How do I care for a Golden Retriever puppy?

i just got a golden retriever puppy too and i really enjoying having her around she can be a little naughty but she has been fairly easy to train she can already shake and weve only had her 3 weeks

Keep your golden’s weight down. Overweight dogs have more health problems, including heart trouble and arthritis.

Step 2Learn about the health problems associated with this breed: hip and elbow dysplasia, cataracts, congenital heart disease, epilepsy, thyroid disorders and allergies.

Step 3Brush your golden weekly to help keep shedding down. This breed sheds year-round.

Step 4Bathe the dog infrequently; it doesn’t require special grooming and can be washed at home.

Step 5Make sure to trim this dog’s nails monthly to prevent foot problems.

Step 6Remember that retrievers try very hard to please and train fairly easily as long as you are consistent and patient with them.

Step 7Keep your retriever inside if at all possible. This is an extremely social dog, and it will be very unhappy if left alone outside while its family is together in the house.

Step 8Check with your vet regarding anal expressions – some dogs need help with this and it’s a job better left to a professional. Look for signs like the dog dragging its bottom along the floor.

Step 9Be prepared to enjoy a good 10 to 14 years with your dog, as this is the average life expectancy of a golden retriever.
