What do you mean by biddable?

I mean it as kind of like agreeable/willing to accept training.

I try my best to work solely with positive reinforcement, but there are a couple of times I use negative reinforcement, mostly when my puppy becomes treat aggressive with the other two. Had to stop that as soon as it started.

I have used negative reinforcement a few times with my current dog, but I try to avoid it just because of what you said. Too much of it can elicit a negative reaction and strip confidence/make the pup timid.

Goldens do some goofy crap though. I love watching my goldens play. And pretty often they lay in the oddest positions.

Endless entertainment . Going back to the lab/golden comparison, I feel like goldens are normally a lot more social with each other as well than a lot of labs I've been around. The field bred dogs have such vibrant personalities. I probably have 500 photos over the years on my camera roll of my current dog in some completely contorted upside down pretzel shape on my couch.
