Golden Retrievers will need regular daily exercise and outdoor time to feel content and happy. Since their fur coat is long, they will need daily grooming of their coat to prevent matting, knotting, and tangling. Aside from that, Golden Retrievers can also suffer from numerous health issues throughout their lives, making them high maintenance.
With all the maintenance they require and their difficulty with separation it can be frustrating at times, but much can be done to reduce their neediness and make life happier and more agreeable. This quality of being high maintenance will be lifelong for dogs that are this way.
Thankfully, training and socialization can help reduce some signs of neediness related to their separation anxiety and their need for constant, close connections. Even with this training and socialization, it is necessary to have regular review periods. Setting healthy boundaries can be helpful, so everyone, including the dog, knows what is acceptable.
