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.

We had such a wonderful experience with Golden Touch. We got our dog Teddy there. He is so sweet, gentle, healthy and well trained. We love him! Everyone says how beautiful he is. Jennifer and John are amazing!

I would like to describe our experience with Jennifer and John, the owners of Golden Touch Pets. This is our third Golden Retriever and my initial impression of Jennifer and her approach to breeding English Cream Golden Retrievers was the emphasis she placed on the health and well being of all of their dogs.. from foundation dogs to puppies. The depth of knowledge and information I received through both their website and during phone calls was amazing. I had never encountered this level of detail from any of our previous breeders with which we had worked. A new dog owner expects assurances of certain limited health guarantees from better breeders, as was the case with Golden Touch Pets. However, there are important differences that set this breeder apart. They have a genuine care and concern for the life long well being of their pups, as evidenced by their thorough vetting of the potential adoptive family. This concern carries on beyond adoption through their continued relationship with the owner to ensure the success of the adoption. They encourage feedback from the new owner and offer flexible options for the owner to use them as a resource in the training of the new pup, further evidence of their strong desire to support the adoptive family on a continuing basis. Golden Retriever puppies can almost always sell themselves...but the puppies fortunate enough to be born into and become a part of the Golden Touch family are truly blessed.

Wonderful all around with Jennifer and John. The attention to detail, thoughtful communication and obvious love they put into their work made us feel comfortable throughout the process, even being somewhat new at it. Golden Touch truly is special. Highly recommend!!

Golden Touch is a first class operation from initial conversations to picking up our golden retriever baby:). Jennifer and John truly love what they are doing and it shows by the information they share (and continue) to the disposition and training our new baby has. Highly recommend them!!
