Let's face it, we all could use more playtime, whether you're a dog or human, and our dogs can never get too much socialization and exercise.  It's in their nature to want to be social, and more active they are, healthier they will be (mentally and physically), same goes for us humans!  :) This group will meet regularly, dedicated to doing fun hikes or long walks in beautiful locations all around in and around San Francisco Bay Area. The goal is to have a regular calendar of events going so the …

Weekend hiking with the canine companion(s) and socializing with other hikers in the community.

My partner and I have a senior Corgi, so most hikes will be low-key and fall within beginner-to-intermediate levels. The majority of the hi …

Welcome to Yorkies and Friends. We were founded to celebrate the free spirit of our dogs, and ourselves. Buddy Little Dog made me do it: he can't live without Allyne Park Meetups.

Allyne Park provides relative security, relative good weather and by its small scale favors our dogs with their tiny carbon footprints. Yorkies and Friends welcomes all small dogs. From meetup to meetup over fo …

You and your dog will both work the course and participate as a distraction for other dogs. All we ask is that you come with Enthusiasm for training!! **This is NOT an instructio …
