Training
Energy Level
We recommend your Golden Retrievers get plenty of exercise. If not exercised regularly, they may develop undesirable behaviors and gain excess weight. These dogs make great hiking and cycling companions. Golden Retrievers love to be active alongside their favorite people. Due to their strong retrieving instinct, when being exercised outside of a fenced-in yard, your pup may need to be kept on a leash to avoid distractions. Running with your dog is a great way to help them get the exercise they need but this is only acceptable after the age of 2 when they are fully developed! Also please be mindful to your puppy, when they stop playing they are tired and make sure to not push them past their limit so they do not get injured.

Diet & Nutrition
All of our adults and puppies are fed Purina Pro Plan Sport 30/20 All Life Stages. Feeding a high quality, balanced, and AAFCO food is essential to making sure to provide the best for your new fur friend. It is recommended to follow the feeding guidelines on the back of the bag to make sure you are feeding the correct amount as they grow and develop so that your new baby maintains a healthy weight for a long life with you. Extra weight can affect your puppy throughout their entire life and even shorten their lifespan. So to make sure they get the best in life and a long life with you we recommend that you follow the guidelines and recommendations of your veterinarian. Under no circumstances should you feed grain free food unless recommended by your veterinarian as it can lead to the development of cardiomyopathy.
