Do Goldens not care about birds / squirrels?

Every dog I’ve ever had goes insane when they see a bird or squirrel nearby except this one lol

He went from 13 lbs to 21 lbs to 35 lbs each month. My neighbor said “lay off the steroids Nugget” lol

Show me your golden's favourite toy

What about it?

This is Dexter's favourite - Mr Croc. The fact he hasn't fully destroyed and ripped it apart is his biggest sign of affection!

How to stop puppy from barking?

What about it?

My puppy has been barking at me and I think it’s for attention or because she wants to bite me and jump on my face, which I don’t let her do, and when I’m about to feed her as well, I wait until she’s quiet to give her food, I tried training her when she’s barking, rewarding her when she stops for a few seconds and saying “yes, good quiet” but I don’t think it’s working, is there anything else I can do to stop this demand barking?

Hot spots/ allergies

What about it?

Hi all! I recently rescued a golden from Iowa, he moved to MO with me, and his allergies have been bad. His past owners said he had allergies, stay away from chicken foods. They eventually landed on the lamb meal & rice formula or Diamond naturals, which is a brand I’m not familiar with. My other golden is on Purina pro plan, so I tried switching him to the sensitive skin lamb & rice but no luck, we’re on our 3rd hot spot/ constant eye boogies this month. Any tips? Good food for allergies? PS: yes we’ve seen a vet about it, since they don’t have his full history they didn’t want to indefinitely say it’s allergies. They said they’d prefer him be on Purina. We are going back soon

Life can be hard

2 years without my girl.

What about it?

Her name was Gaiyana, she was the sweetest dog I've ever known and I'm feeling like shit right now because I miss her so bad after this time. I still remember the day, the pictures are still there in my memory. I remember when the vet told us it was unfortunately too late to do anything. It was like the bond was broken in a certain way, I just fell on the floor and started crying on her body. I wish we never had to experience any ounce of this painful sadness as pet owners. It feels unfair, especially when their lives are too short.
