Lies About Golden Retrievers đŸ€„

“You don’t need to train a Golden — they’re naturally well behaved.”

“They’ll grow out of pulling on the lead.”

“They’re always gentle with kids.”

👆 These are just a few of the BIGGEST lies told about Goldens
 and believing them is why so many families end up frustrated, overwhelmed, and convinced they’ve got a ‘bad dog’.

Goldens are incredible, but they’re also high-energy, sensitive, and clever. Without the right training (and yes, it needs to be breed-specific 👈) you might find yourself crying on a park bench (IYKYK 😏)

💛 Your Golden deserves better. And so do you.

Ever turned your car radio down so you can see better? 🧐
Sounds silly
 but it’s actually a real brain thing called inattentional deafness.

And here’s the kicker: your golden does the exact same thing.
When they’re nose-deep in a sniff, they’re not being stubborn or ignoring you — they literally can’t hear you yet. đŸ¶đŸ‘ƒ

✹ Be patient. Let them come out of their Insta scroll hole
 then call them over.
This isn’t disobedience. It’s just how their brain works. 💛

Hey Primark, this isn’t cool.

The golden and that gorgeous family? Absolutely Hallmark-card-worthy. I get why you shared this to market your new Christmas PJs (which, btw, are super cute 🎄✹)

But here’s the thing: the majority of dog bites to children happen at home (47%), by their own dog (44%), and over half are to the face or head (52%). And one of the triggers? Kissing the dog—accounting for 14% of bites that end up needing medical attention.

Please, reconsider this post. Remove these images, and reshoot with this beautiful family in a way that’s safe and happy for everyone at home - goldens included 💛

If your golden hits you with The Golden Anchor in protest, you might wanna listen to this one


There’s so much information available online now that it’s often the first place you turn when you have any issues.

Leaky tap? Google it ✅

Sticky window? YouTube ✅

Tax bill confusion? Ask AI ✅

Dog training problem? Instagram đŸ€”

I get it, but as an unregulated industry the internet is awash with misinformation on dog training. Something that looks like a super quick fix that took you 5 seconds to look up on insta - well - it’s rarely the long term solution you’re after.

Dogs aren’t taps, and they can’t be fixed with generic one size fits all solutions.

But you knew that really.

If you want solutions that actually work, you have to look beyond the cookie cutter and truly see the dog.

Learn to listen with curiosity first. Train your golden; not just your dog 💛

You’re not alone. Your golden isn’t ignoring you out of spite—they’re following their genetics. They were bred to notice everything and chase opportunity, not sit quietly waiting for your call.

The good news? When you learn how to train your GOLDEN, not just your dog, recall becomes possible (and even reliable!) And the fastest way to change your golden retriever’s behaviour is to start with your own.

Here’s the truth no one warns you about: Golden Retrievers are NOT easy dogs.

âžĄïž Swipe through this post to see why so many guardians feel overwhelmed, embarrassed, or like they’re “failing”
 when really, they just haven’t been told the full story.

Because when you understand your Golden’s genetics, instincts, and unique needs, everything changes. Instead of fighting against them, you learn how to work with them — and that’s where calm, focus, and connection come from. 💛
