Where small, friendly dogs and their human families can get together and have fun play dates, share advice and friendship. All breeds of dogs are welcome, as long as they are friendly. This should be a great opportunity for our sweet dogs to get out and socialize with one another. I know my little girl can never get enough playtime with other dogs or people I'm thinking we could initially meet at dog parks. We could also try some walks with the small dogs who are inclined to walk. Another fun t …

We organize fun and adventurous outings for dogs and their owners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently most of our hikes are in the South Bay Area. We occasionally offer walks in the afternoon and/or evenings and training sessions with a dog trainer. Our sponsors are businesses that offer their free time to organize hikes, walks and other fun outings for you and your dog. We are solely run by volunteers. We will also post other dog related events as a courtesy. Happy Hiking!

Meet other German Shepherd Dogs and their People for socializing, exercise, laughter and that special kind of exuberant GSD play. Meet-ups are member generated (meaning it is up to each of us to schedule meetups whenever we can!), held all around the Oakland/East Bay area, and vary from fully enclosed dog parks, partially enclosed dog friendly areas, hikes, beaches and anything else we think of! It's a great time for all. Out-of-area members are welcome, and can still enjoy this group via neat m …

If you take your IG out a lot (as we all do), you probably hear from people that "Oh! Yeah, I saw one of these the other day." You wonder to yourself, "Where are all these IG's?" So, let's get them together. There are meetups in the north bay but none in the south, and CA IG rescue has confirmed that many many dogs are adopted in the South Bay, so I think we have the potential to get many dogs! Note: I prefer not to charge membership dues, however donations are welcome (info@jlevisw.com is my …

I love dogs! Actually, I love cats, too. In fact, I love animals. Dogs are just so easy to love, but they need special attention and some dogs need more activity than we can give them. I'd like to offer a venue for people to spend time with their furry friends and meet some others people, too. Hiking with our dogs benefits all of us. We'll try to invite a trainer now and then, and make it fun! See you on the trail. Tail wags and belly rubs, Debbie Barnett

Creative Collaboration training day was inspired to help people commit to regular training, REGARDLESS of the methods they choose to use. To train a dog one needs other dogs and people around, so here's your chance to get in on the training action!! A simple Rally-style course will be set up with "planted distractions." 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 …
