Im using Nutriedge now...
I have used Origin, Canidae, and OvenBaked. So far Nutriedge seems suits my dog.

Different dog will react to different brands i think, try them and decide on which suits your DR.

I have some sort of experience also... lucky Prince is good and same like your... good to hear that.

For me I dont limit my dog in PlayPen but since still puppy still ok but I dont recommend when get older... I feeding him twice a day in morning and night and walk them morning and night. I use to bring her to jungle tracking (bukit gasing) on Saturday or Sunday.

Do train her about toilet train, basic command such as obedient training. That is useful when they get older.

You can see his poo weather suitable for him or not. Too hard is not good and too soft also... refer to some website you will find more info.

Its never too young to train them. I watch Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer on Nat Geo Wild a lot. It really helps! I house broke my 3 month old GR in about 2 weeks.

You just need patience and watch his actions every 20-30 mins, then let him outside to snif and do his bisnes. Wait for a while till he pees or poop.

When I first got mine I lock him in the toilet with newspaper before sleep. Wake up earlier and let him out. If I wake in the middle of the night I let it out too. It helps if you have time in the house for the first 2 weeks to monitor him in the day. Patience is needed as they can't control their bladder. If he accidentally pees or pooped in the house clean it up at once to avoid having the scent linger, use multipurpose spray ons. Just keep bringing him outside and he will be doing his bisnes out there in no time. Its all about routine. They are really smart! Good luck!

I don't lock him inside the bathroom I use the playpen to surround the entrance. Thats why you have to monitor him from time to time then let him out. For example after he accidentally pee in the house. Correct him then clean the pee. In 20-30 mins time take him out. When you are out let him snif and roam until he pees. Then take him in. If he doesn't, go back outside after a while. Til he does it.

Call MKA Malaysia Kennel Association they have alot of training and is quite reasonably priced. Dunno if it is updated but their 10 week canine training is RM100 for members. Joining fee is RM100 a year as member. So total RM200. Check it out.

Dear all,

I am planning to adopt a 2-year old golden retriever. Can anyone share with me what do you feed the dog? Kibbles? How much is the dog food cost per month?

Thank you.

My Ah Fook went to the puppy.com training. Good cos the teachers are really dog lovers. Ah Fook graduated as good canine citizen but I'm ashamed to say he will be needing a refresher course soon. My mum says like never go to school before. Hahhahaha

Ah Fook's teacher is Mrs Yap and sometimes her husband. He really listened to their instructions. Mebbe cos he dem gian the treats she has - chicken liver.  Happy times when I think back of us in doggy training classes on Saturdays. This was way back when the park in Taman Desa was still open for dogs. Now no more liao. 

Years..me thinks nearly 5 years back. hahahaha. Nope. Din continue to the mroe advanced class. Big mistake. Should've continued.

His first training ar? erm... playful lo. He walks beside just fine like the other doggies when the teachers ask us to walk in circles. Switches direction beautifully too. My Ah fook is more like Marley (the Labrador in Marley & Me). The thing about doggies is that you have to continue their training. Ah Fook still does sit/stay/down ok but needs work on come and no. Hahaha. His heel is fine altho he will try to wander off during the first few minutes of his walk. A few pulls and corrections and he good for the entire walk.

dezs8818:
The chances of you adopting a GR puppy is near zero. Why not try adopting an older dog? Saves you money cos they're already grown. Hahaha.

Hi,

is there any adult for adoption? 

Xai-V-iaX:
Wanna have a GR gathering? Socialising your dogs will do them wonders in the future.

add me in!

Yeah, he sure is. *syok sendiri* Hahaha, anyway, his name is Man. Thinking of bringing him to obedience class after his 3rd injection which was end of this month 

You went to puppycom obedience class? How was it?

Will definitely do so!  BTW does anybody know where I can get a nice pet bed for my puppy that doesn't cost too much? I think the ones that they sell in the big chains like Pet Safari and PetsMore are quite expensive, I would think there are cheaper alternatives somewhere (preferably in Damansara/PJ)...

I used clickers and treats..haha.
Can anyone recommend a good brand of dog food for Goldies?

I know to avoid Pedigree and such...

Yeah i've just read that Orijen is very good too..might try it out.
 

Hahaha 

Good's not cheap, cheap's not good..

Currently Purina, but i read that it's not good too 
So i'm looking to change lor.
