Yet, its benefit – active feature – is also a weakness when considering in another aspect, so you have to observe if going out with it for a walk or exercise.

Feeding:

Depend on the size of your Goberian, feeding time requirement will be different. For medium and big ones, make sure they are consumed 3 – 4 cups of the very high-quality food every day. 

You can divide it into 2 meals. Keep in mind that giving it enough amount of food and the right kind because diet will directly influence your dog’s daily activities. 

It’s best to ask yourself some questions such as “can your dog eat beanswhite chocolate or popcorn?” before giving it a treat. Besides, if you care about its teeth and gums, dry foods are perfect options.

I recommend you choose low-protein food dog with ingredients of vegetables and raw meat in place of foods containing carbohydrates because the digestive system of Goberian is more suitable with protein. 

Store-bought and commercial products available on the market are not useful since they can cause some unexpected problems relating to growth, health, and coat.

Cleaning and Bathing:

Because Goberian is a cross-breed of Huskies and Golden Retrievers, it owns a double coat – the soft inner and thick outer coats. That’s why it’s prone to shed hair a lot, not being excessive. 

To guarantee your dog’s untangled fur and the best look, perform a brush at least every 2 – 3 times per week to get rid of loose hairs.

Also, Goberian has the ability of self-cleaning (grooming), but you also need to bath it each 2-3 months or whenever its fur is dirty. 

Apart from coat and fur, ears are also other parts which have to be clean all the time for protecting it away from ear infections. Meanwhile, teeth require 3 – 4 brushing times weekly.

  • Don’t bath yours too much because shampoo will cause dried skin and problems about skin like excessive shedding.
  • Use the type of specific dog shampoo and steer clear of human hair shampoo which might cause damage to the coat.

Training your Goberian:

Training your Golden Retriever Husky is a must-do to make sure it learns how to interact with all members of your family healthily and friendly. Don’t worry about training even you are the beginner due to the quick learner. Siberian Husky is known for the feature of intelligence, and most of Golden Retrievers are in eager. And Goberian is inherited from both elements.

Because of this outstanding feature, there is no need to take it to a specialist obedience class. All that you need is just a crate and clicker training to start. Crate training is an essential item to effectively train your dog goes to the toilet. 

Moreover, apart from the best memory foam dog bed, using a suitable and suitable crate can also make your dog love its own place more and stay away from your space all the time such as your bed and sofa. Meanwhile, clicker training is an essential thing to complete the above process – commanding and training your dog.

Basically, when you want your puppy to follow your command such as “sit,” “speak,” or “run,” take its attention by utilizing the clicker to show its actions are right or wrong. Another way is giving treat even this is better and more effective to get obedience.

Doing exercise with your dog:

Goberian is a very active dog. Thus, you should not only give your dog a spacious room but spend your free time to do exercise with it as well for its healthier and happier life. Skipping this step may lead to weight gain and some destructive actions.

Don’t just have a walk simply. The exercise games for Goberian is more diverse than what you think including running, hiking, swimming, chewing toys, playing tug of war. No matter what game you choose to play with your dog, the time requirement must reach at least 60 minutes.

I'm a self-employed blogger, life-long pet parent, and lover of dogs. I have always loved animals, especially puppies. So when my family got our first dog 15 years ago, it was love at first sight. We named her Sassy because she was so small, cute, and had a sassy personality! Once we got her home, I wanted to know everything about caring for her, so I researched online. Eventually, this led me to create the PUPPYFAQS website, where I write about nutrition, health, and care of puppies and the latest news in the world of puppies. In my spare time, I volunteer at my local shelter, which is run by volunteers who are passionate about helping homeless dogs find their forever homes. If I'm not working or volunteering for dogs, you can find me spending time with my family, friends, and my puppy. I have been writing professionally online since 2009. In addition to PUPPYFAQS, I also write for several other pet-related publications.
