As an LVT, I helped treat several dogs with "grassons, " tiny particles in their sinuses from hanging their heads out of car windows. The infections were nearly impossible to treat and even after anesthesia, scoping and curetting their sinuses, these forgiegn body particles could not be found or removed. One died, the others had lifelong infections that did cause chronic poor health that eventually contributed to their demise.

Thanks to your video, I feel more equipped to avoid these issues and build a stronger bond with my beloved pet.

So much i need to know!
Thankyou for the great info!❤

I need to know this for the 2dogs at home i care now

Thank you for bringing up the fake service dog. It is so degrading to those that require a service dog. Most would love to have a pet but need this dog for essential support. It is so condescending to the true need for a service dog to pretend yours is one. Business owners CAN ask questions. Too often they are too cowardly to do so. Thanks for caring to be honest.

So much to train my best friend.
Pulling on leash and dragging me!

Thank you so much for the Service Dog comments! My daughter has a REAL service dog - one who spent almost a year in training to specifically deal with issues my 17 year old has with cerebral palsy. I'm always nervous about bringing the dog to restaurants, dr appointments, etc because the people who bring their "emotional support" dogs have absolutely created a horrible environment where those untrained dogs bark at people, have bad manners & distract REAL service dogs.
Frankly, I wish we could have a Federal licensure of verified service dogs, not emotional support dogs. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING!

Is 40 min walk 2x daily and a small 10 min walk at night enough? Also the 2x 40 min walks are in the woods and I let her roam freely, is this bad? She stays with me. She is 6 months on feb 3rd and weighs 47lbs. Also nobody else is ever in the woods I walk her in.

Well said. I slowed down and Micromanaged Sage and she is almost potty trained after a week. 👍🏿🐾💩

My golden retriever will not bite me she was a rescue dog but she’s never even snipped at a kid I’ve only seen her bark if she’s around a dog she don’t like or if they won’t leave her alone 😂 she’s very peaceful and quiet unless I just walk in the door from work

My golden loves the beef liver treats.

There is someone posting on Facebook trying to sell things that make the dog seem to be a service dog. Ive had friends with service dogs, usually labs. Its wrong and i wish i knew a way to stop them.

My dog's treats are frozen Costco Normandy Vegetables. They are happy eating something and almost no calories.

[leslieroycroft]

Bahaha Free feeding my golden..she'd eat til she exploded!

[davespargo]

Please tell me how you get by with cooking for them once a week.... this 3 times a day, plus midnight snacks is killing me. It's bad enough with the 2 to 3 times a week where I have to take them thru the drive thru....

[todalio]

How do you manage the eating everything like grass, rocks, sticks with a 10 week Golden? I'm helping a friend and 3 times a week I spend time with his Golden, I'm never sure how much to allow freedom vs how much to have a tight leash.

Ok. That round chew toy, what brand is it? 🙏

I have a golden retriever dog and his behaviour is awful. He’s 10 month and he Chase is the cat, steal stuff and I can’t take him for walk cause he pulls. We tried everything to train him but it’s not working

[vickymachin]

My golden retriever puppy is so playful, sometimes she nips me by accident. My other dogs give her plenty time to play with and we have a huuuge backyard. It's just hard to potty train her. She used to go on her weewee pads and now we want her to finally go outside but she will come back in and poop on the floor.

Mine behaves better than kids and most adults. I think I’ll stick to no leash.
