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!
Same here. Now after some practice he's ok with letting people passing by on the same side of the road. We're practicing with dogs, but that's a lot harder.
Thank you for caring enough to be frank.
I am facing the same problem with my golden. It becomes a challenge to take him for a walk because he stops for everyone and wags his tail thus asking them to pet him.. But not everyone is dog friendly.. When I stop him he pulls too much …I have started his training .. let’s see if it helps
It seems more like to me that you’re bragging.
@@SnowDaulphin Not even remotely. Legitimately if I could turn back time I would absolutely not let my golden greet everyone he wanted to and that wanted to say hi in return. It's cute when a 16 week puppy runs up to people in excitement, but just obnoxious when a 70lb fully grown dog tries to rip your arm off pulling at their leash to say hi to someone. Most goldens love people, that's not the hard part. The hard part is making sure that love and excitement is tempered by human social norms, which means they can't run up and say hi to every single person they see. It's exhausting.
Jake Thomas, your title tips are amazing it completely revived my jump rope video.
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.
All these tips are absolutely spot on!
Getting my golden puppy on the 25th, so excited. Been binge watching all your vids really helped so far :)
You’re doing the right thing. Learning about Goldens beforehand is very wise. We’ll done!
How is it going now ??
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
They bring a lot of joy ... beautiful dogs.❤
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.
I have a 10 week old goldem retriever named Milo and he barks all day long sometimes
@@alyssalang4226 You can train him not to bark so much. Ours loves barking at possums but that’s all he’s allowed.
@@AnneMB955 how do i train him not to bark
@@alyssalang4226 Trying to remember back but we did not give him attention when he barked. We’d say ‘no bark’ in a growly voice and then give lots of attention when he stopped. Probably better to ask a professional but it can work. Goldens do like to please us. Good luck.
Garrus?? Wtf??
Getting a Mini golden puppy in May. I’m so excited!
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.
A great breed had two lost one at 10 yrs old and one at 12 1/2. These are great tips
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”!
What u give them to eat from their childhood and what's the journey
I am getting my first golden retriever in one month!! I'm so excited 😆😆
😂 me next week 😅 good luck for us
We’re getting ours the 21st!
Congrats! How’s it going?
@@Pawsitivelygolden potty traning is a nigthmare! Im exausted, my golden have the devil in side, she eat the pee pads…im always go with her out side after hour and hour … she is bitting us and already destroy a leg of a table…and yes i crate her and also put her in a playpen but like i said she is the devil in a little puppy
Great info...thanks. We have a new golden retriever...had him about 4 weeks.
Have so much fun with him!
You communicate thoroughly and succinctly!
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.
It’s a dog so it’s a pet, not going to equate them to humans
This comment is so self righteous
Disagree. My GR loves to be outside and I have a hard time getting him to come inside. He loves the family but loves nature more. You wrote this like all GR have the same personality which is hilarious.. do all humans have the same personality? Didn't think so.. neither do dogs.
All our pets are family, golden retrievers aren’t any better. All animals in our care deserve the same love. I find this comment weird.
I have to admit when I saw the first part of your comment only I thought wow who could not like a golden retriever. However, after I read the rest of your comment, it really perked me up I love my golden retriever and she is a member of my family I do not consider her my pet.thank you very much for your comment
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!
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.
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
So cute!
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.
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.
Nice... Helpful... Love from India...
You're proving me wrong they are cute and playful dogs
Guilty of a few!!😂 not supervising enough… everything goes in the mouth and giving too much love via treats.
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…………..
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.

very nice my friend
So cute
Very nice♥️✅
i cant download the cheat sheet from description pls share a easy way.
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.
What was the process for training a service dog? We are getting a new one around the 21st
my pup is always hungry barks alot and keeping looking at hands of every family member for food. how to train them on that.
I waited till I had them for a month till I started the sit lay down and stuff like that
So cute papy
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 ?
No one cares what you have to say.
İ have two golden retrievers i love them their names are ruffles and ruffe there are baby 5 months
I’m getting 2 golden pups tomorrow!!
Wow, two! 🐾🐾 how’s it going?
@@Pawsitivelygolden it’s been going great and I love them so much but it’s also so sad to see them growing up so fast!
@@brynleejackson9435 that’s awesome! Glad it’s going well. Yes, they get big so fast. I couldn’t carry out little girl after like a month. 😂 They are the best additions to the family. ❤️🐾
@@Pawsitivelygolden for sure and yes it’s getting so hard to carry them cause there getting so big and I think right now there just around 1 month
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.
Probably because he doesn't think you're part of the pack
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!
how for no accidents
Precious! So glad you accept his one weakness.😂
😂😂
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.
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
cuteeeeee...❤💙🤍
We are getting a golden retriever 🎉
Congrats!! They are the best!

timestamps??
I have never let my dog on my furniture. She has her own bed.
🎉please can you help me young reputable breeder of golden retriever or Belgian shepherd. Thank you very much .
Sorry I meant can you help me found ….
"There are simply some people who don't like dogs." Yeah. Serial killers.
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.
what is "fach"?
I am getting my first pet in a few weeks
the cheat sheet isnt free
Two words: power cords!
I play hide and seek with my dog I hide and she finds me and her puppy looks for me too
Sorry I meant help me found reputable breeder many thanks
Please don’t go to a breeder. There are plenty of breed specific rescue groups out there.
my doges tare up my carpit
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.
Nessun cane e'cattivo, se lo e', e'per colpa nostra !
Point 2 is nonsense.
Somehow, mu pup potty trained itself

1:22 is so sad a little girl on a tablet yet there is a puppy right next to her
wrong! tug of war
Copy and paste of another video I just watched.
There is no way to do many of these until you have a fully vaccinated puppy!
Adopt, don’t shop!
No
@@PakistaniUltranationalist YES!!!🐕🐕🐕
@@ice9594 Adopting is no good
I usually do but stray dogs aren’t common where I am so it didn’t work. It’s hard to adopt a dog here. With cats I always adopt.
Over feed them, get a fat retriever.
first, pin this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad video. It's cheaply done. The visual is not coherent to the audio.
"Counter surfing" 😂😂😂😂
You can't expect the world from theses pups!! Even if they get into mischief lol that's what makes them puppies!!!
Don’t be mean be good and be nice
