Golden Retrievers are one of the most recognizable and loyal dogs. English Golden Retrievers are very similar to their American counterparts, however, there are some differences. English Golden Retrievers often have a slightly larger head, and they are typically a little shorter and stockier than their American counterparts.
English Golden Retrievers have very similar traits and personalities, which make them a prime choice for an ESA dog (Emotional Support Animal).
What traits do English Golden Retrievers have
English Golden Retrievers are often loyal, sweet, loving, and affectionate dogs, and they tend to have a calmer and quieter personality. While this is generally true, there are always exceptions, not all English Retrievers will be the same, their personalities can be quite different from breed norms. It’s important to take time to evaluate the English Golden Retriever puppy you are looking at to make sure their personality will match what you are looking for.
Because of their typical character traits, English Golden Retrievers are often a top choice for ESA dogs. Their affection, loyalty, and loving natures make them attentive companions who will want to help you feel better during stressful and trying moments.
What is an ESA dog
An ESA dog (Emotional Support Animal) is an animal that provides comfort and support for emotional needs. ESA’s are not the same as Service Dogs and do not share the same rights to public locations. An ESA dog, however, is allowed to reside with their owner despite any no-pet policies. While they do not share the same public privileges as Service dogs, they do share the right to housing, regardless of pet policy.
How do the traits of English Golden Retrievers affect their ability to be ESA dogs
English Golden Retrievers are often good choices for ESA dogs because of the character traits they possess. These traits include:
- Calm demeanor
- Trainability
- Social and friendly
- Non-aggressive
- Adaptable
- Affectionate
- Intuitive
These traits in addition to others are almost identical to the desired traits of an ESA dog, which is why English Golden Retrievers are often the top choice for people looking for an ESA dog.
How to do English Golden Retriever ESA’s help anxiety
An English Golden Retriever is a great choice for an ESA dog if you suffer from anxiety. These dogs make a great choice for helping with anxiety disorders. Their intuitive nature and their affectionate natures are two of the top qualities to look for in a dog when searching for an ESA for anxiety.
Because of their intuitiveness, English Golden Retrievers are often able to pick up on emotional needs, anxiety attacks, and other stressors before they manifest fully. This enables them to assist you with managing your anxiety and working through any anxiety attacks you may have.
Their affectionate nature is a great help with anxiety as well. Their desire to share affection with you during times that may be stressful or overly anxious can help provide a calming presence, helping you to bring that level of anxiety down.
