After I lost in the family vote of the name Misty, I suggested the next Golden's name at least end similarly thinking it would make calling them easier. So we named our next Golden Molly. " Come Misty, Come Molly!" Seemed to make sense...Molly has been held in high regard in our family. She has a high quality hunting/ retrieving reputation as well as being a super sweet,kind family Golden!!!!

Misty; she got her name from a family meeting and the name Misty won the vote... Misty loved to jump up on people. That's a trait we don't tolerate at Sharptailridge. So we all worked on training Misty not to jump. And guess what!? Misty was smart and with continued training she went on to do pet therapy in nursing homes and schools. She was such a gentle "old soul"
We miss our Misty!!!

Our son's Golden was named Honey. He trained her and showed her in 4-H. He loved Honey, and Honey loved him!!! Her name came in handy when Josh was a teenager. If anyone teased him about dating someone Josh would just say, " oh, I have a little Honey!" If they asked for details he would add, "my Honey has beautiful auburn hair and we love spending time together. She even goes hunting with me!" He would continue on and on about his Honey and after a bitl of this the teasing would end.😂

Tanner was our first sire. Tanner was very light, a blonde color. He was beautiful!! ( I of course am bias!) He was a good hunter and great Family Golden. He also lived to be almost 15 years old. Tanner grew up with our kids. He showed off and earned many Grand Champion ribbons in 4-H...

Hello friends,
Let's talk about puppy names!!! This could get real fun! I'm going to tell you about the names of our puppies over the years. Feel free to share your puppy names and pictures too.
In the early years, I thought Golden Retriever names should resemble their color...One of our Golden's was named Rusty. Now Rusty was a beautiful rust colored Golden for many years. She lived to 15+years old. But in her older years she turned very gray... She was a great Golden!!!So much for names based on color!🤣

This is a bit more advanced skill to learn. The command to "leave it". Here Eric is at the beginning of teaching Bella to leave it. Bella notices Eric's cap but does pick it up, though she's temped. It is a learning process.

08/14/2024

With continued training and practice Goldens continue to learn and develop their skills. Here is Bella, heeling off leash. Notice how she pays attention to where Eric is going and stays at his side.

08/13/2024

This is Bella. She came for obedience training. When she came she would pull on her leash. Here Eric is teaching Bella to herself nicely without pulling...

As we continue to train Tilly we build on what she has already learned and understands. For example she understand sit, and sit / stay. So we build on that by adding a down command after she sits and build to a down / stay letting go of the leash...

When you start out teaching a puppy to "Heel" on a leash they are unfamiliar with a leash, and don't know what's expected. With lots of patient teaching and encouragement this is what happens. Notice here that Tilly is young but listening and wanting to please! Typical Golden personality that I love! The leash is loose, no pulling going on. She sits when asked and as my feet stop. Tilly is a joy to work with!

08/10/2024

At Sharptailridge we do lots of training of puppies and even adult dogs. Be believe you can teach old dogs new tricks.Lol😂 We currently have young little Tilly here for training. She's a quick study and learning well. On this video she is showing off here understanding of the command stay.

We had so much fun introducing this family to their newly trained puppy Cooper. Cooper went home with his forever family on Sunday. I will post additional pics of Cooper's training this week. At Sharptail, we not only put great genetics together to get you a long living healthy puppy we also train them...

So when traveling with a puppy... Plan ahead, prepare well, have lots of fun and plan on your puppy bring lots of smiles to others too!!!

07/29/2024

Remember to consider climate and temperatures when traveling too. If you are near a lake or water source it gives your puppy a way to cool off as needed and keep hydrated! Of course having a toy in the water only adds to the fun!

07/28/2024

Remember too that even though puppies love to play, and cheerfully participate in the activities they need their rest time too...

07/26/2024

When going for hikes and walks with your puppy, ( we were recently in Colorado visiting our daughter) consider how far your puppy is used to walking and pack extra water for your puppy!

07/26/2024

Think about the places you'll be and The people you'll meet. (Or your puppy is likely to meet) So many people love Goldens but do make sure your friends are ok with puppy companions. They may be so excited that they want them to stay!

07/25/2024

Travel tip: Plan ahead where you'll be going and how you will be including your puppy. They feel safe with you and love to be a part of the action.! Camping? Canoeing? Hiking? Goldens love these things!!!

Training tip for feeding your puppy: 1. Have your puppy sit, 2 put food in front of puppy, 3 wait a second or two, 4 invite puppy to eat. This allows puppy to learn that you are in control, that they can wait and that they will be fed. Remember consistently is key!

Goldens love to follow your leadership, and they want to please you. It's such a win/ win for training!! Don't let your puppy chew on your hands, only licks or kisses! If they chew on your hand say no kindly but firmly, then offer them an appropriate thing to chew on such as a porky puff from Life's Abundance. They love them!

Let's talk training tips!!! #1... Always have your puppy sit before petting your puppy. Puppies love your attention and when they understand they need to sit first they will be happy to do so.

However, these porky puffs from Life's Abundance are a definite favorite for puppy and me!!! This option allows my toes to be pain free and my crocks to stay where I left them! A win/ win!!! Let me know if you need some.
