In September of 2020 we got a puppy!!! Greta the Golden was born on August 7, 2020 and came to live with us in late September. She is beauty, she is grace, she is Miss. Carroll County. She has many of the "standard traits" of a golden retriever. She's gentle, friendly, willful, outgoing, playful, and so darn sweet. She truly is everything we could have dreamed of is a dog.
As a first time dog owner, I knew that I wanted to ensure that we had an animal that was trained and listened. Living on 12+ acres, it was important to us that she would stick around, not run after wildlife, and come when called. We knew that we wanted to enlist in training as soon as possible with the ultimate goal her her being fully trained before she was a year old. After extensive research for reliable trainers in our areas we chose to work with Milligan Valley Dog Training in Minerva, OH. Whitney and her team's focus is building a strong, loving and respectful relationship between dogs and their owners, working with them together as a team. We decided to do the Puppy Training program when Greta was 12 weeks old and then later enrolled her in the Board and Train program. Both of these instilled key skills and commands into her day-to-day routine and gave us humans the 4-1-1 on how to manage our sweet girl. We are beyond impressed with what Greta learned at "camp" and how well behaved she is for just 15 months old. We are able to take her with us everywhere, walk her off leash, and bring her around children without any worries. It has been a dream come true having a dog that we can do everything with and that is so well behaved. Check out the video below showcasing some of her awesome skills!
