What should I pay attention to when raising golden retrievers?

1. Golden retriever puppies don't need much exercise, especially in hot weather. The best exercise for puppies is to let them run freely on the grass.

2. Never let Golden Retriever play with other dogs rudely. The fast-growing limbs of golden retriever puppies are easy to be injured.

3. Don't take the golden retriever puppy running twelve months ago, which will bring too much pressure to the bones that have not been completely calcified.

Four and a half months ago, don't let Jin Mao go up and down the stairs by himself, but hug him.

If your golden retriever is too fat, don't increase its exercise. First reduce the feeding amount until the weight returns to normal, and then slowly increase the exercise and food intake until the two reach a balance.

6. Swimming is a good exercise. Golden retriever puppies like swimming, but they must gradually adapt to the water. You'd better swim with them.

7. Jin Mao became a dog when he was 2 1 month old. Remember that it is a hound, and it needs proper outdoor exercise and proper food and care.

As long as the owner has enough love and patience, the stubborn little golden hair will eventually become the most beloved big golden hair.

Feeding habits of golden retrievers

Eating habits Eat regularly and quantitatively, and don't overeat. This common sense of life is the same for people and dogs, but dogs have some social habits that people don't have in social and table manners. ...

1. Location-

There are different classes in dog society. If a group of dogs eat in the same rice bowl, the dominant dog will be overbearing and will crowd out younger or lower-ranking companions. In order to prevent weak dogs from not having enough to eat, they should have their own rice pots, and the distance between them should be more than one meter.

2. Time and frequency-

Xiaojin, who has just been weaned, has a particularly good appetite. It is best to feed him three times a day. If you eat too much at one time, it is easy to cause abdominal distension or abdominal pain. Adult dogs can feed two meals a day. Feeding time is fixed at the same time every day, such as after a walk in the morning or after dinner. Of course, the dog won't get angry and refuse to eat just because you don't feed it at seven o'clock every day. Dogs have a flexible sense of time.

3. Drinking water-

Water is the source of life, and it is especially important for dogs that eat dry dog food to replenish water.

If you leave your dog alone at home, leave enough filtered water in the basin so that the dog can have clean water to drink all day. If the water is dirty, it must be replaced quickly. It is best to change enough filtered water after the dog eats and drinks. Some sensitive dogs may prefer thirst to drinking water because the water is dirty.

Clean up-

In dogs, the owner plays the role of leader, so he has the right to control the distribution of food, and the dog will obey your actions of giving food or taking away the rice basin. Leave 15-20 minutes for dogs to eat each time, then clean the rice basin and clean up the leftovers. Don't leave leftovers in the bowl to breed germs, or even the rice basin has moldy marks.

Feeding suggestion supplement

1.2~8 months old is the fastest growing period of puppies, so the food in this period should be completely nutritious special feed for puppies. The special feed for fully nutritious puppies contains all the nutrients needed for puppies' growth and high protein. A high level of protein is necessary for the rapid growth of puppies. In fact, some completely nutritious puppy feeds already contain enough calcium and vitamin D (to help the absorption of calcium), A, B and E, so there is no need to give him calcium tablets and vitamin tablets. As for what kind of fully nutritious puppy feed is suitable for your puppy, please consult a qualified veterinarian if you need to supplement other nutrients.

2. It is a good way to prevent anorexia by using cooked ground beef or leftovers as seasoning and feeding the completely nutritious puppy feed to golden retriever after softening it slightly. Golden retrievers don't like pure feed, especially puppies.

3. If you don't finish it within 10 ~ 15 minutes, you must take the food away and don't form bad habits. Let alone get into the habit of eating snacks.

After 4.8 months old, the growth rate slows down, and more general foods can be added slowly. Leftovers at home (rice is a good staple food for adult dogs) are a good choice, but be careful not to be too salty.

You can give the puppy egg yolk, but not more than three times a week. Feeding is forbidden in protein. Pig liver and beef liver can be fed in small amounts, at most once a week. Visceral foods must be cooked thoroughly before feeding.

6. Only the whole uncut cow bone or pig bone can be given to your dog. Giving him chicken bones, boiled or cut bones, is endangering his life.

7. Train your dog to take things out of his mouth at any time to prevent him from eating harmful things. When training, use big bones, hold them tightly, chew them twice, take them away and repeat these actions, so that he knows that you have the right to control them until you can easily take the food out of his mouth.

Exercise of golden retriever puppies

Practice recommendation (turn around)

Exercise is an important part of this plan to slow down growth. An active puppy can eat more food, so it will be more sure that it gets enough nutrition. In addition, its muscle fat ratio will be more popular, consolidating the ideal goal of the growth reduction plan. Stronger muscles will properly support a more coordinated skeletal system, thus protecting themselves when injured.

