Welcome to the Pack...our newest members - Molly & Stella! They are 2 1/2-year-old Golden Retrievers who began their Advanced Obedience High Distraction training this past week. Their owners reached out to us as they were having problems walking both dogs without pulling on leash, increasing excitement issues with some lunging and barking at people on walks, and overall wanted to learn how to be better leaders for their two furry family members.
The golden retriever is a medium-sized breed. Known for their kind eyes, loyalty, and enthusiasm for life, the golden retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. Though historically bred as hunting dogs in the Scottish Highlands, goldens also make excellent family dogs. The dogs usually get along well with children and are incredibly affectionate and intelligent. Golden retrievers make wonderful service dogs and are often very successful as guide, assistance, or search and rescue dogs.
Goldens are active dogs who require daily exercise and thorough training. It is best for a golden retriever to have access to a play yard for romping and to be taken out for a walk a couple of times per day. Golden retrievers get along well with most other dogs and a trip to the free-run dog park is likely to be appreciated.
Golden retrievers are known to be mouthy, carrying things around in their mouths. Have toys and chew bones available to satisfy this oral fixation. This breed likes to be where the action is with the family. They are not suited to be watchdogs, as they are friendly with everyone. Gol den retrievers don’t tend to bark a lot, but they remain puppy-like for a few years, so they will be silly and goofy for a long time.
Welcome to the Always Faithful Dog Training of Omaha family, Molly & Stella! We look forward to helping your owners be the best pack leaders they can be for you so you can become the calm, confident pack members they desire.
