    Making A Routine

    As part of a golden retriever puppy’s temperament, they enjoy routines. It is good for your puppy to be able to expect what and when things will happen. For example, if every evening, after the last walk of the evening, they get brushed or something to that effect, they will come to expect it after a while. This is an important part of the overall training and socializing you give to your dog; knowing the rules of the house will help both you and your new golden retriever puppy get along.

    Grooming

    Brushing your golden retriever puppy every day with a wire bristle brush, which reaches deep into the under coat, will help with shedding. Combing is usually only necessary if you have been on a hike through deep brush or if you are giving your puppy a trim.

    Washing your golden retriever puppy should be fairly easy, they love the water and your attention, and bathing combines the two. Golden retrievers do not have any skin or coat conditions that should prevent you from bathing as often as you like, provided you use quality shampoos.

    It is good to train your puppy to tolerate a dryer; on rainy days, it will eliminate the wet dog smell, and blow drying should ensure that their dense undercoat is thoroughly dried.

    Trimming nails and fur can be done either by a groomer or at home; because they require so little of either. Having it done once by a professional to see exactly how it should look and then maintaining it from there is probably the most practical choice.

    Eating And Drinking

    Most veterinarians recommend feeding your golden retriever puppy high quality food that is no less than 25% protein and all the clean fresh water they like; unless you’re house training, then you may want to limit liquids within a few hours of bed time. Also it is recommended by veterinarians that golden retriever puppies be switched to adult food after three months of age, as accelerated growth can trigger certain diseases in golden retriever puppies.

    Exercise

    Your golden retriever puppy is a high energy, determined, and overall people loving dog; this means that your puppy will want to play most anytime it is not sleeping, eating, or outside. Frequent trips outside are good exercise and a good time to ‘eliminate’, as it is not uncommon for a puppy to need to relieve itself eight to twelve times a day.

    Your puppy will enjoy carrying things around in its mouth, giving it plenty of ‘safe’ things to play with should detour it from things you don’t want it to chew. Ample chewable toys that you don’t mind being brought from place to place around your house should be available in every room your golden retriever puppy is allowed in.

    Puppy Proofing Your House

    ‘An ounce of prevention’, as the term goes, is exactly the best method for preparing for your golden retriever puppy. Knowing that your puppy likes to chew, mouth, and otherwise carry things around in its mouth, it is a good idea to put things out of reach for awhile until your new puppy learns the rules. Other preventive measures like child safety locks, baby gates, and a kennel crate may also be a good choice for your puppy.
