Yes, you can bathe your dog with a hose. Just make sure that you run plenty of water through the hose as often times the water sitting in the hose can warm up with sun and come out very hot at first. Also, make sure that Chloe is completely dried afterwards since Golden Retrievers often have a thick coat that can stay moist underneath and cause skin issues.
