Has anyone used it on a golden retriever? If so, does it work effectively?

I use it on my golden. It is the best clipper I have found. It is easy being cordless. It is strong enough to cut through the fur though it does take a while with all the layers. My Golden loves it and feels so much better when she is shaved.

I have not used it on a golden ret., but do use it on my std poodle and airedale terrier. I had had a wahl plug in adjustable blade for over thirty years and loved it. This appears to be the battery version of the old clipper. So far I like the new clipper.

I have not, sorry, but I use it on my show pugs and it works great, mainly for whiskers, does not vibrate so much.

It was great for my Golden Retriever. Now that I have a mini Labradoodle, 33lbs. everything slips between the prongs. I wish they would make one for smaller dogs because it works so well on lawns!

yes. It works great for large dogs. One zap and they wont come at you again. It doesnt seem to harm them, just freaks them out.

My golden male will chase other smaller dogs. The Dogtra will stop him immediately. Hope it works for you

We bought it for a golden retriever. The collar can be adjusted though and I suppose you could cut any excess off.

I don't see why not! I tried it on Golden Retriever and it seems to be accurate

It works very well on my maltipoo. I did it for about 2 weeks, once a day. His eye area is very bright and clean. Keep at it.

I have a yellow lab with a thick coat. It works good on him. Make sure you use the longer prongs though and make sure you work the collar so the prongs actually are touching the skin. Don't leave it on the dog all of the time though. Not only does the dog get to where it will only respond when it's being beeped or shocked it can cause redness and sores where the prongs are. Hope this helps.

We have used it with a Golden Retriever. She also likes tennis balls. No problem with either.

I put mine on a german shepard,it really worked good,it worked to good,it zapped my dog so much she only wore it for 5 minutes.if it doesnt do what you want,when your wonderful dog barks grab him by the scurff of the neck until its almost off its feet and say no,it hurt me to do this but her parents use that method in the wild.it really works. merry christmas.

I also have a golden retriever - this towel is very good at drying and also getting dirt out of their paws - BUT - I wash and dry it almost daily - I love the towel so I ended up buying two - I use it with the paw plunger (this has been GREAT)

I have one on a head halter and one who isn't. I have had minimal issues with tangles, and my dogs are different heights, I think with two goldens you shouldn't have any issue at all.

I think our 8 yr old golden retriever was more playful a little over a month after we started using it. Make sure you are doubling the dose the 1st week or 2.

I have an 85# golden retriever 'pup' 8 months old, and the collar slowed him down the first few times, but his coat is so thick, he doesn't care about the points on the collar. I am considering a shock collar instead to try to get some control-I have had several large dogs before and not had a problem being the leader- each dog is different I guess. I also am hoping when he is neutered it will help too. You may need something more powerful to master your dog before he gets any bigger-at 13 weeks he should not be aggressive-your best answers may be in talking to your vet for recommendations in training. The DVD's with this system (I have found) are unrealistic in the results you can get from this collar.

It worked great for my 10 year old dog... F.Y.I just had to place some scent on it to give him the right idea.good luck!

I have 2 Golden Retrievers and one has always been a puller and a dragger. Never experienced a problem with her "backing out" to date. Mind you, it does`nt make her the (perfect) walking Dog but I know longer need to risk having my arm pulled out of my shoulder socket.
