Hi everyone my name is Michael from Huston Texas I’m 56 years old My golden retriever, Harley, is my shadow and my sunshine. His favorite things are carrying a shoe (not to chew, just to hold) and resting his heavy head on my foot. He has my whole heart.

Hello members, As ACE Adventure Canine grows, I want to make sure our community has the best chance to reach and inspire more outdoor-loving dog owners. Part of that vision is to share what we’re building here with a wider audience. With that in mind, I plan to make this group public on October 1st ⬅️ Here’s what that means for you: • Being public does not mean anyone can jump in. New people will still need to answer the screening questions and be approved before joining. • It does mean people outside the group can see a glimpse of what’s inside — the community vibe and the kinds of things we share here. They cannot comment or participate unless they become members. • You’ll always get advance notice of changes like this. • If you’ve shared anything you’d prefer to keep private, you’re welcome to edit or delete it before October 1. • Of course, you can also leave the group if being in a public community doesn’t feel right for you (though I would be sad to see you go 💚🐾). • Moving forward, please be mindful about details you share — stick with what you’re comfortable having public, and you can always message me directly for private conversations. My hope is that valued members like you will choose to stay and continue building this safe, supportive adventure space — now with a broader reach to inspire others. Thanks for being here, Maren (& Ivy)

Hellooooo! Arroooooo! Welcome and Wags! We’re so glad you made it. 🥾🐶 ACE is your basecamp for learning everything adventure canine and connecting with fellow dog lovers who want to explore the outdoors side by side with their dogs. Whether you're training for big hikes, wandering local trails, training your puppy, working through behaviour challenges, or just dreaming of future adventures, you're in the right place. 🧭 Start at the start -- like a trailhead kiosk.📍 Before you jump into the comments, complete the "Start Here" module in the Classroom. It's like checking the kiosk at a trailhead or calibrating your compass. You'll get a quick tour of how things work here (hint: it's as fun and simple as a dog's life) 🎒 Head to the "Trailhead Kiosk" and then come back here. ✅ Done that? Awesome! Now take your first step onto the trail and introduce yourself below ⬇️ We want to meet you! ✨ Your name & where you’re from 🐶 Your dog (or your dream adventure dog!) 🌲 Your favourite outdoor activity together 💛 One thing you love about your dog 🪄 One thing you’d change if you had a magic wand 📸 Bonus: Add a photo or GIF of your pup! 💚 How We Roll We support only humane, reward-based, and kind training methods. Discussions should reflect empathy, curiosity, and science-backed approaches. ✨ Kindness goes a long way — for both dogs and humans. Posts promoting punishment-based methods or tools will be removed. Let’s make this a place where you want to come back to again and again ... like your favourite hike when the wildflowers are in bloom, or the desert at sunset, or .... Side by side. Paw in Hand.
