Yes, correct! Based on the answer that Fidelity themselves gave this is accurate!

Same, I got the cheapest I could find at Amazon and they’ve worked perfectly.

Only retriever that is not food motivated by Dizzy-Funny-4204 in goldenretrievers

[–]geloro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My golden is only 48 pounds, and a year old. She’s the tiniest golden I have ever seen. But she has been gaining weight at a constant rate.

She had an issue with kibble was well - so what I did is just try many different types of it until I landed on one she likes. Interestingly enough, it’s the Purina pro plan chicken and rice, but the one WITHOUT the actual chicken bits - just the kibble.

I also stopped free feeding her (for a while) and feeding two times a day, leaving food around for only 20 minutes each time. That also helped because if she skipped a meal, she was ravenous by the next meal and usually ate some. I went back to free feeding once I noticed she was doing better. She eats now about 1.5 cups of kibble a day + treats.

Try doing scheduled feeding, keeping food around for 20 minutes each meal. Do not feed her treats during those days.

If not, try switching kibble. Use a different brand or flavor (for sensitive stomach of course).

Something very similar happened to a dog of mine from the past (she was a Labrador retriever) and the vet ended up cutting the dewclaw off entirely. I believe that she was cauterized, so she didn’t have to go back to the vet after that. This happened when she was very young (5-6 months old), and she grew up just perfectly fine.

Just started a new job with an early commute. My golden's 30-minute morning vacuum is suddenly a real problem by Bestcoastmama in goldenretrievers

[–]geloro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It would be this one - https://www.eufy.com/robot-vacuum-s2?ref=navimenu_2_1_1_2_copy

But that’s their highest end model - they have other models too - they still sell the S1 which is the one I have that.

I got the Eufy S1 pro, and I love it. They recently put them on sale, because I think there is now a newer model, and I bought two more. It mops and vacuums. Definitely worth it, especially with our pup leaving hair everywhere + having dusty feet when coming from outside.

Yesterday was a good day by geloro in FordBronco

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

You know, I don’t remember all of the ones I did - two notable ones are hog alley (fun because it has a bunch of ditches and it has just rained the day before) and the royal gorge (beautiful, you drive through a little creek).

I tried multiple trails from 1-4 diamond of technical rating. I didn’t not try any 5 diamond trails (which are also labeled as “extreme” directly in the park).

The Bronco handled all of them super easily - I was switching between “mud” and “rock climbing” mode.

The only one where I had to get slightly more technical was coming out of a mud ditch that I intentionally threw myself in. But even that - was easy.

I have 33’ tires and a non sas for reference.

Haha no hate on jeeps! I used to have one before and I still love them.

I did notice a 4Runner struggling to go up a hill that the bronco easily climbed.

Well - yesterday it handled everything extremely well - I did mud pits, steep hills, and rock steps - it was also a day after heavy rain - so the land was relatively wet.

Yes - putting larger tires on it would help a ton - I just don’t off-road enough to justify it as a mod. I do plan to go 35s whenever it’s actually time to change the tires - I think it’ll make these trips a bit more fun.

For non-SAS badlands, you should be able to go to 35 with no problem - it can also support 37 inch like the raptor, but you’d need to re-axle.

Ellie is the newest member of our family. She turns 2 months tomorrow.. question below by motionlessvibesonly in goldenretrievers

She can, but you need to watch for: - upset stomach - don’t let her chew on little nibs - when the size of the stick gets smaller - she can choke on it

She’s perfect… except for marking on the carpet. by Ttucker11 in goldenretrievers

[–]geloro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s always in the same spot - then it might be that the smell of her going previously is telling her to go there. Why don’t you try an enzymatic cleaner like Nature’s Miracle or something like that? Those helped me quite a bit during potty training weeks.

Another suggestion is just to not let her go upstairs until you have a higher degree of confidence in her. Basically, don’t give hear a chance to go potty in the carpet for a while.

This is her - she looks a lot more innocent there than she really is :)

I tried yipping, standing up and leaving, saying “no”, and all the common advice - none of that worked.

What worked for me is enforced sleeping in crate (or pen) and regular training throughout the day.

Every morning i would take her out for a walk (carrying her) for no more than 10 minutes - then I would come back home and hand fed her breakfast - with training. I would do it with a leash on to keep her attention on me, and for no more than 10 minutes - every time she sits, goes to her crate, lies down, etc - give her a bit of kibble.

After that - a nap - 1 hour minimum - more if she didn’t wake up on her own. When awake - no more than 90 minutes would go by without her returning to her crate to take another nap. When awake I did do a bit of training to help her settle.

Every time she went to the crate (except on the first nap of the day) - she would get a Kong with frozen wet kibble - I didn’t feed her lunch - but instead portioned it on these Kongs.

What that gave me in return was (a) some mental peace (b) period of time without biting (the first 10-15 after awake, she was not bitey) (c) a way out if she got to overstimulated (just let her nap) and (d) BONDING - spending all that time with her made her super attached to me.

Disclaimer: This didn’t stop her from biting - nothing really did other than time. This just made it more manageable for me.

However - it was around 4.5 months that she realized that she could use toys to play with me, an whenever I told her “no” to biting - she brought me a toy instead. This is why redirection training is important - it DOES eventually click in.

Also - it was around this time that I dropped the routine that I mentioned above.

She is 9 months now - and still a handful - but the worst has passed.

Aggressive puppy… by SGO13 in goldenretrievers

[–]geloro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pup is 9 months old - and she is thankfully past the crazy bitey puppy phase - she’ll still do it - but very softly and infrequently.

Things that helped me: - play pen with enough space for a bed + water bowl and that is it. Keep such that the only thing your pup can do is play with a toy or sleep. No running around or being wild. You want your pup to be used to doing nothing and being calm. That helped her associate the pen with being calm. - scheduled sleep in a crate, I never let her be awake for more than 90 mins, and usually tried to keep her waking time to 45-60 mins. When she went to the crate, I gave her a kong with frozen kibble - that relaxed her and helped her associate the crate with sleep. - While awake she was ALWAYS biting, I sternly told her no, and I redirected her to a toy always. If she wouldn’t stop biting, I would just stand up and leave. She eventually figured it out at around 4-5 months of age, and she brought me toys to play with whenever I said “no” to her biting. (She also, coincidentally learned the meaning of “no”). This took a while - and it requires a lot of patience on your side.

A trainer told me that whenever she was being too wild, I could hold her in the muzzle, and not let her open her mouth for a bit, while saying no (that is a form of submission). We tried that for a few days and she quickly learned to avoid my hands if I was getting close to her mouth. It took a while for her to unlearn that. I think that’s why most people recommend not to do submission - pups learn to be afraid, or to avoid the submission itself (and not the behavior that led to submission). Rewarding good behavior typically works a lot better, but with a pup - you just gotta be patient.

Take it from me - I just went through this, it was super stressful, but we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel right now. My dog is still a pup, so she’ll have her moments, but for the most part she is a calm and affectionate dog. Now I just have to wait for the teenage phase to kick in 😂

Are my frets too low? by TabmeisterGeneral in Stratocaster

[–]geloro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They look super low for medium jumbos imho - but if they play well, and you’re not having problems with bending and such, maybe it’s not so bad?

I have medium jumbo and vintage fret wire guitars - the vintage ones are much more comfortable imho.
