My whole outlook at dog training and owning a pup has changed since I started with your membership. I'm much more open to just let Lucy be Lucy, and work with a much more open frame of mind while training. More of a mindset of let's have fun and see where this takes us!

I love this dog community! I have only positive words for the education and experiences I have gained since becoming a member of Golden Dog Adventure Co. Traci and her team go above and beyond finding the most knowledgeable dog educators in the area who have good values and want the best for people and their dogs.

As a member, I am able to participate in the online learning series each month. What sets this learning apart is that Golden Dog uses professionals known in the area. It is clear that they meticulously screen their experts and only partner with the best. I have also seen first hand the difference the training has made for both the humans and dogs. The dog owners have more confidence and work hard implementing change. Part of the confidence comes from empathy within the group and the trainer. It is a real sense of "you are not alone in this".

My fearful reactive guy has come sooo far, but we still have a lot of work to do. We just had the most AMAZING experience with Monica Allaire-McMahon of Barrington Barks and Behavior, a partner of Golden Dog. Thank you to the Golden Dog team for creating this great space providing all of these wonderful experiences and access to all of these wonderful experts.

So thankful to be able to bring my Paige on these walks. Paige is very shy and very wary of humans from having been born feral with zero human contact for the first months of her life. These walks have helped her confidence so much from having solely positive experiences being around other dogs and their human guardians. Everyone is so nice, respectful and understanding that Paige just needs a little extra space.

I am so glad that I have found this group! I love the activities, the people, the pups and really the community of like minded dog people! I had a great time yesterday at the coast for some hiking and swimming! Oh and don’t forget the ice cream stop too!! Thanks for the great pictures… that is an extra bonus.

Golden Dog Adventure Co. has helped our dog's confidence grow so much over the last year. Cody enjoys going on the outings, and now gets so excited when he sees Traci and Ray at the check in table. He has been able to experience so many new environments and loves seeing his dog friends and their people.

We found Golden Dog Adventure Co. after adopting a young dog after years of having senior dogs. We were immediately attracted to the idea of introducing our new boy to different areas, experiences, dogs, and people. We went to our first Pop-Up Walk to Mt. A and immediately fell in love with the premise. As we continued to attend events and meet more of the community, we started to value the club more and more. The resources introduced for both members of the community and those additional accessible to official members are proving invaluable and I’m so looking forward to seeing what experiences and learning opportunities the next year brings.

I joined Golden Dog community just about a year ago and have enjoyed getting to know people and their pups along with building better skills and knowledge for my time with my own dogs. I have grown as a dog owner and continue to grow. This experience has been a very positive one and has allowed me to take my dogs on different adventures to help enrich their lives. Very grateful for this group!

Golden Dog Adventure Company has been a great resource for my family. We have connected to wonderful experts that we may never have met if not for Golden Dog. Traci, Ray, and the crew are very friendly and make every event an amazing experience for both people and pups. We have met so many great people through the events. It really is a community that cares.

The variety of events, the opportunity to talk to experts virtually, and the overall group support has been greatly appreciated. All the events I have attended are very beneficial and very welcoming. I look forward to being able to participate in more of these opportunities in the future.

After joining Golden Dog, my parents and I were inspired to adopt Juniper, a dog who we barely even got to see when we went to meet her because she was completely shut down in fear. We knew it would be a challenge, but knowing that we had resources and support through Golden Dog pushed us to take on that challenge. While attending Golden Dog events, I have learned so much about Juniper and what things either make her too uncomfortable or help her feel more confident. I have also seen her confidence grow more and more, and it's made my heart soar seeing her finally open up and show her silly side at some of the group events. Even when things don't go quite as planned, or something happens that I might self-critically consider a failure, everyone at Golden Dog has been so supportive and understanding. Participating with Golden Dog has also helped me with some of my own social anxieties, and helped me to open up and make more friends as well as getting out and trying new things that I otherwise wouldn't try.

Golden Dog has been great for my boys and me. Great social events for my Dane and also exercise activities for my Belgian. Highly recommend getting involved, all the people that attend are fantastic too!
