Title: New pup
Post by: Wenatcheejay on May 08, 2009, 01:12:25 PM: We did it. We got a new puppy. It is a Golden named Citori. She will be ready to come home on May 25th.

Question, how do you plan on training it to come and sit.

If you teach it to "Sit" it sits. Fine.

If you call it "Citori" it hears Cit and sits???

My guess is you'll have to use some other commands to avoid confusion. Not criticizing you just wondering how you avoid confusing the dog for training purposes.

I think Goldens are one of the worst chewers.

My other Golden Sadie is four now. http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x243/jaydore/PC270062.jpg

By the time she was done chewing I had to buy the wife some new furniture.

I found frozen rags to really help with that stage.

I will have to agree with this one!!
Looks like her nick name will be "Tori" :)

Post by: Wenatcheejay on June 01, 2009, 10:56:02 AM: No, you are wrong. There is no issue. She comes to her name and "sits" on command.

Her name is "Citori" (Si'tori') not (SIT'ori')

It is a legitimate queston or concern, but it's not an issue with this dog.

My other Golden does not sudden sit when I say Citori either.

I also have to say that there is a world of difference between "Field Goldens" and "Show Goldens." For hunting, defiantly look for a dog that has "Field Golden" genetics in their pedigree.
