I love Labradors for that exact reason I've never met one that wasn't freindly in fact every single Lab/golden I've met loved the attention and the way they acted would have you believe we were life long freinds. Its like they've been put on Earth for us and boy we don't deserve them.

In five years I have never had to yell at my girl - ever! If I did it would break her heart. As for cuddles, well she loves them and I have to avoid her at times because she thrives on them, even from my young grandsons. She the kindest, gentlest dog I’ve ever owned and does absolutely nothing wrong. Bless her 💖

[@greg.kasarik]

I found that the best way to make my Golden Retriever actually like fireworks and thunderstorms was to act excited by the noise. Initially, she was terrified by both, but after I made it clear that they were fun, she began to enjoy them as well, barking back at the thunder and bouncing like a puppy at lightning. Goldens pick up a surprisingly large amount of their behaviour and "opinions" about the world from their owners. Dogs, in general, have spent the last 15000 years, domesticating themselves, and are easily able to recognise human emotion, whereas we still struggle to recognise theirs. Being people pleasers, Goldens are quite talented in this regard, but you need to put the work in, in order to train and socialise them, because modern human society is nothing like anything that any creature on the planet evolved to endure.

[@ealingbadger]

@@JimmeBaily No, they don't bite. They are renowned for having a very soft "mouth" and love to play "biting" games where they will wrestle with their teeth around your arm but will not (deliberately) hurt you. The down side of this is that if you play this game with them they do not understand that it is not cool to also play it with others - especially children - who do not understand that they mean no harm and will usually become very frightened as a result. No, they are not good apartment dogs. Do not get one unless you are at home all day and able to be with them and walk them regularly.

[@Roonasaur]

6:26 Ok, the thing you're missing here . . . when you train your puppy to allow interference during meal time . . . Yes, you get in there and take away their food, but only if you're going to put a nice treat on top for them. Take away the kibble, put a nice-sized piece of sausage on top and give it back to them. They'll quickly learn that they don't need to guard their bowl.

[@kirasosson2275]

basic fact: golden retrievers are very intelligent beings and know very well when you do something with good intention or not. So, even when you do something they normally don't like very much, they still can be very tolerant and, to a certain degree, come to appreciate it (if there is good intention).

Before watching this video I was afraid it was clickbait. But all the points are spot-on and show a very good understanding of goldens and a sensitivity to their needs.

[@Mortagleus]

Not all points are spot but most are. As a young pup he is right about yelling , but if you listen to a pups mom or grandmother you will hear a very stern talking to. Golden need to be train exactly as the older females Goldie's stern growly voice. Also a firm grab of the excess skin with control while doing the growly voice really works well when discipline is needed. When a pup is really not listening a small backhand on the rump works well, you don't cause any pain but it reminds them of when momma had to show them who's boss

[@jazminlongman4798]

My Golden is 9 years old, he has always hated loud and high pitched noises, we have had to turn around on walks before because people have those cat deterring mechanisms that make a super high pitched noise.

[@PamWhimsicalVintage]

Golden Retrievers hate flexible schedules...so true! All such amazing points that it took me 30 years of Goldens to understand. The only thing that I would add is to the grooming points. Over bathing a Golden is detrimental to their coat, which you did mention but the reason is this... their coats have a high amount of lanolin ( a natural oil that protects them in the water). It's that lanolin that gives them the stinky, hot Golden smell. Too many baths remove the lanolin and leaves them prone to more skin problems. Goldens are highly intelligent, emotionally and otherwise. If you're young and active, this still is not necessarily the dog for you. Be willing to put in both the emotional and physical time. Whatever you're thinking, trust me, they've already out thought you:). Great video!!

[@donwittke5454]

@@bluesky7126 remember at six months your pup is very much a baby. My youngest who is two now would seem very slow at times, then get zoomies later. There were times I remember he didn’t want to even walk far with me down the street. Lots of sleep. They grow out of it. He competes and does well now in agility, obedience, tracking and hunt tests. He is very active and fast. Be sure he is getting his regular puppy veterinary visits and give him the opportunities to exercise, I’m pretty sure it is a stage they go through.

