Instead of bringing dogs to a fenced in "boxing ring" to rough house and potentially get hurt, we are bringing them on a focused walk in their most natural state - in a pack. We can do simple paved trails, such as Bare Cove or Pond Meadow Park. Or we can step it up a notch and try the paths less traveled, and go for hikes on the Blue Hills. Location suggestions are welcome! So, all friendly pups and their owners, come join us on our walks for exercise, socialization and some fresh air. Rememb …

Welcome, and thank you so much for your interest in our beloved bully breeds!

(We have the best and nicest human members too - so nice getting to know everyone!)

We are open to anyplace we can be off-leash in a safe or fenced place.
