After getting yet another Golden Retriever (Simba is our third) I found I wanted to stay up to date on healthier eating alternatives and any new training ideas. The book and support seemed like a good up to date source for this type of information.

I found “Golden Retriever Savvy” on Facebook one day, as one of the ads down the side of the page. I had just brought a new GR puppy home to live with us, only 6 weeks old, and felt helpless on how to get her to learn. She is a challenge. She was the runt of the litter so I assume she had to fight for all she got. She has an attitude 10 times the size of her! I needed all the help I could get! I have found “Golden Retriever Savvy” to be VERY helpful!! From learning the pack animal instinct to potty training to rewarding, everything I read is a GREAT help. We are settling in with our routine nicely, and we work continuously on getting her to know that I am the boss! She is a biter, not a puppy nibbling, but an all out snappy biter, complete with the growls and snarly lip! Its hard to not strike out when she bites, but she is learning with love and treats to “leave it” and “Stop” by the tone of our voices instead of spanking her! I have contacted Kate about problems and gotten a personal response, not a canned response which I love, This was a GREAT investment. I must say I have not had time to read through the free gifts yet as I have to return to GRS often, but look forward to seeing what they have to offer as well! This is an investment you wont be sorry you bought!!!

it has been a good reinforcement for us, as it had been several years since we trained our last Golden. We were very interested in leash training as this dog has never been walked on a leash, therefore he is doing a lot of pulling, but we are working on it.

I have been breeding Golden Retrievers for many years and have found their personalities to be as different and varied and humans. Reading Golden Retriever Savvy has helped me to understand how to interact with all types of problem behavior as well as to reward good behavior. From potty training puppies to correct behavior when leash training, it has been very helpful. Thank you for the help.

I found it by looking under golden retrievers on the internet. We wanted to treat our goldens with love. We don’t like all the rough ways people are training their dogs and we are not trusting of these techniques. I like the encouragement we receive from you. Letting people know they can do it if they are consistent and will pay attention to their dog means so much to us. Knowing that we can email a question anytime is important to me also.

Have trained rescue dogs in the past but struggled with some aspects of training. Having a puppy for the 1st time I realised it would be beneficial to start training as early as possible. Your guide has been invaluable during these 1st weeks, and hopefully will prove just as valuable in the times to come.

I found your website when looking for new retriever puppy. What caught my eye was that it was a book specific to golden retievers. My children are old enough to be helpful in training this new puppy and I wanted to have a resource that would be useful to them as well. This is our family project and I wanted my children to be able to take an active part in teaching our new puppy some of the basic commands. I have found that your resource gave me great tips to help us get started at home. My children are learning how to give consistent instructions and how to use treats properly when training.

I have learned so much about dog training. I did not train my last dog and wanted to do so with this dog. GRS made my job so much easier. Everyone is surprised that my puppy knows so much at such a young age. I’ve only had my puppy for 3 weeks. He is so obedient and the most peaceful puppy I’ve ever seen. Thanks to GRS.

I have looked at many books regarding training, health and how to communicate with your dog. I find that Golden Retriever Savvy is exactly what it says it is. Savvy. I have owned various types of dogs for 34 years and my eyes were opened when I realised where I was going wrong and how I could correct it. When you want to learn a language you go to a school and get the course book. I suppose that’s what I am learning and continuing to learn, the language of Golden Retrievers. I’m very grateful to Golden Retriever Savvy. I’m learning a new thing every day. Thank you so much.

I found Golden Retriever Savvy after searching the web for my dog’s chewing problem. It was a pleasure to find a website focusing on Goldens and info pertinent to them. Regarding the free email support, just this week I altered my training for the “stay” command after receiving email info about returning to the dog to complete the command rather than calling him. It works!

This is my first time owning a big dog. It is important to teach a dog that is going to be 60-75 lbs to obey you as a puppy. If not, you will have a handfull when they are grown!

April 17, 2013

Golden Retriever Savvy is not your ‘run of the mill’ book, it offers personal advice not just from the author but from many Golden Retriever owners. Our Golden Retriever Puppy was house trained, sitting, paw, lay down, roll over and staying until we said she could eat her food at just 12 weeks of age (we had her from 8 weeks) that I think is amazing. It is not a book you have to sit down and read page to page and forget everything, it is sectioned for your ease with basic instructions that don’t bore you to death – and they actually work! Well worth the money!

April 17, 2013

We have always had Border Collies, Kelpies with a few years with an Irish Terrier that was given to me. Golden Retrievers are so sensitive and so intelligent and we did not want to make any mistakes and end up having a naughty dog. Ruby came to us with some bad behaviour simply because she had not been trained or disciplined properly. Golden Retriever Savvy has helped us understand how Ruby thinks and operates and we have the most beautiful dog with excellent behaviour and all in a matter of weeks.

ppreciate the emails with added information...

Rated 5 out of 5
April 17, 2013

I found it to be very useful information for a new owner to learn about this breed. Much of it could be used for any breed of dog too. I am a firm believer in crate training. It saves a lot of headaches in the beginning and the dog likes it as sanctuary (den time). Now as an adult, she goes there to sleep. You could add that putting a blanket over the wire cage is nice to give them the feeling of being in a den and also to have enough room to turn and stand easily, if necessary. You have covered much of what a good GR owner would need to insure that their dog would become the star of the neighborhood, obedience class, companion dog, etc. Thank you. I appreciate the emails with added information in an ongoing fashion.

It’s helpful for me because as I said before we haven’t had any kind of dog for the past 13 years since we had to put our last Golden down and now that our 4 children are all married and have their own families I do about 95% of my Golden’s care because my husband works longer hours than I do. So in receiving the free email along with the Golden Retriever Savvy it has helped me tremendously in the care and play with my puppy.

I like the fact that Golden Retriever Savvy helps keep me accountable to training our dog. So many times dog training books get put on a shelf and never used until there is a problem.

She’s not jumping up as much since we’ve been taking the advice of Golden Retriever Savvy.

My daughter relocated in another country and the foster care she had for the Golden Retrievers didn’t work out. I picked them up at short notice, not knowing anything about the breed, or much about dogs, being a multiple cat owner.
