My dog should be Golven Retriever but white in color. I am not sure it is or not lah.. Just the x-owner tell me like that mah.. Forgive me lah.. I am not expert lah.. She is oredi 1 years old lah.. Coz the owner dune have enough time to look after her, then pass to me and ask me to look after her lor.

Later when i get it, i take her photo and then you guy may tell me lor.. What kind of dog she is ??
congrats on your dog, don't worry coz a GR is easy to train be it 1 years old or a puppy. i have take in a lab and she's 2 when i took her in. she does fit in fine with my family. BTW labs & GRs have the same characteristics..obedient,smart, easily trained and very loving
As long as u love your dog she/he'll recognise u as the owner d..dun worry so much and give her sometime to fit him/herself with your family

I own a miniature schnauzer called stitch..hope to be friend with u..dada..
Ha....Sorry lah.. The owner tell me liao lah. The dog is not GR lah..is LR (Lavrado Retrieve) lah.. Sorry aboutit lah.
Walao.. This dog is extremely active lah.. BUt she only like my gf lah.. She just walk around follow my gf lah.. and ignore me aside.. SO sad :(
Where could get those useful dog teaching lesson ? The LR come to my house.. but pees twice and shit once in my dining hall lah.. walao.. So how to train her ? When i bring her walk after dinner, she keep smile here and there, i though she want to looking for place to settle her shit .. But no wow.. She only shit at nite about 4.30 am and we only found that this morning.. Walao.. the place she sleep is so dirty and we need to clean it up lah..
So, we wish to have some training or teaching material to teach her well.. Although so many problem, but she is really cute and nice lah.. WE LOVE HER VERY MUCH !!
a lab like mine? is it yellow? less groooming coz shorter hair...
u should get her used by taking her to ur garden 5-20 minutes after her meal..she'll normally poo that time..do it twice a day...
normally pee is not a big trouble but poo is. a dog'll usually pee (if untrained) when she just woke up, after playing or after meal..it depends on how much water she drank.
Good luck in training her...u'll sure love her lovely character
Yupe... Found a extreme expert go give me advice lah.
Is it my Daisy (LG's name) new to my house, so still need sometime to suitable for pees and poo... For pees, she is ok.. coz she will go near to the door gate and pees there.. But for poo... really hard to teach lah..
For breakfast, she could poo easier even not sharp on time but because we could look at her then could settle it for her easier lah. But after dinner, we spend more then 3 hour to let her play around, walk here and there, wait for she poo.. but finally she still dine !! Only after midnight then she will poo in her house... Then the next morning, we will need to clean her house and sometime her body too...
So wat the problem ? we had bring her out after dinner for more than half hour.. but still useless. It is because she is still new to the environment..
But she is very clever, when she make mistake and we blam her, she is pretend innoncent and sit claim beside you .. hahahahah
haha..whenever my lab does something wrong also she'll 'buat tak tahu'...then when u scold her juz put her head down n merajuk..that's why they are so adorable don't over pamper her or else u'll regret it like me....she used to sleep on her own bed but once i let her up to mine..she's sleeping on mine daily, lagi mess up the place with all her toys n picky over food
ok back to your poo problem..maybe u can try feeding her dinner earlier so that u can bring her out to poo before u go to bed..give her some time coz she's still new in your house...if worse comes mayb u can try toilet train her to poo at a designated place in ur house.
give her some time n when she does things correctly praise her or reward her...it takes consistancy to train a dog..good luck ya..Daisy's daddy
Hie...sori 4 lte rpl...kinda bz ltely...bt u manage 2 find sme1 who's xpert gv u opinion...
Oh.. u got a lab instead...nvm...lab is a very gud doggie oso...actualy GR&Lab r nearly d same....xcept tat GR hv longer coat...thy r equaly smart...& d most frenly doggie....lab is easier 2 tk cre...esp. 4 1st timer...Hahhaaaa...realy...she prefer ur gf over u???Is ur gf stayin wt u???Coz normaly my goldie wil stick 2 our fren who cme 2 our hse...thy like visitor mre...heheee...sme of my fren canot stand thm coz thy'r "over frenly"....esp. my Casper...he'l put his head on ppl's lap/lean against ppl like he canot sit on his own........he very "manja" 1....like gal gal...
Hmm....toilet training r...Nathalie is rite...u need 2 gv her mre time & b patient...coz she's stil new wt d environment....& it would b a bit difficlt. 2 toilet train an adult doggie thn a puppy....i mean she's oredi used 2 d way she pee pee & poo poo in her x-owner's plc...now u need 2 let her understand wer u 1 her 2 do it...bringing her out 4 walk aft diner is a gud idea...mayb d 1st few times she'l kinda wondering around bzbdy a while....whn she finaly 1 2 find d rite plc 2 do her business...u're ready 2 go bck oredi...tats y she do it in d hse @ midnite coz she cant stand anymre...if u hv a garden/yard in ur hse wil b beter...u can let her out thr aft diner...let her wander 4 a while....she'l do it thr....tats wat i do whn i bring thm bck 2 my hmetwn...female doggie is rather choosy compare 2 male in terms of wer 2 pee&poo....
Or u can try anothr method by teachin her 2 do it on specific plc. I teach my goldie 2 do it in d cage coz my hse is sml & i don hv garden...i kp thm indoor...i don cage thm...i let thm wander around in d hse freely even whn v go out...their cage is consider their toilet lor....i train thm frm sml...so its easier...bt u din mention ur stayin in landed prop/condo so i don noe how was ur situation...?????

I stay in landed property lah. and infront my house got a yard where everynite, before we invite her back to her house... we will play with her here..
She is so active lah. and really really bzbd lah... Where ever we go, she also follow.. Even when my gf cook in the kitchen, she also want to follow lah..
We always bring her out for walk after dinner lah.. She keep smell here and there only lah.. hahah... We walk for one hour.. and then when go home. we still let her play her toys for more than half and hour but she still dune want to do her business lah..hayo...
She also got his weakness lah.. LAZY ... when play with her. she is so active until we scare she will hurt.. but when we train her... She just obey you once or two then the third time, she will lay beside you liao lah.. hahah.. GERAM BETUlL...
Yalor.. she really a frend.. over frendly dog lah.. AVone could come near to her.. Even other dog saw she is fresh in my housing area and bark to her.. She is treat like nothing.. VERY VERY SMART and CUTE...
Hie..sory 4 lte rpl..Hahahaaa...luks like ur Daisy is havin a great time thr...So how is she now??Any progress?Hv she got d idea wer she should pee&poo???
Oh...she a bit lazy r...did u gv her any treats while trainin her???I thk u should gv her mre treats..treats tat she like d most 2 encourage her 4 trainin...ev'time whn u c her sittin dwn/lazyng during training, u try walk away...mayb like a few steps..cal her 2 u...use food/treats 2 lure her...so tat she'l hv 2 stand up 2 get her rewards...
Yah...retriever is d mst frenly doggie...tats y thy cant b guard dog...like my 2 doggie...thy'l wags their tails&get xcited whnever frens cme 2 our hse...i thk if a robber cmes in oso thy'l b s hapy lar....
She's lucky 2 hv an owner like u & ur gf who loves her so mch...Yup, Lab is LR. Cheers, Jmi ~*__*~
