My golden retriever

Archive for the ‘Golden Retriever puppies’ Category

It is interesting how a human can get attached to an animal, even though it can not speak, or do many other things that people can. But animals, such as dogs are, can be even more loyal to his owner than any person can be. It can listen without interrupting or shouting back to you, it can also sympathize, sit down with you for hours without getting impatient and it will never betray you. My family and I used to have dogs before we got our Kai and Delta, so we kind of knew what to expect when we decided to adopt two Golden Retrievers from the animal shelter. But we could never imagine that these two little creatures will give us so much love, joy and stronger family bonds! They are both a true treasure and I still remember one summer Saturday when we decided to drive to an animal shelter, where they had two little golden hairy balls. They were found left in a wood, where some person left them in hope that they will die quickly by being eaten by a fox or maybe even found by some other people who were coming there for a walk. Since they were found quickly enough, they were not too hungry, they only had a few ticks and they were yelping for someone to pick them up and gave them a shelter.

Since we were regularly checking the website of this animal shelter, we found this information about them getting two Golden Retrievers from their e-mail, which they are sending every other week and informing people who are about to adopt a pet about new animals that were found. Before that Saturday my family and I sat down at the table and had some really serious talk. We already had a Beagle and since there were already one dog at our house, we did not want him to be insulted of getting new incomers into our house. But since we knew that animals can get use to each other even quicker than people can, we all decided to give it a try, because we all wanted to adopt at least one Golden Retriever somewhere in future anyhow. Well, there were even two Golden Retrievers at once waiting for us to pick them up at animal shelter! So, that Saturday we drove there and saw those puppies playing with each other, not knowing what future will bring them. They were amazing healthy little creatures just waiting for someone to give them all possible love, shelter and care. And we agreed to take them home with us immediately. My children were truly unbelievably excited that day and they fell in love with the puppies in a second.

They could not even fell asleep because of the excitement and they kept walking down the stairs to our living room where we kept our new family members in a big open box with a blanket and two pots with food and water. We also prepared them a crate with lots of old paper in case they defecated or urinated, since they needed to do that after each meal. And when the first night was over, we excitedly started to train my Golden Retrievers Kai and Delta the very next day by taking them out on the grass yard, with all prepared toys, balls and gum bones for them to be able to play with them. And so our new chapter of adopting our Kai and Delta began. Do you want to know how it continued? Well, be back soon, as I am going to tell you about all the adventures of our new little fur balls very soon.

My Golden Retrievers, which names are Delta and Kai, are truly an amazing dogs, not just because they are my dogs, but also because they have great character, temperament and are very obedient. Obedience is one of the main characteristics of this breed and since this breed also likes to please their owners, it is no wonder then why training Golden Retriever puppies or adult dogs can be a true pleasure for all family members. Before I got Delta and Kai, I already knew how to train and raise them and they were 6 weeks old when I brought them into our house. In this article I am going to give you a couple of tips on training Golden Retriever puppies, since these cute little fur balls grow really fast and since socialization and also training is very important for dogs, especially during their first 3 months of living, you will need to train them manners, obedience and also activities. These three trainings are crucial for puppies, as they will remember for the rest of their lives what they learn in this period of time and this training will also develop their temperament and behavior.

The dog school, which my two Goldens attended, gave them a good foundation for further training at home and I would suggest attending the dog school to all dog owners, especially if you want a well socialized dog with good manners. Training Golden Retriever puppies will not eat your nerves, especially because they will love to please you and everyone around them. They will obediently retrieve all sorts of toys, gum bones and wooden sticks, as Goldens are born retrievers. Since Golden Retrievers are very intelligent dogs, they will remember everything quickly, as they also have good memory. If you want your Golden to be a good dog, you will have to teach him general behavior not only around people, but also other animals and pets, house breaking, as they must know that there is only one place in the house for this. Another part of behavior training will also include leash training, if you want to go to the town to a crowd of people and not only this; there are also other situations he will have to adopt and learn how to behave when they occur.

Since my Kai and Delta are really well trained dogs with good manners, there is almost no situation they could not manage. As for activity training, it is easy to guess that all Retrievers love retrieving all sorts of things, also herding and searching, rescuing and you must never go outside with them, not having at least a small ball or a wooden stick, so that they can actively play with it. I know that this activity training positively affected my training of Golden Retriever puppies and I would definitely suggest you do the same. If you would like your Golden Retriever puppies to listen to you and obey all your orders, you must teach him obedience. Obedience training is crucial for executing your command, so joining obedience training will make positive effects on both; you and your dog. But before joining this type of training, I would suggest you first start behavior training, as this training Golden Retriever puppies is something all owners of this or any other breed should first take into consideration, if they want to have a well trained and behaved dog.

You should also know that once you enroll any obedience training, you will have to attend it regularly and you will also have to determine first, what is it that you want your dog to learn, because puppies, no matter whether we talk of the same or some other breed, are different by their temperament and character and some will learn faster, while some slower and some will excel at some specific training skills, while some others will excel at completely another ones. There is more I could tell you about training Golden Retriever puppies, but I am going to save the rest for some other time, so be back soon!
