What should you pay attention to when raising a golden retriever? When a golden retriever is a puppy, you can let it run on the grass. After four months, you can take it for a walk. Before the golden retriever is 12 months old, do not let it play roughly with other dogs, as its limbs are easily injured. Don’t run with your golden retriever before it is 12 months old, as it will put too much pressure on the bones.

1. Golden retriever puppies do not need much exercise, especially when the weather is hot. The best exercise for a puppy is to let him run freely on the grass. You can start taking it for walks from four to six months on (never use a bicycle or motorcycle), but don’t walk too far at the beginning, and gradually increase the walking distance.

2. Never let golden retriever puppies (under 12 months old) play roughly with other dogs, especially big dogs. Golden retriever puppies' rapidly growing limbs are easily injured.

3. Do not run with golden retriever puppies before they are 12 months old, as this will put too much pressure on the bones that have not yet been fully calcified. If you want to take your golden retriever puppy for a run after he is 12 months old, remember not to run too far at the beginning, but gradually increase the running distance.

4. Don’t let your golden retriever puppy go up and down stairs on its own before it is four and a half months old. Be careful when getting in and out of the car. If it is too high from the ground (such as the rear trunk), do not let him get in and out by himself. Hold him instead.

5. If your Golden Retriever puppy is too fat, do not increase his amount of exercise. First reduce the amount of food eaten until the weight returns to normal, and then slowly increase the amount of exercise and food intake until the two are balanced. If an overweight puppy is allowed to exercise excessively, it can cause permanent damage to the bones.

6. Swimming is a good sport. Golden puppies like to swim but they must be gradually accustomed to the water. It is best if you swim with him. Pay attention to drying the whole body before going to bed, especially the ears must be kept dry to avoid infection. Some dogs are allergic to salt (sea water). After swimming in the sea, they must use fresh water to wash away the salt as soon as possible.
