We started our Golden Retrievers on Raw. I prepare ground up chicken/beef, with heart/liver ect. I then add raw minced vegetables/fruits. We mix with with 50% dry Orijen dog food. She feels the dogs could get salmonella poisoning. Our dogs appear to be doing great on the diet. We took our dogs in to...

I broke my dog in 1 day from this. I fostered a 3 year old Flat Coat Retriever. He marked all over inside buildings. When I picked him up from the vet I put a "Belly Band" with a female pad on the inside. I then wrapped it around his waist covering his penis. When I took him to my home, he...

Just a follow-up. Well, we decided to go ahead and move Anchor into our home with the 2 other Goldens. Before we allowed Anchor into the home, we placed a belly band around his waist. Yes, as soon as he entered the home he tried to mark 3 times. He soon found out that he was peeing on himself. That ...

It looks like we have some decisions to make. Thanks so much for your input.

I have some additional information one of our board members. 1. Anchor (dog in question) has delivered to our vet yesterday and has remained there. 2. In my home are my two other Golden Retrievers, one a neutered 2 year old male, and one spayed 6 year old female, both are permanent residents. What e...

Thank you for your posts and concerns. I have copied and pasted your responses and emailed the Board of our organization for a decision. Thanks!

I volunteer for a Golden Retriever Rescue, and I am getting ready to foster a Flat Retriever, 3 years old, and he has not been neutered, and has lived outdoors for 2. This dog has had minimal human contact, but is friendly to people, other dogs and cats. In 2 days he will be neutered at our vet. We ...

I found her book on the Internet for less than $8.

I found Victoria's book incredible. I learned so much. She puts you inside a dog's body and allows you to see the world from a dog's side. What a wonderful concept. I highly recommend this book. I love the part of the book where the dog is trying to understand why a stranger want to pet his head. Vi...

I thank you for your replies and recommendations. The "Turning their backs" and "ignoring" don't seem to work. Yes he will stop jumping for a moment, or sometimes just follow that person as they turn. My huge concern are the children. He is so loving of them being a child himself...

Can you give a little more background info so that we can help you out? Tell us what his daily routine is like. How much exercise (mental and physical) does he get? What kind of training do you do with him? What do you feed him, how much, how often? Sounds like you're right, he's way too friendly a...

Anyone have any advise for me? I really don't Sergeant to hurt anyone just because he is too friendly.

We have a 9 month old Golden Retriever and just loves meeting new people. When he does, he jumps all over them and mouths them. His mouthing is innocent but recently he caused a skin tear on my neighbor from jumping up on him and mouthing him. He has scared unsuspecting people from his lunges toward...