[@donwittke5454]

@@bluesky7126 also, we crate train all of our pups, so when not under my direct supervision or attached to my waist with his leash he was in his crate. There were many times he didn’t do his business when I took him outside. That’s ok, as long as he has learned he can’t go inside. I would take him outside every two hours (I’m retired) and immediately after waking up from a nap. He was not completely house broken until six months, which was slow compared to all the other Goldens we have had. Enjoy your time with your pup, it’s an awesome journey

You have to be careful as a general rule. My old family dog grew up with getting frequently hugged and he knew that it was a display of love. He could give the deepest, most audible sigh when getting a good hug. But I think it was 'learned' for him. Hugging is a human thing.

We have to use grain free food as we have 3 dogs and one is allergic to grain. We can use oats with her now but for a while we were grain free. We use added Taurine for the Goldens to make sure that their hearts are protected from DCM. We also use heart healthy grain snacks for them. It can be done. 😉

We are lucky enough to have a three year old golden grand doggie. She is the most beautiful, loving and smartest dog we've ever known and we really enjoy our time with her. I think the goldens' most endearing trait is their intuition as they seem to know exactly what you are thinking.

We've had 6 retrievers in the last 14 years. 5 Goldens and 1 Flat Coat. So far, we've only had 1 Golden that you could call "sensitive". And that was just with loud noises. Except thunder for oddly. He was a rescue with some bad history. Our Flattie is sensitive to thunder and gun shots, but nothing else. Four of our Goldens were red, field line dogs, so that may have a lot of influence. The "Comet" looking, confirmation line dogs are over bred which lead to a lot of problems.

[@demizer1968]

Yeah, it’s amazing that coat color is such a big indicator for how well the dog is trainable. I have friends with white/blond goldens that are definitely not field dogs. They’re even afraid of water. With mine, they were part fish and nothing else was available a mud puddle would do

Had golden retrievers for over 30 years, but I am happier with them than with people. I live in the UK. We feed our dogs wheat free food, 2 retrievers we had couldn't eat wheat, it would make them ill. The food is not grain free, it is just wheat free. We give them Harringtons dry dog food with tinned dog meat. We now check ingredients for all dog treats. We no longer have the retrievers that had problems with wheat as they died or were put to sleep at ages 12 and 14. Though our current 1 year old retriever is the great nephew to the one put to sleep at 12. They all come to sit on my lap for a cuddle and are spoilt rotten, but not to their detriment.

[@LH-lv4zs]

The grain-free diet being bad for Goldens is not necessarily true. That study was never validated. Additionally, many dogs have grain allergies. Most dog food companies solved the grain-free issue by adding Taurine into the food.

I had a pup who was at least one quarter Golden. Her daddy was half and half Lab. I don't know her mixed Mom's composition. You could see the Goldie genetics in Lady. She was small but she had the coat and the smile. When I potty trained her, I never scolded. I would say in surprised voice,"What did you do?" Then I would reassure her it was ok and clean it up with no fuss. After a very short time, she started coming into the bathroom with me where there was a floor drain. She would always go when I did🤭so I would praise her and then wash it away. She learned that was her safe place if she couldn't get outside, like during a thunderstorm or something. As a result, it was a normal event for her and she never broke training in the 10 years I had her. I had actually given her to my husband when we separated because he really needed her. She was with him when he died suddenly and alone. Even tho he wasn't found for 24 hours, she held it. The police officer fed her and walked her. She stayed alone til I could get there the next day and she still held on. She was the most wonderful dog but I had to find her a more suitable home. She was used to space and started having trouble with the stairs, as did I. 3-4 times a day of steep steps was too much for two old ladies. .

Just got my first Golden Retriever pup and will add that they generally don't like it when you eat their food.

Yay! You're going to have so much fun!

[@chheanghong6826]

Hello dear! Can they live outside if I have a friend for him?

[@Random-c5n]

My golden is always eating at her paw fur to try get rid of it so I’m not sure about the first point

[@ex0stasis72]

I tend to kneel down and greet my golden with wide open arms and a high pitched voice, even through I'm a guy. She often gets really excited, goes and grabs a chew toy (or shoe) in her mouth, and comes and presses herself into me like a cat.

Is it the same for Labradors ?
