OFFICIAL CLUB ADVENTURE: Connected in Motion—Building Calm, Confidence & Communication in the Real World

ABOUT THE EVENT:
Join Golden Dog and professional trainer Ashley Clark of You and Your Dog Training & Services for a hands-on, real-world experience designed to strengthen connection, communication, and confidence—for both you and your dog.

As spring brings more activity, distractions, and stimulation, this guided adventure will help you and your dog navigate it all with greater awareness and ease. Through structured exercises and live coaching, you’ll learn how to work as a team—reading each other more clearly, responding with intention, and building trust in the moment.

This isn’t about control—it’s about connection, communication, and trust.

Benefits of Attending:

• Gain the ability to recognize and respond to rising arousal in real time
• Build stronger connection with your dog—before, during, and after distractions
• Learn how to use movement and environment to support calmer, more balanced behavior
• Strengthen communication skills that create trust and clarity
• Walk away with simple, real-world tools to turn everyday moments into opportunities for connection and growth

What to Bring:

• A 10-15 ft. long line (no retractable leashes)
• High-value treats that your dog loves
• Water and a bowl for your dog
• A chair or mat for observation periods
• Comfortable clothing and proper footwear for outdoor training

This session is ideal for anyone looking to better understand their dog, build a stronger connection, and feel more confident navigating real-world situations—whether you’re facing challenges or simply want to deepen your relationship and grow together.
