Mine had fleas at that age too (do we have the same exact dog? :) ). I realized it because I had given her a treat (a Bil Jac liver treat) and thought she had some on her face. I laughed at her for...

I have a golden, too, and was worried that she was getting too dominant (and, like you, I got a golden for their famous easy-going temperament). I was very discourged at first, but my little Abby is...

Thanks, that's just what I needed to hear. On Saturday, I eventually put Abby in her crate after it became clear my guest wasn't going to listen to me. I'll have to be more firm in the future.

Abby update
I posted a while ago about Abby snapping/growling if I corrected her. In the last two weeks, she's been much, much better. Very obedient. She's still on leash most of the time, I'm slowly letting her...

She seems to be doing well. At first she REALLY didn't want me to put the drops in her ears, but now if I talk to her softly and reassure her, she'll let me put them in without even having to hold...

I think we're on the right track. We've been really consistent with laying down the law lately (my boyfriend has been a huge help) and I'm going to see to it that she doesn't forget who's boss. She's...

Update on Abby
It's been almost a week, and Abby has yet to sass, bark, or growl at me. She's responding much better to commands and seems recognize my authority more. I still think I need to work with her, but...

It depends. I can come home for lunch, so she's caged from about 9 a.m. to noon, out for an hour/hour and a half, then caged until 5ish. On Mondays I sometimes work late, but I come home for a few...
