Being a Golden Retriever Owner I can tell that it's not as easy as it seems to raise a Goldie. Even though they are one of the most intelligent and gentle dogs, there are quite a few challenges that every new parent goes through. So I decided to share all the advice and tips for raising a Golden Retriever.
I am so glad to have found this video. A golden is my dream dog, I have wanted one my entire adult life and will soon be in a realistic position to get a dog. But being single and working full time this is my number one biggest worry, even though my own parents did it with our dogs when I was growing up (2 cockers and then later a golden cross rescue). I will be living close enough to work to pop back on lunch breaks and also have the means to hire a dog sitter for puppy visits until bladder control gets better. I can also work from home a day or two each week. I don't do anything on evenings and weekends so I have all of that time outside of work to devote. I have so, so much love to give but I really want make sure I can do it right. This video is definitely reassuring that I can make it work. Thank you! Will definitely be watching all of your other golden videos :D
I use a baby camera/monitor to keep an eye 👁 on things at home with my fur baby. Also have plenty of his toys, water, food & snacks 🙂
Love that! Cheers to being an responsible dog owner. We need more of you.
My whole family was gone and the moment when my mom returned, the retriever was laying there on the floor with an actual expression of sadness compared to any other sad movie
gave a nice treat just as we exited,he was so glad to see us leave,had a camels bladder.
Well they are our Golden Retrievers after all ;)
We are a family of eight. Our golden is 2 1/2 years old and never truly been alone. When we all went on vacation, he went with us. When everyone else is at work, school, out shopping, grandma is usually home, and our golden and grandma are always cuddling or sleeping. He is a very happy doggo, and loves the whole family.
I currently have my 6th Golden and have always owned dogs in pairs or even 3 not just Goldens but other breeds as well. Right now with my new Golden pup I also have a Shih Tzu rescue. I have never had a problem leaving any of them. I start out with crate training, then a restricted area and by 18 months or so they have had the run of the house. If I am gone more than 5 or 6 hours, I have someone come in to let them out or walk them. I think having 2 dogs at once is the key to why I have never experienced separation anxiety along with making sure they have plenty of exercise.
I learned the hard way to take out garbage bags from the kitchen right away, nuff said.
Such innocent souls......
Yeah agreed :)
I’m glad I’m a stay at home mom for the moment… we are about to get a Golden Retriever puppy soon so when she comes she along with my toddler will have my full attention. I am planning to go back to school soon for a career change but that’s going to be later next year so she will definitely be out of puppy phase and we will definitely use these tips when she has to be home alone. Thanks so much for these tips!!
We're glad we could help :)
Didyou get the puppy ? And hows it going as of right now (im also a stay at home of an almost 2 yo and 4 momth old and looking into golden pups for the near future)
@@michaelthomas853 hi there! So sorry for the late response.
Yes, we got her several weeks ago and she is 16 weeks old today. As of right now, it’s going much better than we first started, but still pretty crazy lol. She’s got her potty training down so that’s good, but I remember at first when we got her, I honestly had the post puppy blues, as they call it. I still have it here and there, but it’s not as intense now. It’s HARD. I was expecting it to be hard but wow. Lol. If I were to go back in time I honestly would have waited until my son is at least 6-7 years old, but she’s here now and at least they’ll be able to grow up together. I just want to say, if you decide to get a pup soon, it’s hard, but not impossible. It did a number on my mental health though and the lack of sleep due to her needing to be out to potty 2-3 times a night drove me over the edge! She’s getting better but it’s still hard. I would’ve definitely waited to get her. Now since my husband is working long hours, I don’t have anyone else who can help me except him when he’s off, so taking care and training a pup has been exhausting, in addition to taking care of a toddler. Our pup however, is super sweet. She’s very hyper but sweet. But overall, we would’ve definitely waited a few years when our son would be older. A toddler and a puppy is very, very tiring!
Good luck in your decision!!
Edit: I think with a toddler and an infant, I would definitely wait until they are older kids, but of course it’s up to you! I hope you have additional help so you can take time to recharge when you can :) it’s exhausting!
we have a golden retriever * your vdo and allied instructions are most usefull for us **we never put him alone more than 3 hours (only one time in a week or two weeks ) HE IS RUNNING 11 th year age still walks minimum 8 km (4x2) per day and mau 4 to 5 km in - winter* some time he like to loke cooked food
Your golden will get bored and exhibit unwanted behavior if you leave them alone all day, but it can be fine. Just don't get upset if you find something chewed on. Take them out right before you go to work and first thing when you get home. Try to keep a consistent schedule so they know when to expect you. They will bark at anyone they see or hear outside, not so bad during the day but if you work night shift, your neighbors may not like you so much...
Tried 3 trainers after pandemic and tried to socialize her. Stil cannot stay at home alone. Obsessed with his owner, in the end wherever we go, we go together... Think not twice but ten more times before having it, goldies are like the best loving creatures here, but they want to be with you.
If you want a pet, you have to take on the responsibility. Goldens love people so they will always want to be with you.
