Omg! This was really helpful. I’m the main caregiver to our 8 no old golden. She LOVES disobeying me and things like putting her in her kennel when she need to calm down but now she runs and hides behind my 8yr old daughter. She doesn’t look sad she literally looks like she’s taunting me!😂 She also loves to grab things she’s not suppose to have (or thinks she’s not suppose to have) and she taunts me with whatever that thing is. She does this trot kinda run with perked up ears. If i ignore her she gets closer and closer as she runs past. She’s SUCH a teenager.😂
@@cj3720 it’s getting better but yes that’s good advice. I think it’s a lot about consistency. Some of it Hass to do with your age, and I can see some of it passing already.
Love the information! My Golden Atticus is almost three and he still have those teenage moments😮💨 luckily we got him into agility and always find new things to yeah him to keep his mind busy. Currently working on bringing in the mail. Goldens are ❤.
We have an 8 month old boy that we have had for 5 weeks he's our 1st Golden Boy & it has been extremely challenging but we love our Crazy Cooper lol We'll be happy when this stage ends
Thank you for this video. Great timing because my golden is now 6 months and he is a little monster now. He is still my handsome good son, but he is in this phase now.
Great video! My dog is 13 years old now and is the best boy in the world. He's not a Golden, but I totally remember his teenage stage. Oy, for a while I called him The Devil Dog. He was so bad and ornery. There was a dead frog on the sidewalk and I told him to, "leave it," which was a command he was usually pretty good with. He looked at me, then the frog, then back to me, and then grabbed it in his mouth. The look in his face was pure, "you can't tell me what to do!" 😂😂
Our Golden is a bit of an odd ball. His “teenage” rebellious period was actually from 3.5 to 7 months. He was a little red eye devil who had no off switch unless he’s in training. We couldn’t tell if he was cute because he was just a frustrated blur. He needed a job BAD! He became manageable when we started to take him off-leash to the beach and the forest. At 9 months he was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and put on a strength training workout routine similar to the ones for agility dogs. That’s when the real transformation began. He walked on leash for about an hour early in the morning, another half an hour at around 10. At noon We did his very demanding (mentally and physically) strength training for about 45 mins, followed by stretching and a full body relaxing massage for usually around 15 mins. After a nap, he did his 1.5-2 hr forest adventure before dinner. After that he basically passed out for the rest of the day until the next morning. We did this everyday for over 6 months. He turned into the calmest and the most settled but very athletic dog even before he was 1.5 years old. Now at 6 he is happy either doing nothing or going on hikes all day. It doesn’t matter. The transformation is so incredible we almost forget what a nightmare he was if I didn’t have numerous broken jackets and shirts as reminders. 😅
PLEASE do not let your dog to roam off-leash except in specifically designated areas (aka an off-leash dog park). I can't count the number of times I have had dogs jump on me and/or lunge at me, trying to get at my dog. All the while, the owners casually stroll towards me, saying "Come." over and over again as if their dog will magically stop attacking if only they say it 48 times exactly. Your dog will NOT listen to you. Even if they did, if your dog gets into an alteration with a dog passing by, you will usually be held responsible no matter what happened. It pisses me off when my dog and I get attacked because some youtube video told the owner (that is usually their excuse) to let their untrained dog wander around the neighborhood without a leash.
Day three of ownership of an 8 week old 🐶 pup. Every single toy/purchases you recommended on your website has been a hit. 🤯 The three ring rope; bacon keys 🔑; and goose squeak toy. The leash is high quality too. I get my crate and pen today. I literally I’m running to the sidewalk to get it. Without the pen; my life is a shepherd. I mean my goodness these little pups are elusive. 🏎️ 5:1 indoor to outdoor potty ratio. 🤝 🤦♀️ 😡 But it’s been the best experience. 😆 tons of laughs, snuggles, and nips.
My teenage baby boy is definitely all these. 😅 He’s quite a handful but I’ll get through this. I still love him so dearly no matter how many things he has destroyed and our garden became an empty lot. 😂😅
as a person having a nearly 17 month old intact male labrador, all u gotta do is change the dog breed mentioned in the video and boom you got a video on teenage labs😂
My dog's not a retriever. Does it mean that everything described in this video WON'T happen to my dog? Because if this video just describes what EVERY dog goes through during adolescence, the title is misleading.
Watch “Do This Every Day For A Calm Golden Retriever” next: ua-cam.com/video/BXt31L_E8l4/v-deo.html
My golden passed the AKC Good Citizen test and listened to every command I gave him whenever he felt like it.
My boy buddy is such a teenager lol he’s gunna be 2 in June 2023 and he’s starting to become an awesome young man, smart, funny, and intelligent.
that's great!
😊

If the pup is ignoring you and not paying attention to your training, put them on a leash and don’t take it off outside.

I can relate to this. My golden boy is 15 months and has found a new love for digging in the garden again 😂
The joys of having teenagers 😅

they are the best! 💛
Bro when my golden retriever became a teenager, he made me remember that one time I didn’t give him and extra treat. He made me remember.
Very great advice!!

oh no!! Frustrating at the time... great story now haha
Dogs know all the good things to pick up
Thankyou for this video. I thought my 6 month old golden was broken 😆. I feel better knowing its normal for his erratic behaviour.
Haha you're not alone!

wow what a journey! Sounds like you all did a great job at taking care of him
Mine stays pretty calm as long as I take him to the dog park every single day to play fetch. The back yard just isn't big enough.
All my Goldens have been goofballs till they were three. The jumping on everyone to get pets and give kisses is the worst part to get through.
yes! My Golden does a little half jump right now. You can see he's learning, but he still wants to jump and give kisses

They're a lot of work, but they're the best! Enjoy puppyhood
My boy is 8 months, a total goofball but definitely having his obnoxious teenage phase - bless me with patience lol 😂
Haha it’ll get better!!!
All large dogs are difficult during teenage years. We have rhodesian ridgebacks and goldens are angels compared to RRs.
ha that's good to hear!
My girl Goldie is real active at almost 😅 one year 😂
We have an eight month old garden and he is a monster lol
haha it'll get better!
My golden wasn't a problem as a teen but now I have a teenage Shelties who has become the dog from hell.
I’m glad to hear Goldens aren’t the worst 😂
This is actually a really informative video, and the general principles apply to lots of other breeds also (although the timeframes might vary) 👍🏻
thanks!
"remember when you were an emo teen?" ITS NOT A PHASE MOM!!!
I hate go to my favorite, so I love pugs
My teenage baby boy is definitely all these. 😅 He’s quite a handful but I’ll get through this. I still love him so dearly no matter how many things he has destroyed and our garden became an empty lot. 😂😅
It's a good thing they're so cute and lovable
Mine brings in the flowers 🌸!

teenage labs must be a joy too then 😂
@@goldenhearts8822 its like joy and exhaustion mashed into one😂
😂 yes, they sure do mellow around 3yrs.
I guess that is for any Retriever.
yep!
Video idea : Common golden skin diseases
Please I need this
that's probably a good question to ask your vet
@@goldenhearts8822 thats cold 🥶
Will go to retrievers

Prime digging age. Ask me how I know.
You need to give them constant attention... don't buy one
Control the environment and not teach the dog to control himself it’s the worse advise ever!
