Antoinette and Caleb

I work at Golden Meadows Kennels and I have the opportunity to see many of our puppies and dogs do wonderful things for families and children. But, I never once thought that I would be able to use one for my own family.
My Son Caleb has been fighting sleep for about 2 months. He would be up for hours on end every single night crying and screaming. He showed no signs of having a nightmare nor was he hungry or thirsty. My doctor recommended many different remedies to try on Caleb in order to get him sleeping better, NOTHING worked. Not only did this mean he wasnt sleeping but neither was I.
Finally, Alicia, one of the trainers here, recommended that I bring one of the trained golden retrievers, Antoinette, home as comfort to Caleb. OH MY GOODNESS, she was amazing! Not only did my son have his first full night of uninteruppted sleep in 2 months, BUT Antoinette stayed on his bed all night long. I thought that maybe I just got lucky that night. I decided to bring her home again and got the same results. Ever since I have brought her home for Caleb he has slept like an angel every night. Who knew all Caleb needed was a “mans best friend” to comfort him through the night!
Now keep in mind, if this is something you want to try for your child or recommend to another family, you want to make sure you are using a very well behaved and trained golden retriever. Antoinette has a huge desire to love children, as do most of our golden retreiver puppies.
Take a look at Costners story to see what other amazing things our trained golden retrievers can do. The list is endless!
Golden Retrievers are one of the best family dogs out there, with their sweet and loving personalities to their gorgeous looks, who wouldnt want one?!
