It only took us a week or two, for some reason he was a really smart puppy. But we were also very diligent in making sure he went outside every few hours, even if he didn't go, just to get him in the rhythm.

Our first two took quite a while as they were from a bad environment so they had started life off poorly. Once we got number 3 we just let the big dogs train the new pups. Three to five days to fully trained when done by the older dogs.

Did any of you go to doggie school with yours? I'm planning on really working with my pup. I found a lady with males so I'll get the one I want. I want him to be obedient and know the simple sit lay heel come commands as well as frisbee fetch and such after he grows up a bit. I have a friend that taught his lab to fetch a beer from his fridge and this is gonna be on my todo as well

I love my Golden 'triever...His name is Dirty Harold. He's my BIIIIG little buddy. Just turned 9. As far as Im concerned, they're the best breed anyone could ask for. Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferosity, and all the virtues of Man without his Vices.

He's a year old in this photo...

Goldens are the best. I grew up with one and they're great family dogs. I wouldn't suggest getting one if your looking for a watch dog, since they're the type that would welcome an intruder into your house rather than scaring them away. But if you're looking for a loyal, energetic bred you can't go wrong.

My Golden is an old girl now. She will be 14 on her next birthday. She has lost a step or two on the yard rats (squirells), but I never really appreciated her gifts in the middle of the night anyway. Her last great kill was a racoon, sounded like a mountain lion in the back yard till she finished it off. I stopped her before she brought it in and presented it to "Momma". I love a good golden, Loyal, energetic and just plain fun to hang out with. I'm gonna miss the old girl when she goes.

Goldens are great, my current dog, Maddie, is a half golden. She got all the dork and all the brains. And yes, at 5, is still puppyish!

I've had two. Spent a lot of money on dogs with papers from good breeders. They both had chronic health problems. They developed problems with thyroid, heart, arthritis, vision, and skin. They both died of cancer fairly young. They do have good personalities but make sure you research health issues.
