Guard dog training from puppyhood?
Aww....they're gonna be the best of buddies.....growing up together. I didn't get my first dog until I was 10......it's great to grow up with a good dog like a nice golden. :thumbsup:
Weedhound Reviewed by Weedhound on . Guard dog training from puppyhood? OK so I have the cutest new addition to our family and a few things I'm not sure how to go about. Here are the facts... Tucker is a 12 wk old PB Golden Retriever. Comes from great parents. He is quick to learn and eger to please. He came with my brother and his large family from across the country and has been very socialized with people. We are working on house training but in the 3 days I've been able to work with him since everyone left he knows sit, laydown, come, PPSSTT!(bad/don't do Rating: 5

WH and stinks hit it on the head, no need to ellaborate Charlie Charlie...:jointsmile:
Illin, you dont make guard dogs aggressive. My pit is INSANELY protective (shutzhund) and isn't aggressive at all.Kids play with him all the time.If you train them right, they will be able to differentiate ill will, and playing....Protective DOES NOT = aggressive Me and my friends can wrestle and manson wont do shit...But if you walk creeping up on me, thats your ass....they are trained for specific behaviors....like when i trained seizure response dogs, you train them by a series of twitches in your faces and arms while in a wheelchair....
I could make faces all day long at the dog, but until I made the "seizure" motions, it would not respond and hit the buzzer....
The biggest mistakes dog owners make is using people reasoning with dogs. Like WH said, no matter how much expression and character our dogs have, they are not, nor do they think like humans. Understand how they think, and you have got half of dog training nailed....
just my :twocents:

Well the driveway problem is a territorial thing. It is the first place that he has marked as his. You will need to walk him in the area you want him to go untill he goes then praise, Repeat several times, then over time he will go there more often than not.
Also if a fence is out of the question I highly recommed getting an invisable fence ( much cheaper and effective ) also retreivers love to explore and will wander off if not restrained while unsupervised.
I would hate to see the day you have to tell your child that Tucker was killed by a car.

You're the pack leader- you tell the dog where he's allowed to crap, and if you want it in the driveway, hey, it's in the driveway. But as he's maturing the pissing/marking thing is still a really useful behavior to use for training, because he's going to be leaving scent marks around the yard, not only pissing because he's got to pee. So again, take him out on the leash and walk him around the edge of your property, and praise him for taking interest in things and marking them. He's making himself a dog version of an invisible fence! It won't keep him from crossing it, but that part is up to you to train him.

I'll piss on your(not you stinky) leg and you try to make me take it back, WOOF!
