Wilton's Golden Retrievers

🥁 Introducing… Golden Paws Therapy Services
We’ve been working on this project for months and are so excited to share with you now that our vision has come to light.

Ava is now a certified Therapy Dog and will start working in our community very soon!
We started this vision when little Bonny joined the crew but quickly realised our Ava is already perfect for this role. Bonny is still working through her training program.

With special mention to Mike The Dogfather Dog Training and Sam at Therapy Dogs Australia for guiding us on this journey. We are very excited to see what we do next together.

Naturally, while we have focused on this project our breeding plans have been put on hold. For those who have enquired over the last few weeks, we may have a litter late 2024/mid 2025.

We're nearly ready to share something very exciting 🤩 for those who have seen our recent posts and who we've been working with, here is another clue.

Bon had her first session with The Dogfather Dog Training yesterday. She was absolutely knackered afterwards.
We’ll post some training videos over the next few weeks 🤩

Last week we posted a video of Ava the Golden Retriever demonstrating what "Lifeskills 4 Lifestyle" means to us - well Bonnie is her niece. Bonnie will be working through our progressive program starting with the 1-on-1 Superpups Puppy Development Program, then into our Lifeskills 4 Lifestyle classes, and then onto Private Coaching platform.

Bonnie is working towards the future goal as a Therapy Dog, and based on the smile on Mike's face following their session, we think she has all of the necessary qualities.

Happy first Birthday to Ava and George’s puppies!! George didn’t get much of a look in with most of the puppies turning into spitting images of our Ava 🥰

Cyclone preparation tips!

Identification: Ensure your dog has proper identification, including a collar with an ID tag that includes your contact information. Ensure your microchip details are up to date!
Air tags are a good investment - they work when in range with any apple device.

Evacuation Plan: Plan ahead and know where you can evacuate with your dog. Not all shelters accept pets, so identify pet-friendly shelters or hotels in advance. If you desperately need help, reach out. We'll always find space for one of our pups!

Emergency Kit for Your Dog:
Sufficient food and water for at least a week.
Medications and medical records.
First aid kit for pets.
Comfort items such as a favorite toy or blanket.
Leash, collar, and harness.
Waste bags for cleaning up after your dog.
Photos of your pet for identification purposes.

Ivy's hot tip - don't panic unless its time to panic.
A solid foundation and training (including crate training) will be fruitful during times like these.
Stay safe people!
