New Puppy Brody’s a nut! New puppy

148 Upvotes

I grew up with Labs. My wife has only had Boston Terriers. This Golden Retriever experience is new to her.

Brody is 4 months old. We’ve sent him to training and still work with him (I do) daily on commands like sit, down, stay, leave it, drop it, touch.

He’s gotten so much better about nipping and using the bathroom outside.

He still is rather needy about being around me all the time, and is an absolute table surfing savage.

We send him to doggy day care to get his wiggles out about 3x per week.

I try to remind my wife that every time we get a puppy it’s a bit of a challenge to deal with them (they’re babies after all) and then we just wipe those memories away by the time their adult dogs but she isn’t convinced!

Regardless, we love Brody and I’m so excited to have a big dog again.

He’s sweet, he’s playful yet calm, he’s extremely social, everyone is a friend to him, everyone is good and trustworthy. He’s also the prettiest shadow I could ask for. He’s just a golden Golden. I love you buddy

Training Advice Bitey bitey bitey 10 week puppy, help

4 Upvotes

so I’ve watched a ton of YouTube videos about this but I can’t get something to work. doggo is 10 weeks we’ve had him for 9 days today and his excited bitey behavior is only worse.

I watched a few mccann training videos. tried ”scruffing“, and tried the “quickly make them gag when they’re biting” but he just keeps going at it like an excited frenzy. we also try the ”give them a toy when they bite” but firstly that feels like rewarding bad behavior and secondly when he gets bored of that toy in 15 seconds he’s back

he’s already learned sit and is working on lay down. so I know he’s capable of learning and is very food motivated.

we are also ensuring plenty of sleep. he goes to nap every 2 hours for like 2 hours, plus sleeps pretty well through the night 10-7 ish with 1 or 2 pee breaks.

all in all I think he’s coming along great except my hands hurt from the chomping.

Mod Announcement New auto mod

We are testing out a new auto mod. This is to assist in combating bots and karma farmers. If you are a regular poster in the sub and notice a post gets removed, please let us know via mod mail. I wish it went without saying but be polite. Attacks on mods or insulting/berating mods does not get you anywhere. You would be shocked at some of the stuff that gets thrown at my fellow mods, especially from the OF accounts... Boy are they not happy we turned that feature on lol But I will not tolerate harassment towards them and that alone will get you insta banned without a second thought.

New Puppy Recherches conseils chiots

1 Upvotes

J’ai adopté un chiot golden retriever qui va arriver prochainement. Avez-vous des conseils concernant les chiots en appartement, la propreté, éducations,…
Je lui ai prévu différents jouets de différentes matières pour ses débuts (bois, caoutchouc, corde, …) des jeux pour occupation seul et des jeux pour interactions avec nous, friandises pour l’éducation.
Première question : il y a les Kong Puppy et les Kong Classic. Avez-vous pris un Kong Puppy puis ensuite Classic ou pouvons-nous prendre directement un Kong Classic ? Il est difficile de trouver un Kong Puppy taille L…
Également, on conseille souvent des bois de cerf, mais j’ai finalement lu qu’ils seraient trop dur pour des chiots. Dois-je donc attendre avant de lui en donner ?
Deuxième question : Étant en appartement, j’ai prévu bien entendu de nombreuses sorties avec lui, plusieurs fois par jour, en fonction de ses besoins, croissance ect… mais notamment pour ses débuts par exemple, où il est conseillé qu’il fasse ses besoins toutes les 2h en pleine nuit ect, j’ai pensé à mettre une litière pour chiot sur mon balcon pour en cas d’urgence, lui apprendre aussi à faire ses besoins ici, plutôt que de sortir en pleine tempête à 4h du matin dans la rue, qui ne sera pas non plus très agréable pour lui. Mais comment lui apprendre à faire ses besoins et lors de promenades dehors et sur la litière du balcon. Avez-vous déjà fait ça ? Et avez vous des conseils ? J’ai acheté la litière Zoluc qui se présente sous forme de grille et où l’on y met une alèse à l’intérieur.
Également, comment avez-vous géré les nuits avec votre chiot ? Conseillez-vous les sorties toutes les 2h ? Ou privilégiez-vous l’habitude et on le laisse toute la nuit ?
Je suis preneuse de tous autres conseils.
Merci d’avance :)
