I just arrived at my parents place, and they have a beautiful 2 yr old golden...his only down fall is that they haven't put a lot of training into him. I think the only things he knows how to do are sit and down, but thats all to his descretion anyways! He has a huge problem with jumping up onto me, and other people. He's so freakin leggy and at 80lbs its like having a gazelle come at you. I have already learned that you do NOT turn your back to him or he WILL tackle you. It is a serious problem, i can't even walk out of the washroom without dealing with this, and i don't know how to counteract it! If anyone has some quick training techniques, (or ways i can come out of this fully intact)just for the next week and half, i would LOVE to hear some suggestions. really i'll try anything.
I will give him this...He's very cute, while sleeping.
