Before bringing your new Golden Retriever home, it is important to prepare to ensure that they have a happy and healthy transition.

Educational preparation should include researching and reading up on the breed and vital health needs for Golden Retrievers, as well as learning basic commands and training tips for the puppy.

In some cases, they may even reach upwards of 90 pounds and up to 30 inches tall. Golden Retrievers tend to have an outgoing, friendly personality, making them not only well-suited for a variety of family settings, but also fairly obedient and easily trainable.
Golden Retrievers are active dogs that require plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. The amount of exercise your Retriever needs varies depending on their age, size, and energy level. Generally speaking, a full grown Golden Retriever requires roughly 60 to 90 minutes of vigorous exercise daily, including a variety of activities like walking, running, swimming, hiking, or playing fetch.

Absolutely! Golden Retrievers are known for being kid-friendly due to their goofiness, loyalty, and gentle nature. These happy-go-lucky dogs are known to be great playmates for young children, as they provide hours of snag and relish in a good belly rub.

Training a Golden Retriever requires consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Start by teaching the basics with commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. Begin in a low-distraction environment, like your home, and have treats and a clicker on hand. Use the clicker to provide immediate positive feedback when your dog does something right. Reward good behavior with treats and verbal praise. As your pup’s skills improve, gradually introduce new distractions and directions like “down” and “leave it”.
