Golden Retriever Puppies and the Importance of the Right Communication
By Ewen Vile

The best way to communicate with Golden Retriever puppies is to see the world as they see it. The only way that you can recognize how your dog feels is to learn and understand his nature. This is essential in building a strong bond and lasting relationship for you and your dog.

Dogs are pack animals and they thrive in the security of their pack. Imagine how sad it is for a young pup to be taken away from his mother and litter mates. Being in a new home and a new environment leaves him with all the uncertainties and makes him feel that he is in deep danger.

This is the reason why your dog whines or howls during his first nights at home. He is calling his pack and only longs to be reunited with them. He has to feel security and this is something that you have to give because your family is his new pack. He needs to feel a sense of belonging in the group.

If he chews on your shoes or your shirt while you are away, it only means that he misses you. He wanted to sniff and mouth on something with the scent of his master. This is how he finds comfort when he feels lonely. Goldens’ are very sociable animals and they don’t want to be left alone for a long time.

Pack animals have leaders. Since you are his new pack, you have to assume the lead. This is one important thing that you have to instill to your dog at an early age. Simple things like stopping him from jumping on the sofa or running ahead of you on a leash are his ways of expressing dominant behavior.

Establish leadership by playing games that will develop his trust, confidence and respect in you. If he walks ahead of you, stop him with a slight tug on the leash and a simple command that will be easy for him to recall.

Our language is a foreign language to them. When you tell your puppy to shut up when he is crying at night, he will not understand. But when you give him a safe place to sleep, a toy for company and a blanket to keep him warm he will understand it more knowing that you are trying your best to keep him comfortable and welcomed in your house.

By understanding that dogs are dogs and not humans, we learn to communicate with our dogs better.
