The Golden Retriever is ranked fourth in canine intelligence and is currently used as a family dog and guide dog due to its gentle eyes, smiling face, angelic and perfect personality, and golden coat covered in heavenly glory.

The Golden Retriever's main moulting period is twice a year, but due to the larger size of the hair than small dogs, often mistaken for very good hair loss, whether large dogs or small dogs will shed, the usual hair loss is just a daily metabolism, as long as often combing for it can reduce this trouble!
The Golden Retriever is a well-proportioned, powerful and lively breed, scientifically known as the Golden Retriever, solid, with reasonable body parts, legs that are neither too long nor too clumsy, friendly expression, warm, alert and confident personality. Because he is a hunting dog, his essential characteristics can only be expressed in a difficult working environment. His general appearance, balance, gait and use of the breed should receive more attention than any individual part of his body. In many families, the general perception of the Golden Retriever is that he is lively, pampered, loyal, and simple, and I can see him at playtime. He is friendly to anyone and can be a good friend to humans, and because of his good temperament and his intelligent brain, many Golden Retrievers have now been trained as guide dogs to contribute to mankind.
The dog is busy constantly fetching things back, and is best at picking up slippers, shoes, balls and rag doll's, etc. The favorite toy is a spherical toy. He will come to his owner's side, lift a leg to attract his attention, or dart over and pamper him, asking to play with him. They will "grunt, grunt" with their nasal voice and keep circling around the owner, or when they see something, they will immediately bite it in their mouth and run to the owner; even if it is a big piece of dead wood, they will not let go.
He makes a nasal sound of "humming, humming" and moves his body closer and closer to the owner in hopes that he will pet him. He will go under the owner's straddle or lay down with his belly exposed to "play" with the owner. At this time, do not chase him away aggressively, but try to maintain physical contact with him, even if only for a moment. This will make him feel loved by his owner.
When a puppy has just left its mother or has been left alone in the house, it will bark "ooo~~~~". Shoulders slumped, head bowed, the whole body is powerless to stand in its "territory". Even if a ball rolls over, it won't look at it. "Phew" sighs a breath, trying to make himself sleep. At such times, only the love of the owner can give him tenderness.
A dog will be completely obedient to an alpha he agrees with. The owner of the dog is of course the owner, and he will only make a defenseless movement to his master by lying on his back and showing his weakest belly, which means he has no intention to resist and is a sign of absolute obedience. In addition, when the tail is stretched back, the belly is lying on the ground, the ears are collapsed, and the dog looks up at the owner with sorrow, it means obedience.
For fear of losing the toy, they will hold the toy with their front legs, bite it with their teeth, and shake it. Due to the excitement, they may drool or raise their belly.
After full activity and play, the dog will lie down lazily and sink into a happy and tired feeling, feeling satisfied inside. While staring at the owner and the family's every move, to make sure that everyone has not forgotten its presence. When he is in a good mood, he will also make a pleasant sound of pampering.
Meals and walks are happy times. Dropping his ears, squinting his eyes and sticking out his tongue are his expressions when he is in a happy mood. The tail wags vigorously, the body twists from side to side, and the gait is light. When the tail is wagging desperately, it is the happiest time. Sometimes, it will wrinkle its nose and curl its upper lip to show a smile. When it makes a "hum, hum" sound from its nose, it is also a sign of happiness.
Fatigue after full exercise also makes the dog feel overloaded. The puppy will immediately drift off to sleep, yawning and falling asleep in no time. When it is deeply asleep, how to call, can not wake it up, may let it sleep a good big sleep. As the saying goes, "an inch of sleep is an inch of sleep", and when it wakes up after a good sleep, it will move around energetically until it is tired.
When thinking, the dog will also be silent. But the dog does not brood because it does not fit its personality. It quickly gets into the next action and is very enthusiastic about it. When it thinks in the moments between actions and actions, and after repeating this thinking over and over again, it can learn a lot from it. Therefore, repetition is the key to conditioning.
When a dog wants to talk about something, it will desperately look up at its owner with this "inarticulate" look. He will keep making the same movements, and then make a low barking sound, hoping that the owner can understand his mood. At this time, you should try to detect its requirements from its eyes. The dog's demands are very simple and uncomplicated, and he will never make extravagant demands.
Dogs get bored because after having a good time, they don't know what they should do next for a while. So, it feels lazy, only eyes constantly looking for new naughty objects. But the dog can not always be immersed in this boredom, as long as there is something to stimulate its curiosity, it will immediately get up, completely forget about themselves just now.
The dog's curiosity is very strong. When seeing animals and insects for the first time. The ears will perk up sensitively, the tail wagging constantly, with a little nervousness, slowly approaching. Once they know that "everything is safe", they will sniff with their nose and bite with their mouths. ...... When they feel strange or encounter something strange, they will crane their necks like people and fall into thinking.
When the owner is playing with himself, he will feel happy. The tail is raised, the neck is stretched out, the trot is brisk, and when happy, it keeps jumping, and the whole body shows uncontrollable joy. He will also wiggle his ears up and down and stick out his tongue "ha, ha" to pamper his owner.
