(Part 2) Best products from r/goldenretrievers

Hey! It's a Halti harness, and I have it paired with the leash.

I can't recommend it enough. It's super easy to put on and take off. Also, he gets excited when squirrels run by. I had a harness like this before, which he was easily able to pull with. With this harness, I can control him from the chest and back, which makes it really easy to keep him under control.

it's the cheapest but also the most popular pack on amazon... and it's really good actually! you have to keep the two packs balanced or it'll sag to one side. i've only gone on one hiking trip with it but toby tried to hit every rock on the mountain with the pack and it's still in good condition. so i think it'll do just fine.

My solution is to not leave tennis balls or ropes laying around since they are easy to be picked apart/destroyed. I use those toys when I am actively playing with my dog (about 2 years old). Anything that can't fall apart with ease can stay out and about.

Pick him up one of these Nylabone Chew Toys. They last for quite some time and my dog LOVES chewing on it. Just don't step on it or watch out for your pup dropping it on your feet!

Their patience is amazing!
We picked up a game from the book "A Dog Called Scholar" which we've taught to all of our goldies over the years. "Not Bought, Paid For" and they're just the best at it. Treat/toy/other desirable object and the command "Not Bought," they don't touch it until you declare it "Paid for!" No matter how long that may be. Goldens have the patience to be great at this one.

The more darker golden is Lola, she is 4 years old! The younger light color is Odis, this little monster is 7 months old! He's high energy. For toys, for these two. Ropes seem to work. These are all Canadian prices and on the Canadian Amazon

Puppies will like to chew on everything because of the teeth are coming in and they hurt. Anything tough should help. My pups like sticks from the yard😂. If they help then hey, why not.

I've tried a few over the years. Recently we switched from Science Diet Advanced Fitness to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W5SLB8?refRID=ST6TKSR0XVJR7K8C9P89&ref_=pd_bia_nav_t_1

My golden loves the new stuff. LOVES

Amazon is the best

The best purchase I have made in this regard is this carpet rake. Take 2 minutes to rake the carpet before vacuuming and save the machine a lot of work in picking up all the hair. The rake catches the hair between tines so you can dispose of it easily. Also, you do not have to take the vacuum apart as often to untangle the beater brush and intake.

My dog eats Pro Plan Sport. it came highly recommended from his breeder. And he has a nice shiny coat to go with his crazy energy.

Also, it might be worth it to get amazon prime just for the dog food. Its cheaper than the pet stores and free shipping.

You should look into an Easy-Walk Harness. The leash clips at the chest and it prevents the dog from pulling. They work really well, and without it (just using a collar), my Golden will pull me down the street- and I'm a big guy. He's very prey driven too (squirrels, chipmunks, etc.). It's like walking with a totally different dog when he's not wearing it.

Its your dog and you can do as you wish, but a lot of people (myself included) aren't big fans of those pronged/pinch collars. They are painful and if not used correctly, can cause harm.

In any case, I'n not here to start a controversy, he's a beautiful dog. Enjoy him!

That’s the link to it! Definitely a simple option and it works pretty well!

If you discover that she likes to catch or fetch balls, these ChuckIt balls are the best we've found. Our golden will chew a tennis ball into little bits in about 10 minutes but these things are nearly indestructible. They also float if Penny has a place to play in the water.

Haha wow if you scroll down the page it says frequent buyers also purchase: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002TNF9V6/ref=pd_aw_fbt__petsupplies_img_2?refRID=02SBZN505YZ7M5NRS1X5

Kitten mittens, except for pups

Yeah, mine was over 2 years ago. I don’t remember the brand, but my mom recently got one like this but with three sides at Costco. If you’re a Costco person? Just keep an eye out!

Ninja Edit: Amazon has really similar ones.

I’d be careful though, it only comes in one size and it’s pretty tight on my small head

My favorite is the Oster undercoat rake. Its very efficient and my dog loves being brushed with it. I have a slicker brush and FURminator and they're both decent, but they are more time-consuming and my dog has mixed feelings about being groomed with them.
