Golden Retrievers are a hyper dog breed, however, like most dogs, they tend to calm down after their puppy phase, around 2 or 3 years old. Golden Retriever females of the breed tend to mature faster obedience-wise than males, so they are more likely to be calmer overall. 16 июл. 2021 г.
Will my Golden Retriever puppy ever calm down?
They tend to calm down after a while, but the puppy years might be a little challenging. Of course, every Golden will have an individual personality, so no one size fits all. Generally speaking, by 2 years old, your Goldie should be mellowing out, but there are a lot of factors that go into that prediction.
What age are Golden Retrievers most difficult?
The most difficult is usually between 8 and 18 months (which is when most dogs are surrendered to rescues and shelters). During this stage, it can be difficult for owners to be patient and consistent with training while waiting for this stage to pass.
How do I get my Golden Retriever puppy to calm down?
Any time your dog settles down, reward him with plenty of treats or physical affection like pats or belly rubs. Encourage him to continue to relax with positive reinforcement. Keep your Golden Retriever quietly busy with a puzzle or chew toy when it is time to relax.
What age do Golden Retrievers reach maturity?
Most goldens are fully grown by the time they are two years old. However, facial and head features may take an extra year to fully develop. By now, your dog's weight should be within the golden retriever size range recommended by pet experts i.e. 65-80 lbs for males and 55-90 lbs for females.
