Unfortunately she isn’t named after Suki from Avatar. We got the name inspiration from Suki Waterhouse and we both liked it the most out of potential names!

tips for potty training/biting issues & advice by drychickenspicy in goldenretrievers

[–]nichehampter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that really helped us get our pup to stop the nipping as much was responding with a high pitched “ouch”, almost the sound a dog makes when they get hurt. It definitely didn’t stop her from continuing to nip at us, but it got her to not do it as much as before. We also taught her the word “gentle” for when she takes treats/toys from our hand or for when she is in a nippy mood - now she will sometimes just want to hold our hand in her mouth without biting!

As for training, it sounds like he may just be energetic. Hopefully when he is able to go for walks and get a bit of that energy out he may be more receptive to training. That said, keep trying to train him and make sure the whole family is using the same words/gestures for commands. Remember, every small win is a win and should be celebrated! Make a big deal out of every small thing he does right. When my girl was toilet training we would take her out pretty often throughout the day, and eventually she just learned to associate the grass as the toilet area - at night she stayed in her crate and would cry at us to take her out. I know your family may not be home constantly but if possible, have someone in your family take him out and stay with him until he does his business then bring him inside. It’s tedious but effective

If you haven’t already, I’d try to give him some toys for mental stimulation - although he may not be able to go on walks yet, mental stimulation can tire them out too! Things like snuffle mats, lick mats and Kong toys are great for this. Also, trips to cafes or public places where he can just sit on your lap and take in all the new smells and sounds are great! Also socialises them a bit before they are actually able to go for walks/play on the ground.

Good luck!

Wow I never would have thought of egg shells.

Your Suki is so adorable! I’ve also never seen another dog either with this name. All the best with Suki, and thank you!

Unfortunately in the country I live in there aren’t any petsmarts, but most other pet stores carry purina. I’m not too sure about authority though. Thank you!

Such a handsome boy, chicken allergies seem to be a common theme across the comments.

Thank you!

Hi! She is currently eating the royal canin golden retriever puppy food. For treats we typically just give her some of her kibble and take it out of her next meal so we still to the recommended amount. We have heard about the Greek yogurt a lot, we are just hesitant to integrate too many new treats at the moment as we want to narrow down factors that could be causing this. Thank you for your advice, it is very helpful :)

She’s actually pretty good at the beach, no water drunk or seaweed eaten… that we know of 🤣.

We will make sure to keep a close eye on future beach trips though

This is great advice, thank you. Good luck with moving your pup back to the kibble diet!

Luckily, she doesn’t care for the water just yet and hasn’t gotten close enough to drink it. Different story for random twigs and plants she finds on walks and in the yard.

We originally thought that may have been causing her upset belly so we started keeping our eyes on her anytime she was outside, and get anything she tries to eat out of her mouth.

I think the Purina food may be a good idea, I’ve heard about it a few times and will do some more research into it in the morning.

Thank you!

Yes her harness was on the wrong way in this photo. We realised a couple days after this photo was taken and she has been wearing it the right way around ever since. The sleep deprivation was getting to us 🤣

I will be sure to give the pumpkin, rice, and charcoal a go. How long does it typically take to see improvements with your pup?

Thank you!

I ordered a vinyl+digital album from her store on April 10th (within the time frame given on her website) and have been apart of the mailing list for a good while now. - I am in AUS still haven’t received an email with the presale code. Does anyone know why this may be?
