We host gatherings in New York City for dog lovers -- both dog owners, and non-dog owning animal lovers who'd like to spend some time with friendly pups and likeminded humans. We avoid force-based training methods and encourage holistic, thoughtful pet ownership. Check back here for puppy playgroups, adult dog playgroups, lectures, workshops and seminars. We also list other NYC Pet Events at http://thedo.gs.

Every rescued dog is a success story, and this group can be a place to share your dog's own story while meeting other people who have made the same commitment to saving an animal from a shelter, the streets, or any other bad situation. Join us for a casual leashed walk around Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Since many people are kind enough to adopt dogs with behavioral issues, this isn't a playgroup, but rather a low-key pack walk. Our walks generally last 1.5 hours, and may involve some hills and/o …

To all the small dogs and their owners out there in Brooklyn, I'm hoping to start a group so my Shih-tzu Charlie can meet other little dogs. He tends to be very shy, but interested in other dogs, and I'm hoping this could help him out of his shell a little. He is quirky, sweet and quiet, and so hopefully he'll make a few friends through this!

Some of our activities are FREE, some benefit animal rescues and some are more formal training and dog sports related classes. SUGGEST activities, playgroups and events you'd like to see!

This Meetup Group is for giant breed dogs and their owners to socialize and share tips, stories, and community with one another. Only we know what it is like to have the "Is that a pony" question asked over and over and over and .... This will be a group where you won't have to hear that question (or any mention of saddles). And it is especially rough here in NYC where a large breed dog tops out at 45 pounds. We will be based in Brooklyn, and I imagine initially at least, will be mostly mee …

Living in an apartment with a dog is often a challenge, especially when that dog was bred to run full tilt for 12 hours a day! As someone living with a border collie, I often get stressed out about finding enough for him to do. I'm sure other people with herding dogs feel the same and I figure it might be fun to get together and do things with our energetic companions. This purpose of this meetup group is to meet other border collie (and similar breed) lovers, learn about training techniques an …
