ABOUT GOLDENS With their typically sweet dispositions and willingness to please, Golden Retrievers have certainly earned their place as America's canine sweethearts. Like any breed, though, an untrained Golden can be as much a bane as its trained counterpart is a boon. In case you've ever wondered why you should invest the time and energy to train your already easygoing pooch, we've compiled a list of obedience training benefits based on comments from Golden owners around the country. 10. Daily walks with your obedient ward will make you the envy of the neighborhood. 9. A trained Golden may actually let you go to the bathroom in private (OR NOT) 8. You may be able to drive down the street without a 65-pound dog in your lap. 7. When you say playtime is over, it may actually mean something. Translation: You may only get a drool-covered ball dropped in your lap one last time instead of dozens. 6. Everybody in the neighborhood will want a dog just like yours. 5. You may get to read the morning paper again sans teeth marks. 4. An obedient Golden will learn to accept regular grooming as a necessary evil. (Sorry, it won't make those sad eyes go away.) 3. Neighborhood kids will be knocking down your door when it's time to finda a housesitter. 2. The love you share will only grow as you establish a relationship based on trust and consistancy. 1. That typical "I adore you" Golden look will transform into absolute hero worship. Copyright Marry Sorensen, Popular Dogs Series, Volume 4, 1999 |
