Golden Retriever Experience®

Golden Dog Farm LLC

| /

Golden Dog Farm and Butternut Goldens bring a whole new meaning to “Happy”! Surround yourself with a “happy” of Goldens from Butternut Goldens and Golden Dog Farm. Much like a gaggle of geese or a rhumba of snakes, a “happy” is a group of Golden Retrievers! And for a "Happy Hour" you can enjoy a playdate with at least 10 Golden Retrievers in the bucolic setting of Golden Dog Farm. Play ball, snap photos, and cuddle on your way to having the best afternoon of your life! Refreshments provided. 

Pricing: $79.50/person and includes 6% Vermont State Sales Tax ($75 + $4.50 = $79.50).  PLEASE REGISTER with both your phone number and email. Thanks

One of the best experiences ever. Everyone at the farm was great and made our time at the farm so special. Of course the Goldens were the highlight, starting with Lenny who greeted us. We got to play with the Goldens as they frolicked in the water and chased the ball. After, we had time to help dry them off and have more play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend it! Thank you for a great day at your beautiful farm!

Lifted my spirits

My husband and I enjoyed meeting all the goldens. Ginger was a doll to towel off and allow multiple hugs during the afternoon.
We lost our golden, Jake and have been heartbroken. Seeing all the dogs run smile and play was just what we needed. I shed some tears but I felt so happy during our session. Thank you for this amazing experience. Xo The Abdinoors

The experience was fun but the only thing I was alittle disappointed with was they let the dogs out of the truck and started the experience with hitting a tennis ball into a pond. So now after chasing a ball in the pond they are soaking wet. Now we are allowed to dry them off after a few dogs rolled in bear "poop" they are wet and stinky. I guess that is what the experience was about. My experience would be to play and cuddle with the dogs before they hit the water but all in all it was fun and the people running it were very nice and knowledgeable.

We were very pleased with our experience. The dogs were well behaved and well groomed. They are certainly well taken care of. Definitely worth the trip!
