Finding a Dog Meetup Near You
With winter upon us, I’ve discovered that my little Chublet cannot tolerate the cold. This isn’t unusual for pugs, but he can’t even go around the block. Both he and Anna are dying for some exercise and playing at the park just isn’t an option right now.
One solution I’ve found for their boredom and need for socialization is the meetup. There is this website online called Meetup.com where people can arrange all kinds of shared interest groups, and there are a lot of dog groups. Most large cities have breed specific groups and sometimes general dog play groups.
I’m pleased that I found Meetup.com because I found the local pug meetup group and have taken Chublet to play with other pugs once a month for awhile now. At first he was terrified, but now he takes off and plays. It’s been essential for socializing him and teaching him how to behave around other dogs.
Now that winter is here, I realized that finding a good meetup that both dogs can attend will solve part of our problem with the weather. I discovered that we don’t really have a general dog meetup that allows any breed, but found that the bulldog meetup would let me bring my dogs to play. Better yet, joining the meetup is free, and play days just cost a five dollar drop in fee per family.
If you are looking for a good opportunity to socialize your dogs, or need somewhere to play indoors during the winter, you can try looking on Meetup.com and see if there are any groups in your area that offer indoor play!
