Hi what brands of shampoo would be best to use on a golden retriever? right now i'm only using Eucalyptus wool wash that you buy at the supermarket. Its really made for washing clothes. I want a shampoo that will leave Shelley with a nice smell afterwards and will do her coat good. What does everyone thing about Eucalyptus wool wash? The reason i'm using it is cause it said its a natural way to get rid of fleas even tho my dog doesn't have fleas.

So am i doing the wrong thing by patting her when she comes to me without being called? should i stop this? when i am leaving i don't pay her any attention at all i do look at her but thats it. When i get home i ignore her for like 10 minutes then say hello to her but don't touch her. I wait another 10 minutes before i actually pat her. I have noticed she does nudge peoples hand to get pats which the family then does pat her. Maybe i raised her wrong from the begining? maybe she was to old when i got her? I have read a dog socialization is between 8-12 weeks old. Shelley did have a bad habbit of eatting dog poo and i use to tell her no when i saw her then finnaly gave up and ingored the behaviour now she doesn't touch poo. For a female she is very clingy, From what i've read females are more love me love me eg more independent then males.

thatsthe thing i can't give Shelley a kong filled with food cause of my aunties jack russell cross fox terrier. Also the same with toys as my auntie dog chews them all up in tiny little pieces. The leaving the kong filled with food won't work cause Shelley and my aunties dog Lady fight when food is involved. They already had a fight over a bone lady didn't want and Shelley ended up grabbing her dog and leaving a wound on ladys cheek. When were not home the dogs are outside. At most were normally only gone for an hour,Some days could be longer. The anxiety only happens if were all not home shes completely fine if someone is home.

Hi I think my Shelley has got speration anxiety when she shes me grab my bag she gets all anxious pacing back and forth from door to door. Same goes when she sees me putting on my shoes. She follows my every move. Also when we come home we come home to a hole been dug, Where not sure if the hole is from her or from my aunties dog who also digs. Shelley has been like this since the day i got her at 14 weeks old. Shelley also almost got stolen from me within a few days of bring her home. I don't know what is causing her speration anxiety she gets plenty of attention maybe not 24/7 but she gets enough. She sees us all the time and some one is always around her when we are home. She gets about 40 t0 hour and half of exercise a day mostly all offlead runing and swimming. She is very obedient in everyother way. She did go to obedience and is going back this monday. There are no behaviourists here were i am and i can't really afford one either. I thought she would out grow this as of the time i spent with her playing,training and patting her.

Shelley my female golden retriever is also on a diet she only gets 1 and half cups of bonnie adult complete. To fill her up you can feed pumpkin,green beans,carrots,apples. Shelley eats tomatoes,carrots,green beans and apples.

Hi i feed Shelley my female golden retriever bonnie adult complete/ Shelley is doing well on bonnie. I have tryed chum,dog pro,coprice,great barko. Shelley liked the chum but it made her poos a bit sloopy, She would eat the coprice but didn't like it, Great barko she use to like but now won't touch it, dog pro she hated took one bite and walked away. When i first got her she was on pro plan food she acted like she was straving all the time and her poos were sloopy on that food. So i'm sticking with Bonnie adult complete as my dog does well on it. I also give beef,chicken,turkey bones once a week.
