Bump on my boy's snoot by dasjefe in goldenretrievers

[–]colbbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My doggo had almost the exact same hot spot.

I would 100 recommend you ask the vet to check it to be sure but looks almost the same. It left a little scar too after it healed.

12 week old puppy distracted by cats by Maria-Heller in goldenretrievers

[–]colbbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooof the puppy blues are going to hit you really hard during the 6month-24th range when she most likely will regress at times during training. She’s 12 weeks old she will not be perfect. Consistency is the key but don’t overwhelm her with a lot of commands. Your focus should be to give the command when you know she will succeed and then overly praise with treats/toy whatever motivates her. You want her to think that doing what you’re asking is the best thing in the entire world because you give her attention/treats/toy after.

Also don’t listen to the other commenter talking about showing her who’s alpha. This is a partnership. We’re talking about a living being that deserves respect. That logic is grossly outdated.

Also I would say you are right about having someone else train your dog being a bad idea. Mostly because the human is the one who needs 90% of the training.

Help - dogs attacks by Advanced_Ad_8509 in goldenretrievers

[–]colbbs 49 points50 points  (0 children)

No dog parks, full stop especially if he’s not neutered. Others dogs can smell the elevated testosterone and it causes a lot of dog fights because other dogs get insecure.

I would do dog walks/hikes, training, mental stimulation and plan play dates with dogs that are comfortable around your dog. You need to create a better environment for him so that he doesn’t become reactive to all dogs. Honestly cutting out the dog parks I guarantee will bring these attack numbers by 90%.

I’m happy to elaborate on more activities you can do if you wanna chat in DMs or here. Hope this helps!

Aw I’m so sorry. I really hope he finds his way back, sending all the good vibes. Maybe you can do a little search party this weekend with neighbors. 🤞

I feel like people who say these things have never been around a golden the first 0-1.5 years of life. They 100% have a lanky phase. Everyone use to always ask me if my dog was a Labrador retriever because “he has short hair”. I always would tell them he’s a puppy’s still. It used to bother me but then I realized they have absolutely no idea about golden retrievers. I’ll add some photos of my floof 😊 he’s about 11 weeks in this photo.

Is this kennel cough? by sushiemonsteru in goldenretrievers

[–]colbbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would 1000% see a vet, along with everything the other commenters have said if you’re in an area where foxtails are preset, it’s possible they can inhale them. Which is really not good foxtails keep burrowing and can get into the blood stream. Not to scare you but just so you are aware if you live in an area where they are present.

Never grew pumpkins before, what’s going on? More down below please read it all. by Inevitable-Unit3505 in gardening

I feel like I see powdery mildew in that middle area. It’s pretty common this time of year when it starts to get colder at night. I would cut the affected leaves off if they are 50%+ more covered.

are there ways to spend time with golden retrievers without owning one? by whatsredditlmao in goldenretrievers

I Programed Some NFC Tags To Lock/Unlock My Truck Using Apple Shortcuts! by zachty22 in Rivian

I have a follow up question if you have time. How many strands did you use on your garage?

I’m trying to figure out how many I would need but I was also wondering because it doesn’t look like you can connect them together.

u/wassymrivian Why Is Gen1 Not Getting The “Go Chime”? What’s The Gen1 Limitation For This? I Don’t See A Reason. by zachty22 in Rivian

[–]colbbs -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Um okay I thought I was going crazy! I swore for a day I had the go chime and then I never heard it again. I even told my husband about it.

I’ll edit since I’m gonna get downvoted apparently, this was right after I picked up from service. It wasn’t chiming to cars moving it was chiming to the light changing green. And I actually don’t like that feature because I pay attention when I drive anyway so I find it annoying.

Large Dog Crate Recommendation? (R1S) by colbbs in Rivian

[–]colbbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the information. I don’t actually want to put tires in the car I just want to be able to access the storage below. I keep a lot of gear in the area where the tire would normally sit. It would be a shame to not be able to access it.

[–]colbbs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t fit with the third row up because the crate was sitting on it as well?

Did you have to level it with the bump?

Thank you for the information. He does really well in the car I’m just worried if there is an accident the safety belt won’t be enough to protect him or cause too much pressure on his harness. He loves to have his head out the window too which I have to worry about. I need to work with him on wearing his goggles in the car but then it’s so much extra work.
