"Beach potato from the very beginning," reads the TikTok caption, as the California-area pup is seen running and jumping through the picture-perfect sand in front of an almost breathtaking backdrop. Adding to the atmosphere is a little Bob Marley playing in the background. Honestly, it's hard to imagine a better setting for a happy goldie to show off those famous good looks. (Although a case can be made for a golden retriever wearing a yellow raincoat in the rain, too!)
"How are these creatures real 😭," asked one in-awe commenter, with another adding, "That little face is pure sunshine." Meanwhile, a super-sharp person summed the whole video up perfectly, saying, "Goldie in the golden hour 🥰." It doesn't get much better than this!
How to prepare your puppy for the beach
Taking a puppy to the beach for the first time sounds like the ultimate summer adventure, but a little prep goes a long way. Before you bring your puppy anywhere, make sure she or he is comfortable wearing a collar or harness and walking on a leash. Practice basic commands like "come" and "leave it" too, because beaches are basically giant buffets of seashells, seaweed, and other questionable treasures your pup may want to explore with their mouth.
To make the day go as smoothly as possible, pack a beach bag geared just for your dog. Include fresh water, a portable bowl, poop bags, towels, and treats — any and all things to make sure your four-legged friend has what it needs. Once there, let your little canine companion explore gradually, as walking on sand can feel weird to dog paws and being near that much water can take some getting used to. Need more beach tips? Here are some more crucial tips for taking your dog to the beach.
Most important, though, is to keep your dog safe and supervised. Never let them swim out into the ocean unattended or drink the salty water. In the end, if they like the sandy adventure, they just might become your beach bum buddy in no time, awing you with their relatable before-and-after beach transformation!
