We finally picked up our Golden Retriever puppy yesterday. He is 8 weeks old today and my god his is so adorable!
It's hard when you're training him and you have to be tough with him...it breaks my heart to do it...but I know it'll make him a well behaved dog later on.
Very cool ... I actually pick up my second puppy this Saturday ... I love Dogs.
Looks like u have some good areas of grass for him to dig up ... hahaha
Yeah my sis owns two of them and we've "puppy-sat" for them quite a few times since they were quite young so we have a good idea on what works and what doesn't. They can be a handful if you don't jump on top of the bad habits real early like what I'm doing with him now.
This one is pretty damn smart though, this afternoon I've gotten him to sit on command twice...he's learning quite well! Positive reinforcement is fantastic with Goldens as they thrive on affection.
We've called him "Django" (Pronounced Jang-go), after the famous gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. We're both musicians and he is an incredible one that we both really like...so it was a natural choice and an easy one!
Lee I love the AYC comment hahahh that's gold
Yeah takumi we have a fair yard which is great for him...he's been trying to eat and dig up so much grass it's not funny...but it is cute haha!!

You've gotta be tough-love. Hell, I've gotten on all fours and snarled/barked at the dogs with them on their backs. The missus finds it hilariously accurate.
