Riley has been with us for about 9 days and he has been a joy since he hopped into our vehicle when we picked him up. He needed some help getting in the back because he is a little big! He rode very well in the car and just laid down after a couple of minutes. We arrived to our home and our two small dogs were here to greet him. Riley did not even seem phased by them - he just started smelling the house and getting snuggled in.
Riley slept through the night in a large crate. He was not in a crate in his previous home but we wanted to see how he would do. He laid right down with his blanket and didn't wake until I went to get him out the next morning. He now will choose if he wants to sleep in his crate (a little cooler as the bottom of it is plastic) or in our room on his puppy bed (he gets hot even with the fan on, so sometimes prefers his crate).
In the morning he smiled when I went to get him from his crate - it was so sweet! He then went outside to potty and back inside for breakfast. He does not mess around outside - he does his business and heads right back to the door. He is a BIG boy - he seems to be a mix between a Golden and something else but if you look at his pictures you would think he is pure Golden.
For the first few days, we did crate him while I was at work (8:00-11:30 ).....he truly doesn't mind being in his crate, but our goal is to be able to allow him to have free roam of the house. He does LOVE food and so we are waiting until we train him a bit before we let him have free roam for that long. We did let him stay out when we were gone for an hour and a half this weekend and we had him on our puppy cam - he just laid on the kitchen floor. He didn't move or get curious. We think this is how he would be no matter what (as long as there is no food on the counter).We have two small dogs and he just wants to be loved by humans! Riley does very well around other dogs but really loves humans and has not shown any desire to play with other dogs. Our little 5lb pup took Riley's bone and was chewing on it - Riley went to get it and saw our pup had it and just walked away. No aggressions at all!! He is so sweet!
He doesn't chew on toys, furniture or clothes (that we have noticed). He only likes his tennis ball and his bones (we bought him some more since our dogs kind of wanted to chew on them as well).He whines when he wants to go outside but we are working to get him to just wait by the door. He is house trained!
