Club Rules

Welcome to The Golden Path Club, a joyful circle of golden hearts.
We walk together to celebrate connection, kindness, and nature

— with our Goldens leading the way

1. Good Vibes Only

This is a peaceful, friendly space — for both dogs and humans.
Leave stress and competition at the trailhead. Bring smiles, gratitude, and calm energy.

2. Connecticut Goldens Only

Membership is for Connecticut residents who are Golden Retriever owners.
Our gatherings are designed around a small, local community that meets regularly.

3. Goldens Only, Please

To maintain harmony and balance during walks, we kindly ask that only Golden Retrievers attend our meetups.
This helps keep the energy consistent and prevents potential tension between breeds.

4. Members & Their Goldens

Our walks are meant for owners and their dogs — not large groups or guests.
Please avoid bringing family or friends who aren’t Golden owners or club members.
This keeps gatherings focused, calm, and easy for the dogs to socialize.

5. Respect with Photos

We love sharing our golden moments, but please ask before photographing or tagging others.
Always respect the privacy and comfort of fellow members.

6. Nature & Respect

Leave no trace. Pick up after your dog, respect the trail, and care for every place we visit.
We want to leave every path better than we found it.

7. Spirit of the Path

We are not a public club — we are a circle of kindness, calm, and connection.
Walk slow, breathe deeply, and always keep your heart golden.
