Golden Life The fun & frustrations of training and sharing life with a Miniature Golden.

My hope is to share what has worked for me and hopefully to have you all share what has worked for you! I am currently hosting this page for informational purposes only and providing an opportunity for us all to share what our pups have taught us.

Remy at 10 months is very inquisitive and super smart. He requires redirection on a regular basis. This morning his favorite treat ball with a few kibbles and a few small pieces of cheese kept him entertained and out of trouble ; ) for about 20 minutes.

This golden puppy at 10 months. He looks all grown up but he is still very much a puppy between his ears!

Remy loves the noisy popcorn maker much better now that he knows he may snag a few stray pieces of popcorn!

Remy at 8 months. They grow up so fast. The first year is critical. Weekly grooming at home and lots of short obedience training sessions on a daily basis are essential. It is easy to add obedience to your daily routines and so many resources online!!

Willingness to engage is a wonderful trait to encourage and foster.

A well trained, confident Golden pup is such a joy.

Playing with toys is an important skill for pups. Remy can only play with toys that can't be shredded. Eating their toys can be very dangerous! Always supervise your pup when he is playing with new toys.

Oh mighty hunter. You may think he is being a slacker and watching tv but what he is really doing is stalking a bug. Puppy brain at its finest.

Dr Ian Dunbar is a brilliant trainer. One of my favorite tips from him is stuffed Kongs. Fill the small end of a Kong toy with string cheese and then fill it with kibble and a special treat or 2 and a splash of water. Put it in the freezer for a pupsicle treat to keep your pup occupied. It can take Remy about a half hour to empty it.

Remy is mostly fearless and would probably excel at agility and landscaping. Once puppy is fully vaccinated at 4 months it is very important to introduce your puppy to as many new experiences, safely, as possible before they turn 6 months old. At 6 months many pups enter a fear stage that can last several months. Daily walks and new experiences as they mature help the pup grow into a confident adult.

Remy loves the water. It is always a good idea to fill all water bowls with fresh new water at the dog park because sometimes dirty paws are in the water and dirty water can be a source of giardia and other parasites that cause diarrhea.

Remy likes to play upside down. Always give your pup safe toys and keep an eye on the pup as they play. Remy can destroy a stuffy toy in 10 seconds or less. This tire toy is still 100% intact. What toys does your pup do best with?
