Meet other Cavalier King Charles Spaniel dog owners; attend monthly outings with playtime and socialization for the Cavaliers. The best thing about the group is the interaction between the dogs. We have seen shy Cavaliers come out of their shell after just a few meet ups! and the Cavaliers have so much fun!

Meet other local outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, surfing, etc. This meetup is about enjoying the outdoors with others. I would like others to let me know of activities they would like to see happen and I will help organize. Dog owners are also encouraged to join since there are too few groups that permit dogs at times. All those who are dedicated to outdoor excursions near and far should sign up.

Who doesn't need more active, animal loving women in their lives for hiking, biking and hanging out?   Email me suggestions (and a date and time that work for you) and I'll set up an invite.

Beagles by the Bay was founded when I adopted my very own beagle girl, Cora. At 4 years old, Cora had already lived with 3 other families. I want Cora to have the best life possible, and socializing with other beagles is fun!

We are very dedicated to beagle rescue, and hope this can provide another platform for those of you looking to add to your fur family or t …

The goal of this group is to get as many people in the Contra Costa County to leave the couch, get out and hike, bike, walk the beautiful trails that we have around us; hopefully meeting once or twice a month.

Weekend hiking with the canine companion(s) and socializing with other hikers in the community. One doesn't have to be a dog owner to be a member; just someone who likes hanging around dogs and the outdoors. Since I'm still learning the area, I will be posting dog-friendly hiking trails from www.bahiker.com, but other suggestions are welcome and encouraged. My partner and I have a senior Corgi, so most hikes will be low-key and fall within beginner-to-intermediate levels. The majority of the hi …

A friendly place for Tiburon's finest dogs to play, and their owners to mingle!

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 …

Let's face it, we all could use more playtime, whether you're a dog or human, and our dogs can never get too much socialization and exercise.  It's in their nature to want to be social, and more active they are, healthier they will be (mentally and physically), same goes for us humans!  :) This group will meet regularly, dedicated to doing fun hikes or long walks in beautiful locations all around in and around San Francisco Bay Area. The goal is to have a regular calendar of events going so the …

So I'm sitting in this three-day, 13-hour-a-day Landmark Education self-improvement seminar in San Francisco, and all I could think about was escaping through one of the (hermetically sealed) windows and making a dash for Nob Hill, the only thing resembling a steep incline in the area. It was during the dinner break during the final day of the seminar that I conspired with Paul Schutzman and Mai-Ling Garcia -- two of the very cool people with whom I'd made a connection during our three days of c …
