Is your golden retriever driving you crazy?


Do you find yourself embarrassed about your golden's behaviour in public?
Are you struggling to maintain harmony between your nippy pup and your children?
Do you have a new rescue, or over-excited young dog who just can't control themselves?

When you bring a dog into your home, you have a vision of the life you will lead together. Long, leisurely walks with your best friend trotting beautifully beside you, gazing lovingly up at you as you unclip the lead and both enjoy total freedom and all the joy a dog can bring.

You know it is possible.
Right now though, it's not your reality.
You're feeling frustrated, despondent and lost.
It doesn't have to be this way.
