Welcome from The Golden Retriever Retreat

RETRIEVER HEAVEN!

Hi! My name is Louise and I have loved all things Golden Retriever for the last 13 years.I work tirelessly to ensure my pack (4) is happy, healthy and leading their best lives.This involves them being able to express and experience Breed specific activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. You would be amazed by how just walking them in a different place everyday, giving them longer walks and scent work can really improve their behaviour and contentness. Happy pup, happy owner!!
Therefore I did not set out to be any "other" dog sitter. I wanted the dogs to be at the forefront of what I did. To the pup I want to be the next best thing to the owner.
You will notice my prices are all stated as "From", this is because my services are bespoke and have add ons and take aways depending on what your dog needs. 
Not sure what you need? Get in touch and I will give you some suggestions.

Dog Walking

FROM £10

The best part of a dog's day!

Each dog is different, a puppy may need lead & and socialisation time. A teenager may need to practice his recall in a secure field, a senior may need a sniff Safari around a new wood. To be happy content dogs they need to be able to exhibit breed behaviours, such as tracking, retrieving and swimming.

 That's why we offer a wide range of walks tailored to your pup's needs.

See our dog walking page for a number of suggestions!

Puppy Socialisation 10 - 16 Weeks

POSITIVE EXPERIENCES FOR PUPPIES.

The Development Window for new experiences is said to shut at 16 weeks for a puppy. Hence to get a well rounded dog you need to cram as many new experiences as you can into the first 16 weeks of life.If you have chosen your puppy breeder well, your pup will have already had a great start, with lots of new experiences. But this does not stop when you collect from your pup from the breeder. We still have plenty more work to do!I can help with this with trips out, exposure activities, introductions to groomers, Canine Swimming.....