Freestyle running is a suitable exercise method for dogs of any age, because it allows them to choose their own speed and level. Of course, this exercise must be carried out in a safe environment. For everyone, this may not be a regular training basis, but it may be a special weekend training, and it is feasible to be selective and flexible.

8-week-old puppies start running close to 1/2 miles, 4-5 days a week, and then increase by about 1/2 miles a week. If you are behind this progress, please don't jump forward and catch up with the weeks behind. Instead, start where you fell. If you have fallen behind for a long time, go back for a few weeks and start training again. As described below, a daily exercise level of 3 miles will keep puppies in a very suitable and healthy state. Of course, like other forms of exercise, you should be careful in hot weather, and there is nothing wrong with cold weather.

8 weeks = 1/2 miles, 4-5 times a week 14 weeks =2 miles, 4-5 times a week.

10 week = 1 mile, 4-5 times a week =2.5 miles, 4-5 times a week.

12 weeks = 1.5 miles, 4-5 times a week 18 weeks =3 miles, 4-5 times a week.

(Note: 1 mile =1609m)

Please don't let golden retriever puppies under 4 months do jogging training, bicycle running or long-distance running training. If you want to carry out these hard trainings for puppies in advance, it is wise to do a preliminary OFA hip evaluation. Only those puppies with a pre-rating of "good" or higher can be identified as candidates for these harder training, and then gradually form their corresponding speed and distance during these trainings.

Dog daily life training

..... as soon as possible to start training the dog's life rules, so that they can cooperate happily and get along forever. Puppies who have not received a good education and are overindulged tend to be willful when they grow up, and often yell at others, which is not only annoying, but also more and more unbearable for their owners themselves. If it is an adult dog, it can also be taught; Especially stray dogs, most of them like to go out for a walk and pee. It is not difficult for you to take the trouble to understand their living habits and adjust them slowly according to your own schedule.

1. Sleep-A dog is a nesting animal. It is used to resting in its own nest, and its nest must be clean and comfortable. It may not be satisfied with your arrangement, so you may wish to pay close attention to it and adjust it at any time. Never let him sleep in your bed. As the saying goes, "It is easier to ask God than to send him." Once in bed, it's hard to invite him down. It can only sleep in its own nest. If it sleeps everywhere, maybe the bed you made is not comfortable enough. Remember that every time you change his sheets, leave a dry pad under it and add a new pad, so that it will smell and he will rest on it.

2. Password-puppies are not born to be taught. You must show patience and perseverance again and again. Rewards and punishments must be clear. If you do the right encouragement, if you do the wrong punishment, you will remember it easily. You can pat it on the head, say "yes", or give it some cookies to encourage it. Similarly, if it makes a mistake, it must be reprimanded on the spot, say "no", tap its nose, or roll it into a cylinder with newspapers and magazines, clap your hands and scold "no" at the same time. Never grab its tail or pick up its ears and hit it hard. Avoid treating them too emotionally, which will easily lead to the puppy cringing, making mistakes again and again, or urinating nervously at once. You can't abuse just because you are in a bad mood or angry. Kick it, it didn't make any mistakes. This will make it at a loss and affect its appetite and growth. The whole family should have a consistent attitude and method of education. You can't just punish it, and then the family will embrace it and cherish it. In this way, the dog will be afraid of you alone, but keep making mistakes. Passwords should be concise, clear and consistent, and don't let dogs distinguish the consistent passwords as they usually chat with them, so that they can easily accept and get used to them. Moreover, the passwords of the whole family are different, or sending a password at the same time will be very confusing and I don't know what to listen to. Tone and action should be consistent. Don't scold it at the same time, touch it at the same time, and don't kiss it immediately after scolding, it won't understand.

3. defecation-the training of defecation and urination is the most important and takes a lot of time. After the dog gets up. After dinner, before going to bed, when having fun, he will spin around on the ground, indicating that he wants to pee or poop in my good feng shui. At this time, it is convenient to ask him to wait and take him to the designated place. If you are indoors, you can choose the drain of the bathroom as a fixed point, and lay a newspaper next to it. After the dog is discharged, you can wash it. This is correct and should be encouraged immediately. If it goes to the wrong place, hold its nose on the spot and pat its ass and say "no". Clean and disinfect the place immediately, spray deodorant or even pepper to cover up the smell as much as possible, so as to prevent the dog from making mistakes again when he finds the smell. Sometimes, because of excessive excitement, panic, resistance, or to get your attention, or illness, the puppy will urinate everywhere. At this time, it is necessary to find out the reason and carry out patient correction and treatment. Puppies digest and absorb quickly, excrete quickly and more, so don't worry, because the muscle control of excretory organs is not mature, and the natural frequency will be more; Babies can wet their pants, but puppies can't. Bear with it and try again!