Yes that is absolutely correct :)
My parents are saying I can get a dog when I’m twelve, which is next year. I’m really excited and hoping I can convince them earlier :)
My golden retriever, Betty Kitten, used to rip things up when she was left on her owh. I miss you, Betty.

Golden Retrievers are the best!
Never ever had trouble with my Golden Retriever’s but obviously I had 4 keys 🔑 in my neighborhood for dog walkers and just play friends to take him outside….
I tried to make sure someone took him out no more than 4-6 hours without issues and on the rare occasions 10 hours without incident but he wasn’t crated after 4 months old
I’ve got another Golden Retriever puppy coming on the 23rd of July but happily I’m now retired so Dillon will never need to be alone very long
Golden Retrievers can be left alone for up to 4 hrs max, depending on their socialization, training, background, previous experience, health, and age. Puppies should not be left home alone for longer than 1 hr. They are incredible dogs to own ❤🐶
Yes they surely are incredible :)

Omg noooo now I can’t get a puppy bc I have to let him alone for 4 hours
Or maybe I can bc after I come home I can play with him until sleep time

Doggy day care is expensive and still well worth it.
Puppies need company and paying for company is worthwhile.
Never had a any trouble with my retriever never did anything to train him
That is so great.
Me either
I love the goldens there babbies
All dogs all babbies
All dogs used to be babbies
My labrador puppy is 9 weeks and he is fine . He Will be alone for 3 hours before my daughter comes Home. He is fine in his pen with his toys, a marrow bone , a dog toilett , water and an open crate. He slept for 2 hours and now he is playing. I watch him on camera. He also sleeps the whole night since he came to us.
Fun fact: my puppy learned being alone but when home put another room scream
I have to leave my golden at home alone because i have to go to school and my sister also go to school and my mother also on work we go 7am and come at home back at 1 pm.
Is it ok??
My LUCK stays alone. He is so fabulous. He takes of the house. He respects home and everything. He never did bathroom at home. He can hold 18 hours. We go for walk in the morning and evening. He loves and respect little kids. He loves his toy. When guests come he always brings his toy to the guests. He will shake hand and then show his tricks, roll over and loves to play etc. LUCK is the most handsome and loving boy. He is the most lovable in the community. ❤❤❤❤❤

My 1 year old, lost his people Mom, she died suddenly, back in October. And was left in the backyard a few months. He was out in the country, so not a lot of socializing,
He has a lot of issues. Biting me, jumping, like he sorta attacks me. I don't know if he saw my sister in law, die. Or taken by ambulance.
Your Videos are best
I’m planning to hopefully get a golden and I have school and My dad has work and my grandpa had a dog so I could ask him to watch my doggo
I dont actualy have a Dog or a golden Retriever especialy but i really want one so when i am am moving out to a house whit a medium garden for a Dog,then can i let the Dog outside the house (in garden) whit toys and a watter bottle for some hours?
Can I leave a pup for 6 hours cause of school. If I have food and it water always ready After I come home I can bring it for walks
IF MY DOG IS 4-5 years And I have to go anywhere for 15 Days. Will he ok (on 15 days he will go in My friend's house and my dog plays with him) plz reply 😀
I would drive home at lunchtime every day to let Rex out to go potty and play.
That is actually pretty smart but it is only possible when you work near your home because many people work very far from their homes and it can be difficult for them to go back and forth during that 1 hour lunch break!
That’s my plan. I’m gonna live 4 minutes from my job. So she would be alone for 4 hours at the most.
Is it ok if there is a sibling for the dog to play with while you are away?
I work but it's a part-time job only
hey! I know am late, but to say before buying/adopting a dog, should I buy 2 of them? I am a student and I stay at school for 7 hours. (8am-2pm) My mother also stays at home, but she doesn't like dogs so much too say. My dad loves them but he is at office 2 days of a week (rest days r work from home.) I'll buy/adopt them in summer vacation so I can teach them b4 school starts again. I'll teach them these things you mentioned in the video. But again, should I buy 2 of them so it doesn't feel left out?
I quit My Job just to stay with my Golden Retriever at home. Im using my friends internet and fon right now.
Wow that is so great :) Your golden must really be a lucky dog!
Can I leave them alone for like 7 hrs if I came home once in between and there are two dogs ?
Leaving them for 6-7 hours without a human is never a good idea as we have mentioned in the video but if your golden is well house trained and can be accompanied by your other two dogs well, Its something that you can try but yes always inform or give your neighbors your house key in case of emergency or atleast appoint a care taker to give them food and take them for potty breaks in between those 7 hours. I'm glad I could help :)
What if I need to go to school for 6-7 hours everyday and my mom Is always at home but she isnt a dog person. I cant imagine her taking my dog outside or cuddle with him😬 and with my dad is the same thing but he loves dogs. Ive always wished for a golden but my parents Say Its too big for our apartment and my dad prefers a small dog😭😩
You can always take Dog Sitters or Doggy Day Care as an option😄 Thank you for the Comment. We're so glad we could help :)
My golden is a puppy about 5 months old she just sleeps all day
I wish my golden slept all day. She sleeps for 4 hours a day. 5 at most. That's with me crating her.
yes u can,my dog use that time to sleep lol😂
Plzz made video on age wise weight chart for golden retriever and diet schedule
that would be so helpfull
That is infact a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
so i can turn on a tv and leave for a day?
