Golden Retrievers do some weird behaviors, but there’s usually a reason behind why they do it.
It might be a behavior they’ve kept from their ancestors, or one that’s normal for dogs, but totally weird to our human culture.
A lot of the weird behaviors have to do with the fact that their primary sense is their sense of smell, and that humans and dogs don’t agree on what smells “good”.
See the weirdest Golden Retriever dog behaviors explained in this video.

  • Almost all of the 6 Goldens we’ve owned like to put their paw on you. They will lift one paw and put it on your arm when you try to pet them (or do anything else). Makes it super easy to train them to shake hands or do a high five!

  • My first Golder retriever was weird her name was Cynder and she well even as a puppy she would lean up and fall backward like a trust fall and at first we thought she just lost her balance but nope she was doing it on purpose we even went to the vet about this to make sure everything was ok and right in front of the vet she did they never seen a dog do this before turns out she was doing it for attention. She lived to be 13 years old and I miss her every day

Even on the worst days she cheers everyone up just by her adorable eyes but the best is how she seems to know who needs some loving and will come into bed or on the couch to snuggle right next to the family member in need

  • Our Golden retriever is 80% human, 5% cat, 5% parrot and 10% dog. He understands both English and Afrikaans. He loves car rides, and sit number 7 with his paw staring out the window. He even sits in the car for hours when it is parked. He always turns in circles before no 2, and spins the grass when he did no 1. He follows me to the loo. He loves walks and the park. Love rolling in the grass. Sweetes being ever. Obedient, smart, social, loving and when the criminals comes into the house he is first to hide under the bed. When approached by aggressive dogs, even being nipped by them he simply takes it without fighting back until the other dog realize he only wants to be friends, then it is zoomie time.

  • I've had three goldens already. Our latest one never licks his Peter O"toole, AND he hasn't barked in over 6 years...he never barks at all. He cries when I'm about to feed him when I go into the laundry room for a scoop of his food...every single time morning or dinner, he cries when he's about to get fed...crazy. Every time I take him outside on the lesh, he walks in the opposite direction looks into the other room, then he comes to the outside door towards me.

If I close the door without her with me she’ll stick her paws under the door as is if she’s reaching for me but then will whine a bit until I let her in which she’ll just sit and stare at me or fall asleep

  • My golden dont eat any grass..it needs to be lemongrass.. seems like he is using those grass as a mouth freshner and he is in love with mud and water..he will come all chocolate color after spending 2 mins in the backyard on a rainy day and he is all smiles Oh another thing is he wont poop while taking a walk even if there's one human nearby except for me..but when he is pooping in the backyard he doesnt even allow me to stand there...he needs some privacy He is a drama queen and i love him for that

  • You're missing the best part! They often do several of these weird things all at the same time! My boy sighs, falls asleep with his eyes open, on my dirty laundry, on his back, with his arms stretched out above him, then he starts dreaming, twitching & woofing in his sleep (which is even weirder bc he's never barked in his life)! I call him my narcoleptic acrobat! My girl does all those except the stretching, and she dances to show off her toy, & also rubs against walls. Now imagine the effect all this has on my very lert 2yo GSD! (Not a typo, he's a lert!)

When i would take him to visit my mother, i had to start taking his harness off before he got to her, otherwise he would inadvertently hurt her legs by lovingly rubbing along her legs, and scratching up her legs with the harness.

    • they only get ticks if u take them to big brush in the summer, near a lot of cattle/sheep... and also not give them anti tick stuff... But ur valid on ur other point though (somewhat)... retrievers do need a big walk (or 2)... like atleast 2 hours of walking (off leash) every day is nessesary... but more hours would be appreciated... Just letting a doog loose on ur property isnt good enough though... even if u own a ranch... I also own a cavalier king charles thats 11 now... she also needs to walk atleast 1-2 hours... so its not just a big dog thing... people tend to underestimate how much movement a dog needs to be happy/healthy.... When my retriever comes back from a 2+ hour walk shes up and ready to go again right away... We also go on fishing/hiking days every week that last like 6+ hours... and often she has walked the 2-3 hours with my dad before this...
