Golden Retriever Mum educating her puppies aged 7 weeks

Our Golden Retriever, called Taïs, the lovely mother of six, educating her puppies, and nicely chasing some, aged 7 weeks, December 2012, Haute-Savoie, France. She's a great dog, very lively, always joyful, and willing to please her owner, who loves her so much.
The puppies have all found families..

[@musickfreek]

It’s interesting how adult dog moms know what is “acceptable” dog behavior and can recognize what’s not “acceptable” and then communicate in their canine way to their puppies so that they get in line. I actually find that remarkable and really intelligent.

[@damecouleur]

Merci for your clever and accurate comment ! Apr 21

[@alanzom1503]

Actually imo human parents can learn a thing or two from this dog mother.

[@damecouleur]

@@alanzom1503 Yes, she was a brilliant Mum to her puppies !

[@eugenelenskih2885]

one could say that is instinctual and not intelligent a example of intelligence is my uncles dog opening the fridge and grabbing him a beer on command

[@musickfreek]

@@eugenelenskih2885 That’s an example of conditioned learning and the ability to be taught how to do something. I am referring to the dog’s innate ability to perceive something and then correct it. The raw intelligence that has nothing to do with teaching.

I want the 2 just chilling out and sleeping with each other, they seem to be thinking "you guys get in trouble with Mom, we're just going to be calm and be her favourites!"LOL

[@ladyslick121]

This is why its important to meet several dogs, once you decide the breed - because the same breed still have TOTALLY different characters.... we tend to just decide on a breed and pick any old dog who's that breed.... nope... they have different characters and its important to observe their personality (loud/shy etc) too!

[@jumsaesiaw6890]

Flowerrose121. I agree on that. I have two Labrador they came from Scotland but different areas. But both have a completely different character, the older one loves a cosy quiet lifestyle and never ever pick up anything in his lifetime...while the other loves outdoor activities, picking up newspapers every weekend, chasing the wild boars 🐗 chasing the wild dogs 🐕 always looking for something that he can pick up and bring home 🏡 but mostly garbage from around the house 🏡 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ladyslick121]

@@jumsaesiaw6890 That's super interesting! I l love hearing those types of stories about different characters who are the same breed! I find it fascinating. Thank you for sharing :)

[@jumsaesiaw6890]

Flowerrose121. I used to think that, if they were the same breed they probably have the same characters...until I experienced and had my second one. Labrador and Golden retrievers is very special breed for me, their have a beautiful nature, smart and as if they can talk to you ( my young ones very talkative ) but I’m also worried because he is too adventurous dog 🐕

[@czos9239]

Always try to pick out the chill ones. Sometimes you end up with funny traits (our lab didn't like water - first time seeing that, so we didn't push) so you just pat/hug them and tell them you're gonna jump in for a moment and cool off. And they just chill. 😂

[@jasminkullig450]

Dogs often assert their dominance by claiming resources for their own. I rather think she did it because of the sassy little puppy that didn’t fully submit and even snapped back at her. She was tryna show him „loook what I have, isn’t that awesome? But you can’t have it haha“

[@CrimsonUniverse22]

This is something ANYONE getting a dog needs to understand. It's always better to get a puppy that has been exposed to his/her mother for at least the first 6 weeks of his/her life. The mother teaches basic discipline, which enables that dog to better listen and obey your orders when you adopt the puppy. I have three pets, two dogs and a cat. The smaller dog and the cat both were exposed to their mothers before we got them, and they are very obedient and good pets. The other dog? He's a big dog, but was never trained by his mom, and was put in adoption immediately after he was born. To this day, at 8 years old, he's generally well behaved, but not after like 2 years of flat out HEADACHES and frustration due to his wild behavior. Even today, he's still super stubborn and doesn't listen sometimes. That basic discipline wasn't instilled in him early on, unlike my other two pets.

[@olgasa6943]

@Aryan Ranger Slap yourself for me! I don't believe in discipline by abuse.

[@koolkitties8552]

Puppies arent supposed to be adopted until 8 weeks unless the mother cant feed them or something.

[@richard00langdon]

9 weeks is better

@Jeremiah Tassinari Please stop spreading lies😒

[@garychristenson6370]

That is because kids are not stupid. If there is no real physical penalty - pain - for its bad bebavior, a kid soon learns that and does what it wants to, knowing full well mother is just a loud paper tiger. She yells at the kid incessantly, the kid is out of conttol, then tells herself and those around her what a wonderful mom she us. Most mothers are irresponsible - have no clue what their job / duty as a parent is. Which is one of the significant reasons kids shoot up the schools these days.

[@garychristenson6370]

"Every parent yells at the kids and kids never listen." That is the dumbest statement in the history of the world. By the way, you need to attend English classes.

[@garychristenson6370]

My kids listen. Because they know they will not get a second warning. And they know that if they don't heed the first warning, pain will swiftly follow. And if they continue doing the same bad behavior repeatedly, there won't be any warning at all.
