How to raise golden retrievers?

If you are lucky enough to be able to raise a golden retriever, congratulations to you, your life will begin to be enriched. But for novices, it is indeed a tricky problem to take good care of the little golden retriever they just brought home. But don’t worry, if you study carefully according to the following points, you can also become a qualified shit shoveler!

So how should we take care of a golden retriever puppy?

1. Usually, when a golden retriever is brought home, it will feel panicked and uneasy because it is unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. At this time, it is best for the owner to prepare a cage in advance and cover it with mats or old clothes. , so that it can rest inside. There may be a few days of adaptation. At this time, the dog will bark non-stop. The owner can also prepare a plush toy to play with it as a companion.

2. Pay attention to feeding: (1) Make sure to eat small amounts and frequent meals. Because puppies have no idea about the issue of fullness, they should not eat too much at one time. The owner needs to strictly control the amount of food each time to ensure the health of the puppy. (2) Do not drink milk. You should use puppy milk powder or goat's milk to feed puppies. Milk can cause diarrhea in puppies. After weaning, if you choose puppy-specific dog food, remember to soak it in warm water in advance. Remember to control the food intake as the puppy's belly will bloat anyway. (3) Supplement calcium and vitamins in a timely manner. Dogs that eat the same brand of dog food for a long time sometimes cannot keep up with the nutrition. You can prepare some nutritional paste and then feed it together.

3. You can’t take a bath, even if it smells bad. This is when your dog is most likely to get sick. If you really can't bear it, you can use a hot towel to wipe it, and remember to keep it warm.

4. After the dog is familiar with the home environment, you can consider taking the dog to the hospital for vaccination. Vaccinations can improve your dog’s resistance and prevent the occurrence of diseases. Remember to get them on time!

5. Even if the owner is vaccinated, the owner cannot take the dog out to play. There are a lot of germs out there, and if your dog is in poor physical condition, there is still a risk of getting sick. It is recommended that dogs wait eight months before considering going outside.

6. When the relationship between the dog and the owner is relatively familiar, the dog can be trained to go to the toilet at a designated location. Food guidance can be used to assist training. Remember not to show emotional expression during this process. Golden retrievers are easier to train with more patient education.

7. In addition to normal training, the owner also needs to spend more time playing with it. It can not only cultivate the relationship between the director and the dog, but also enhance the dog's own resistance through play and exercise.
