppy very soon that has been already socialized by the breeder with her bro and sisters until I get him at 9 weeks. My worry is not socializing him more with other dogs when I get him because no puppy class here and no friends with dogs.. Is additional socialization absolutely necessary? Any advice would be great!

Calling your dog fat is not "sensitive subject". I'm actually laughing

1:42 this is so true giving too much freedom turns into destruction

When myfamily got a dog he was not a golden retriever but we got him in November so he did not get enough exercise for him because now all he has is energy.

So cute

I’m getting 2 golden pups tomorrow!!

Very nice♥️✅

very nice my friend

i cant download the cheat sheet from description pls share a easy way.

Guilty of a few!!😂 not supervising enough… everything goes in the mouth and giving too much love via treats.

So cute papy

Early training is all important. Starting the day you meet or even before if you have a willing breeder. My late-service dog started training at 2 weeks old. Her first lesson was learning to hear and react to a human voice. Starting training at 6 mons is like waiting to start raising your child at 5 years. The same with grooming. So many people tell me, they can't be bathed until they are 6 mos old. It's the same as training. You can't wait. Wash them, brush their teeth, brush them. Start early and make it a habit. I will disagree with his take on socializingWhile it's harder to socialize an older dog it can be done. It just takes more work, patience and energy. We're finding due to the pandemic there is a whole generation of puppies that weren't shown the world properly. That doesn't mean they're a lost cause. Take the time to introduce them to the public the same way you would if they were tiny. Go slow, give them time to adjust, but it can be done.

Thank you for the tips my golden boy is a sweetheart because of you his name is Muffin

I remember my mom leaving our golden downstairs.. He ate the whole layer of cheese on the lasagna.

I’m getting my pup Saturday. I am getting him from a breeder at an animal sanctuary, who helps train service dogs. He’s four mos. So,I’m not sure how much training he has had. He’s been in an indoor/outdoor kennel.this should be interesting…………..

my pup is always hungry barks alot and keeping looking at hands of every family member for food. how to train them on that.

Cody never had accidents from day one He never chewed things in the house except his toys. He learned not to stare while we were eating by being told once or twice. No! Go eat your doggie food. He would and then get table scraps as a reward. He walked on and off leash fairly well. He obeyed his commands 99% of the time. But if he saw a girl All bets were off. Like father like son. Training? whatever!

I waited till I had them for a month till I started the sit lay down and stuff like that

My dog hates me for some reason. I live with my brothers and they got the dog. I honestly did not really want to interact with the golden retriever that much. But every time I walk out into the kitchen he just bites at me and starts barking.

What do think are some of the first things you should teach your new golden puppy starting on day one? My thoughts are, their name, come, sit, drop, leave it and potty training in general. Any thoughts, addition or suggestions ?

My golden is such a good boy that when he got stuck inside too long while I was working late, I came home to find a giant man sized turd leaning out of a sauce pan I left on the floor to catch a roof leak

Put off training (better start immediately) - giving puppy too much freedom around the house - overfeed - underestimate amount of exercise needed - put off grooming (start immediately) - punish dog for potty accidents - let puppy say hi to everyone - not providing enough mental exercise - assuming problems will just go away - not socialising puppy properly (do before 16 weeks) Good advice, but very long drawn out.

We are getting a golden retriever 🎉

the cheat sheet isnt free

Two words: power cords!

My biggest mistake was thinking that I could only train for one behavior at a time. Not true. They’re smart. They can handle it. I should have made more an effort to bathe, and trim, and brush when he was younger.

🎉please can you help me young reputable breeder of golden retriever or Belgian shepherd. Thank you very much .

Nessun cane e'cattivo, se lo e', e'per colpa nostra !

Sorry I meant help me found reputable breeder many thanks

my doges tare up my carpit

did some one sommon me

Somehow, mu pup potty trained itself

Point 2 is nonsense.

I have owned 4 different dog breeds, and have trained and respected their 'dog space' exactly the same. (From Labradors, Rottweilers, sheepdog, to Labradoodle...and due to the exact training and understanding they all grea into highly sociable, intelligent, extremely well balanced adult dogs. (because it was' irrelevant of the breed', what was relevant was what I wanted the dog to end-up being (bit like a child, you spoil it and it will grow up into a self -righteous out of control 'my shit don't stink scumbag!). 'Do's and Don'ts' are not specified to one breed. (completely irrelevant). Has a 'human companion' to you dog you give the 'all' the same 'basic' training that you would any other dog (with the exception of specialized service dogs. Has for how to daily handle and interact with your dog, that would be the same for 'any breed' also, (with the exception of doing anything that the dog (not breed) would find uncomfortable of intimidating etc, in the dog world. So, again irrelevant of 'the breed' respect and be kind to your dog and include him in all with the family, and he will understand your 'mannerisms, interactions towards him and as 'any breed' will return it tenfold. All puppys are overwhelming....a bit like a screaming baby....but with patience and balance we know that is normal.

1:22 is so sad a little girl on a tablet yet there is a puppy right next to her

There is no way to do many of these until you have a fully vaccinated puppy!

Adopt, don’t shop!
