Golden Touch has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Jennifer and John truly care about these puppies and they also care about the families who are adopting the babies. We appreciate the time and attention they spent with our beautiful puppy. Thank you so much Golden Touch!!!

About Golden Touch, Inc.
Golden Touch provides relationship-based dog training and placement guidance using the PAWS™ framework (Presence, Awareness, Wisdom, Structure). We focus on calm foundations, nervous-system stability, and long-term success for both dogs and families. Our work includes puppy foundations, service-dog candidate preparation, and guided placement for purpose-bred dogs. When appropriate, we support service-dog foundation training for tasks related to conditions such as diabetes, cardiac or autonomic events (including POTS), and PTSD, as part of a broader training program. Each partnership is individualized based on age, training level, and support needs. This is an application-driven, support-based process rather than a retail or volume program.

Thank you so much Golden Touch. You made my adoption process so flawless. I knew I wanted a Golden and wanted to find a breeder close to me I reached out to Jennifer and John and they helped with all of the process. I texted Jennifer everyday for 8 weeks with lots of questions and needed some advice as well. I am so happy. I picked up Midas on 05/19/24. He is the cutest boy and has manners already. Thank you so much If you are in the hunt for a beautiful golden and a very dedicated and conscientious breeder, look no further than Jennifer and John
Amazing!! See attached videos. Only allows for 30-second clips! I apologize if they're not perfectly cropped.

We picked up our beautiful 5-month-old English Cream Golden a few days ago and from start to finish, we had an absolutely fantastic experience with Jennifer & John at Golden Touch! The puppies themselves are beautiful but equally, they are superbly well taken care of and trained. Jennifer is an amazingly knowledgeable, caring, and skilled trainer who really knows what she's doing and is SO helpful in sharing her knowledge and helping us with the transition to having this amazing new family member! She was responsive through the entire process, from the beginning of our research through the pick up of our puppy, and since then as well, she has regularly checked in to see how the puppy's adjusting and has offered invaluable advice for helping the puppy acclimate to our home. Equally importantly, the puppy was already so healthy, happy, and well-trained that her transition to our home has been pretty seamless. Because we're first-time puppy owners, we've had some questions; we've turned to Jennifer and she has been unfailingly responsive and supportive, and her advice has been just what we needed to figure things out. John has been equally supportive and responsive in the entire process too, and has provided a lot of great information about the methods they use and their approach to rearing and training puppies. And the best part is, we know that we can continue to turn to both of them for answers and support in the future too! All in all, you cannot go wrong with Golden Touch! As first-time puppy owners, we were somewhat nervous to embark on this journey, but we feel so much more confident knowing our puppy has come from this amazing place. We cannot recommend them enough!
I took my puppy to get basic training done and jennifer and john went above and beyond! a huge difference in my puppy and they are so welcoming and kind. the most genuine people ever. they really care about their animals💕💕