Well I have School for 6 hours So I will be at the school And some of my family members will be home every day will the Golden retriever still be lonely or? Please reply
Not unless he is familiar with other members!
@@RetrieverCare Retriever care can i ask u something?
@@Zslyx.Peacee Yeah sure?
@@RetrieverCare So I already have a dog but it's a street dog my dad thought it was a German shepherd so he bought it, So I'm gonna buy a golden this week will they two get along? :0
@@RetrieverCare And ur Channel Is So Helpful!! :) Ur The best!
Does it matter if you have two dogs
Can you make a video how to train a golden to pee in bathroom or terrace while we are away
Yeah sure! Thanks for the suggestion :)
Hire a dog walker.
Pleas answer to this Questieon ,also can i leav my golden retriver from 7:30 until 15:40 alone at home ??pleas answer
You probably CAN. But it's BEST to hire a dog walker to take him out for a walk around lunch time if you need to do this on a regular basis.
@@jbnewman42 oohh okay thank you very much
"Hire" a neighbouring kid😂
We advise to appoint a professional care taker or to drop your dog at a doggy day care since handling a dog is not a kid's play :)
My have a golden who is 2 mnths old, n really giving me a tough time. She just dosent stop biting us n nw is biting real bad. Never expected this frm goldens. Tried distracting, treats everything but nothing seems to work on her frm stopping her to bite. Can't even pet her or lift her or else she will bite. Plz any suggestion wud b helpful.
Don't worry, this behavior is common in pups as they are teething, within a year you will see change in him..he will not bite at all, distract him by giving tricks also give him more attention and play with him, sufficient sleep can make great difference.
I left my pup alone he opens wooftube 😂😂😂😂😂
God knows what else do they do! ;)
At what age can we take them out fr walk
Why not? Use a crate or a run.
Commenting for youtube algorithms2
Are goldens better than German Shepherd
What are the health problems of golden retrievers and how do I keep my goldie healthy?
I love your videos and learn a lot as I am a great dog lover and I am planning to get a dog soon.
What age is it alright to start the training to let them be alone?
I guess he should be atleast 8-9 months to be left alone
You should start the training from 6 months old. Start by leaving them alone in a room for 2-3 minutes. And slowly increase the time.
Training starts the minute you take them home. It starts with CRATE training. I got my puppy during COVID when I was working from home. When I would "go" to work, I put him in a crate in the living room. This way he was learning to be "alone." I could hear him, but he could not see me. As he grew bigger, I set up an ex-pen around the crate so he would have some more room to walk around and play, but he still had is crate (den) if he wanted to sleep.
When I went out, I set up my ipad and put him 'live' on facebook so I can keep an eye on him via facebook on my phone. I left for shrot periods (run an errand etc.) and the time grew longer as he grew older and was OK with it.
Then, I'd leave him for short periods out of the crate (as in a few minutes) to see how he'd do. At first, he wasn;t thrilled, but he learned to be a champ.
Get TWO.
What if there a baby golden retriever he didn’t got trained yet
Well then, don't leave him alone all of the sudden. They may get stressed out. Start with the training. Start by giving him a toy or a KONG and leave him alone for a couple of minutes. Slowly and gradually increase the time. It may take anywhere from few months to a year until you can leave him alone for a longer period.
Nooooooo we don't wanna work we want a puppy!~
Haha.
NOOO when I leave the golden home alone he literally eats all the cables and break everything
Yes goldens can be mischievous when left alone but encouraging such a behavior could be dangerous for your dog and for you as well. Please firstly house train your dog right away and start dog proofing your apartment where your dog don't have access to cables, glass, toxic foods, etc.
I was the 420th like haha
Haha! Thank you so much for that like :)
If i have a garden, can i train him to just pee and poop in the garden while I'm away
Yes that works too, usually when dogs are left alone, they are trained to pee and poo in the bathroom because everyone don't have a private garden or terrace but yes since you have one it would be great ;)
🎉🎉
get a another dog :D so both can play with each other
That is another solution!
beagle care maam right ???
Haha, kinda
@@RetrieverCare got to know by your voice
Ima have to leave my new retriever pup 8 hrs everyday cuz I have school
Oh okay, can you leave him with your family?
I had one he died😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I know u can’t a lot
😭
Hellooooo! Try chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo it's a life transforming philosophy which I have been practicing for 9 years!
Okay that is good to know :)
No no my pups can’t😂
Everything you just said Is not the way atleast 40% of all dogs live. Sooooo many Americans think it's fine to create there dogs for the whole work day!!!!
I think it very selfish if some people know they don’t have time for goldies but still gets one any way( or any other pet) these pets need attention and love.
leaving them alone for a couple of hours for you to work doesn't mean you don't love them
