[quote=Anonymous]Ill scream from the rooftops- Flat Coated retrievers. They are so human-focused and eager to please. The standard of the breed is penalize any dog that shows aggressiveness.

There are some drawbacks to the breed- high risk of cancer, relatively short life span, and VERY high energy needs. They also need lots of obedience training in the beginning and can be mouthy. We trained our FCR to get a wubbie or one of her toys when excited. For example, when people come over. It allows her to engage her excitement into the item vs the person.

When shes outside she is a nutso (running, playing, zoomies, etc.) but inside she is calm. She is in whatever room we are in 99% of the time.

We crate trained until 2 years old and then slowly relaxed. She has safe spaces in both our bedroom and the main living area. She is amazing with our toddler. She actually disengaged from him until he was taller than she was. It was really interesting because she wanted to be near him but wouldnt engage in play with him. Now hes almost 4 and they run together, fetch, she play bows with him, etc.
