This is a group for dog owners who like to walk their dog at Great Brook Farm in Carlisle. I enjoy taking my Boston terrier for walks there and thought it would be fun to form a pack walk. My dog isn't ready for off leash walks yet by herself but has done well off leash in a pack. I'd like to walk on Saturday or Sunday mornings. Let's socialize the dogs and socialize ourselves while we enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise!  We aren't discriminating here, let's bring dogs of all sizes! ;) I'm …

I am the owner of Boston's Walk N' Wag and would like to provide a way for dog owners to get together and let the dogs play while meeting people in the North End neighborhood.

We are a community of dog owners and dog lovers working together to support and encourage safe dog socialization through structured weekly pack walks. (We are NOT a stand around and play group.) We will hold regular, structured off-leash group walks and nature hikes at various times and locations around the Boston metro west and neighboring areas. We urge participants to use our outings as an opportunity to encourage and reinforce positive socialization skills and the behaviors you want your dog …

Welcome Shibas! I am the proud owner of a beautiful 5 year old Shiba Inu named Jayden. We moved to Boston in October 2011. After the success of setting up our last Shiba Inu meet up (17 Shibas) we decided to start up our own in the Boston Area. I love to keep Jayden active and meeting other Shibas is great for our pups. I will keep this Shiba group, active and updated at all times, to give all the Shibas in the Boston area chances to play with other Shibas. The meetups will be at several differe …

I want to try an experiment. Imagine a typical weekday after a long day at work. You finally get home, collapse onto the couch, click on the television…and then you remember—you have a petting zoo meetup to go to in 45 minutes. Problem is you don’t want to go to the petting zoo. Sure, it seemed like it’d be a hoot when you signed up for it eight weeks ago, but dammit your feet are tired, and you just want to relax, and besides—the new episode of Space Commandos is on tonight. So regretfully you …

There are many of us who are hiking on their favorite trails with their dogs and both are enjoying the ambiance of the environment. It would be great to share these experience with others. This will be a social network for their owners and dogs. Many folks have tried to take their dogs on organized hikes and found that dogs are not welcomed or not permitted which is understandable in some cases. Therefore, this site is specifically earmarked for those individuals who like to take their dogs on h …

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.

This meetup is for ALL dogs and their companions to enjoy each others' company out in the fresh air. All dogs and their companions are welcome to join - we do not discriminate against anyone!

Membership to this meetup is free. Feel free but not obliged to contribute a dollar or two after a few meetup events.

This group gets together at a fenced location in portland and lets their greyhounds play.

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!
