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.

This meetup is dedicated to new dog owners who want to socialize their pups during the two critical stages of puppy SOCIAL development which will determine how well adjusted their dogs will be on/off leash with other dogs for the rest of their lives.

The purpose of this group is to provide socialization and play time for small dogs under 12 pounds in a safe indoor venue. We will meet periodically in various Dog Day care Centers around Manhattan. This group is a play group only that is geared toward the shy dog who needs to gain socialization skills, active dogs who need more play time with other dogs, puppies who need to learn to play with other dogs and owners who wish to socialize their dogs and meet with other dog owners.

This group is for well socialized small dogs of all breeds up to 12 pounds. The meet-ups will be held in in-door spaces of doggy day care centers. We will have open space to play for the dogs and dog snacks and people snacks. There will be drawings for prizes at each meet-up.

Welcome to The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Meetup Group of New York. The group was started in 2006, thanks to my Cavalier, Digby.

Many great things can be gained from being in our group ie: new friends (both dogs & humans) finding new dog parks, celebrating birthdays & most importantly socializing Cavalier's.

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 …

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 …
