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 …

This is a socialization group for small dog's (20 lbs. or under).

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 …

Living in an apartment with a dog is often a challenge, especially when that dog was bred to run full tilt for 12 hours a day! As someone living with a border collie, I often get stressed out about finding enough for him to do. I'm sure other people with herding dogs feel the same and I figure it might be fun to get together and do things with our energetic companions. This purpose of this meetup group is to meet other border collie (and similar breed) lovers, learn about training techniques an …

With short notice we go out and do good things like give blood, walk sheltered dogs, plant a tree...and then have a beer. Space is limited.

This group is currently closed to new members.

We're a group of Brooklyn brachycephalic dogs and the people who love them. French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, English Bulldogs, Pugs and their admirers getting together for some deep dog partying!

To all the small dogs and their owners out there in Brooklyn, I'm hoping to start a group so my Shih-tzu Charlie can meet other little dogs. He tends to be very shy, but interested in other dogs, and I'm hoping this could help him out of his shell a little. He is quirky, sweet and quiet, and so hopefully he'll make a few friends through this!

While it's nice to make the trek into Manhattan... sometimes it's nice to just stay local and take advantage of all the parks and dog runs we have in Brooklyn. Plus, I don't know about you but gearing up my pooch Ralfie and packing up his goodies can be quite an ordeal... especially if you have to bridge or tunnel into the city! Ralfie and I would love to meet up with other Brooklyn corgis and corgi owners. We can meetup once a month (or play it by ear) to let our pooches have some fun together.

We are the Dobies of Brooklyn who love to get together for walks, play, and lots of socialization! We will meet at parks, beaches, outdoor beer halls and the likes for lots of doggie (and human) fun. If you have other suggestions please speak up, and of course non-dobie siblings are always welcome! Also follow us on our facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/TheDobermanGangOfNyc
