If
you’re interested in a trained golden retriever puppy, understand that they will
always be puppies until they are about a year and half. They will not
fully mature until they are about 2 or 3 years old. What we offer is a
fantastic start for an inquisitive puppy to learn and to develop knowledge and
thinking that will last them a lifetime. Once you attain the puppy to be
in your home, they will have the skills and behavior to give you and your family
a wonderful experience throughout puppy hood. The opportunity here is to
save a great deal of time, knowledge, and experience that you or family may not
have to properly train golden retrievers to its full potential.

We
expose our trained golden retrievers to a variety of environmental settings,
such as shopping centers, banks, parks, etc. They are also very much exposed to
the indoor setting. They sleep in the home, and roam freely when supervised.
They are taught to run to their doggie beds and to stay for a lengthy period of
time. They are also taught to go into their crates and to love it. Yes, they
will love it. With the “leave it” command, they are taught not to chew on
furniture, remote controls, and various expensive items. Our trained golden
retriever puppies will know, by your command, what is not “okay” and what is “okay”
to chew. (Teething puppies will always need to chew on Nylabones or Kongs.
Puppies will always be puppies. Our trained golden retriever puppies will
always have that inquisitive nature to investigate and to learn. If not taught
properly, they can become confused and frustrated very easily. Unless you have
a great deal of time, or hire a certified dog trainer to spend every night with
your puppy for 10 weeks, your puppy may not be able to master all the basic
obedient commands. Our ability to teach qualified golden retriever puppies to
stay in its bed, “go potty” on command, to walk and greet others nicely, and to
come when called (consistently) may be an invaluable service for you and your
family.
Again, I must reiterate – it takes a qualified golden retriever puppy that has
the intelligence, eagerness to please, and the mental stability to be in our
program. We have relations with some of the top breeders in the country, who
also do intricate temperament testing on their pups.
The Academy consists of 5 Trainers that come in on a daily basis. We do have a
limited number of puppies in our small class. If another golden retriever puppy
student is enrolled, we begin another class at another time. Our objective is
to successfully train golden retrievers who will exhibit the behavior and
calmness of a well trained golden retriever.
Each puppy will be evaluated and graded on a daily basis. Each will have a
progress report by all 3 teachers, every day. Each student puppy will receive a
letter grade of “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, or “N” for each of the commands that they
are being taught for each day. On occasion, we will advance a puppy to an
extended program to learn neat doggie tricks.
Once the puppy has received his 3rd set of vaccinations, has mastered
most of the commands – sit, stay, down, heel, etc., we take the puppy to the
park, shopping centers or malls, or to a friend’s ranch. The field trips are
designed to give our trained golden retrievers full exposure to as many people,
sights, sounds, and fun filled experiences. This is where we are able to truly
assess their abilities and their progress.
Our Trained Golden Retriever puppies are for families who desire to have a well
behaved golden retriever puppy. Our trained golden retrievers are also
available to advance into programs utilized for service therapy and
disabilities. As members of the Association Pet Dog Trainers, we are proud of
our achievement and the puppies that have inspired us to continue doing what we
do best.
