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.

Golden Touch is an incredible program. We could not have been more pleased with our experience working with Jennifer and John. Even before the littler was born Jennifer began updating us on what to expect and gave very helpful tips for raising a healthy and happy puppy. The communication was tremendous and really helped put us at ease. And the pictures of the puppies got us even more excited (if that was possible!). The puppies go through early neurological stimulation starting on day one and they are socialized and trained every day. When we brought our puppy home it was clear she had already built up confidence and that her calm and independent demeanor was largely due to the work Jennifer put in in the puppies' first 8 weeks. When our puppy had her first vet appointment the vet was so pleased to let us know how healthy she was. Overall, we could not be happier with our experience and strongly recommend Golden Touch to any and all prospective puppy parents.

I cannot recommend Jennifer and John at Golden Touch more! If I could give them more then 5 stars I would. I was recently in search of a golden retriever puppy, and they exceeded all of my expectations. The process from the start was very easy going and I fell in love with their love for goldens and their personalities even more! They make you feel like you apart of their home from the very beginning. I want to thank them for being so helpful when it comes to sending information and recommendations on what to do and how to do it throughout the waiting process. I just received my puppy this weekend and I am thrilled she is so beautiful and you can tell she was raised by amazing people who really about their business. I am so lucky to have found them and will highly recommend them to anyone in search of a Golden Retriever! - Francesca

We had a wonderful experience getting our puppy Belle from Jennifer and John at Golden Touch. They answered all of our questions thoughtfully and gave us plenty of information on training and care. Belle is a sweet and intelligent puppy eager to learn! We highly recommend!

We cannot give Jenifer and John at Golden Touch a higher recommendation… They have been a breeder like no other. We have bred dogs our self and my husband has trained them professionally for many many years. Golden Touch goes above and beyond to provide healthy pups with solid temperament and constitution. Customer service is outstanding.
And did we mention on top of all that they are absolutely beautiful dogs?
After losing our original golden retriever, we researched high and low and came up with Golden Touch… So glad we did! 💛
