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 …

There's just something special about little white (or not so white) fluffy (or not so fluffy) dogs. It's amazing to see more than one at a time. And, I swear they recognize and love being with each other.

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

I have 2 standard poodles who love to play and socialize. We go to a couple of other dog meetups but don't meet too many other big dogs for running and more robust play. We're hoping to get together with any larger breeds who like to play and run too. We live in Southie, but we especially like Cat Rock Park in Weston. We are open to anyplace we can be off-leash in a safe or fenced place.

Socialization is key during a puppy's development, but it's so hard to find other dogs in their age group outside of formal puppy socialization classes. This group was created so Boston-area puppy owners can get together with their young pups (and young children too!) to make sure that our puppies will grow up to be well-adjusted and comfortable in a variety of social situations. We can meet in local parks, or even member's yards, depending on who's interested.... It'll be fun!
