We host gatherings in New York City for dog lovers -- both dog owners, and non-dog owning animal lovers who'd like to spend some time with friendly pups and likeminded humans. We avoid force-based training methods and encourage holistic, thoughtful pet ownership. Check back here for puppy playgroups, adult dog playgroups, lectures, workshops and seminars. We also list other NYC Pet Events at http://thedo.gs.

We are a group of Astorians who own/love dogs and we are on a mission to restore Bugsy's Dog Run at Astoria Park. Most of the legalities are done, we are just waiting for final approval, and then we will raise funds and get to work! In addition we will be organizing dog related events, from playdates at the park, to road trips to dog-friendly beaches in the summer and whatever other suggestions our members come up with. Please join us, and become part of a great Astoria community!

This group is for dogs and their owners to get together for walks, trips to the park, the beach, and especially lunches and brunches at dog friendly restaurants with outdoor seating :) We may also do a day trip or overnight adventure with our dogs! We love our pets...but we also love doing fun human things! There are SO many groups for dogs on here - this one is for the dogs AND their owners. Let's do all the things humans like....with our furry friends too! :)

This is is an indoor MeetUP  for small dogs 12 pounds and under. 

This group is for animal lovers/animal rescuers looking to meet new people in the city with similiar interests.

This site has gone to the dog! All things dog! We'll chat about places to go, things to sniff, what's bark worthy and what's not. Our favorite doggy designers, our favorite doggy venues, our favorite local doggy charities. AND, we'll keep you up-to-date with all of the doggy events in the NYC area. If it's dog related, we'll cover it! Let's have fun with fido!

I opted to start this group so dog parents can spend quality time with their pooches as well as with other dog lovers! Many groups typically meet on Saturdays, and it seemed to me that Meetup.com was in need of a new local dog group that got together on Sundays for those of us who can't make Saturdays, or who just love spending 'Sunday Funday' with our dogs!

This group was formed for the purpose of bringing together long island dog owners and their dogs to play in our  safe, indoor, off-leash playground at Fido Fitness Club. See: Fidofitnessclub.com.  All dogs must be vaccinated and temperament checked.

I love to see my dog happy! When I take him for a run on my Trike- he thinks he is going to a Rock Concert! Bring your dog and watch he or she really take off ! If you are up to it, bring your running shoes and try to keep up. This is the group for you if you care to see life through your dogs heart on a romp around Central Park!

I noticed that while there are a ton of groups in Manhattan for small dog owners to get together with and without their pets, there aren't any for us big dog owners. I live on the UWS, am single, and have the world's most playful 6 year old chocolate lab.... I'd love to meet likeminded people also with big dogs for playgroups and fun. Perhaps we can meet on Saturday or Sunday mornings in Central Park, or organize fun runs, or just generally mix and mingle with our awesome dogs.... So, if you hav …

Living in Queens, we have access to such parks as Little Bay Park, Cunningham Park, Bowne Park, Crocheron Park, and Alley Pond Park. It will be great fun to meet other dog lovers for play dates, to share advice, friendship & other other doggy & human fun. All WELL-BEHAVED dogs are welcome.
