I love dogs! Actually, I love cats, too. In fact, I love animals. Dogs are just so easy to love, but they need special attention and some dogs need more activity than we can give them. I'd like to offer a venue for people to spend time with their furry friends and meet some others people, too. Hiking with our dogs benefits all of us. We'll try to invite a trainer now and then, and make it fun! See you on the trail. Tail wags and belly rubs, Debbie Barnett

We organize fun and adventurous outings for dogs and their owners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Currently most of our hikes are in the South Bay Area. We occasionally offer walks in the afternoon and/or evenings and training sessions with a dog trainer. Our sponsors are businesses that offer their free time to organize hikes, walks and other fun outings for you and your dog. We are solely run by volunteers. We will also post other dog related events as a courtesy. Happy Hiking!

This group was created so that German Shepherd owners in the Tri Valley area and beyond could get together with our dogs for dog park meetups, hiking trips, wine tasting, and whatever other events that would interest everyone. I am also an active Member/ Volunteer/Foster mom for Golden State German Shepherd rescue so I thought this group would be a great way also to invite fellow members and our past adopters to bring back our adopted dogs for fun activities and socialization. This is an amazing …

A great place for dogs and their people to socialize on-leash. We welcome and love all dogs.

In December 2011, I was sitting in a three-day, 13-hours-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 th …

When we started several years ago, our goal was to explore Silicon Valley (aka "The Valley of Heart's Delight"), in part to show people there was more to the Bay Area than San Francisco.  Now we've visited just about every local museum from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to Millbrae, so we tend to journey farther afield for cultural/historical walks and day trips.  Our events include mundane after-work "well, it's better than just sitting on the couch" walks in local neighborhoods as well as more ambitiou …

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.

For years I was a solo backpacker who frequently ventured solo into less frequented areas. Recently I experienced a scare while doing so which made me realize how vulnerable a solo hiker off trail is. I concluded that for safety and companionship where any portion of the route is off established trails, I would prefer to hike with other independent-style backpackers. Those meetups of our group where I am part of the group will provide the partners I seek. My idea of a small group is myself, my d …

Activities we coordinate are: hikes, trips to local dog parks, social outings to wineries and restaurants, dog-related community service opportunities, “wo …

Welcome to the Fremont, Union City, Newark (F.U.N.) community of people who refuse to let our weight or size get in the way of living physically active lives. We're a team! We are NOT a weight loss group nor are we weight loss whiners. We are good health advocates for all sized people. We already know a major key to being healthy is exercise. Doing it together means greater success. You've probably already experienced that feeling of being the last one to cross the finish line because your weig …

This is a dog friendly group for women in Palo Alto who would like to walk early weekday mornings before work and support each other to lose weight. We will do easy to moderate 2-3 mile walks at a steady pace and go faster when the group gets more fit and feels ready. I have found that having walking partners and a support group is very helpful to establish getting up and out and establish a routine. The vision for this group is to walk 3-4 times a week between 7:00-8:00 a.m. in the South Palo A …

Meet other German Shepherd Dogs and their People for socializing, exercise, laughter and that special kind of exuberant GSD play.

It's a great time for all. Out-of-area members are welcome, and can still enjoy this group via neat m …
