For those who wish to hike/walk their dogs in a group setting, for those who wish to be around dogs but can't have one, or for those who love to hike/walk and don't mind hiking with dogs present. There will be a combination of easy and medium hikes, fast and slow hikes, and long and short hikes at various times of the day.

This Meetup group is for those of us who love to hike with our dogs. We seek out the best dog-friendly trails in Oakland and nearby cities. We meet in small groups and our goal is fun for our dogs in a safe and friendly group. Our canine membership is very diverse ranging from a 6 pound Mini to a 180 pound Great Dane. We have a variety of breeds and mixes with all kinds of backgrounds. Dogs are social creatures just like their humans and the group interaction on our hikes is great for the dog's …

Hello and Welcome!  I started this group in 2011 to provide opportunities for dogs and their owners to enjoy some outdoorsy activities and socializing in the greater Sacramento/Norcal area.   I like to emphasize off leash hiking and events, but any events or event suggestions are welcome. ** All dogs (any breed or mix!) are welcome on or off leash, as long as they are well-socialized and friendly. All people are welcome (with or without dogs), as long as they are dog lovers! *** Please read the …

Get out and explore...with your dog. This group is for active dog owners who enjoy the outdoors as much as their pooches and don't want to leave them behind. We're about hiking, kayaking, Mtn. Biking, day/weekend trips, snowshoeing, XC skiing, social events, and last but not least training.

This meetup group is for "pet parents" who love and treat their dogs as part of the family, and are looking for events and activities where both dogs and humans can socialize and enjoy themselves. If you love dogs (whether you have one or not), feel free to attend our meetups and meet other fellow dog lovers! Our activities include hiking/walking on dog-friendly trails, group meetups at dog-friendly parks, pet fairs and humane shelter volunteer work -- as well as any other dog friendly activity …

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. Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly to both humans and other animals on AND off leash.  This is a hiking group designed to be stress free for humans and animals alike. Owners who bring dogs that repeatedly exhibit aggressive behavior on any given hike will be asked to walk separately from the group …

The Outlaws are a group of nature-loving outdoor folks who insist on bringing their dogs along. Why hike if I can't bring my dog? is our question. We hike mostly in Marin county, but sometimes East Bay too. Summer overnights and weekend camping trips to National Forest destinations. Swimming, BBQ, hiking, fetch, fun.

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

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 …

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 will also post other dog related events as a courtesy. Happy Hiking!

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 …

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 …

CONGRATULATIONS! You have PASSED initial screening process! As men, living in this feminist society, we have been reduced to a bunch of pussies. Our forefathers would spit in our faces if they saw what we've become in this day and age. We 've become Soft. Indecisive. Predictable. Metro-sexual. We let our mothers, wives, girlfriends, children, and pets run our lives! Man is no longer the Head Of The Household. WTF happened to us? Why are there so many women's support and development groups, and n …

Walks usually start at 12 or 1 at a public transporation friendly starting point and end around 5 or 6 in time for happy hour.  Happy hour is optional and non-drinkers are welcome.  Some of our walks are dog friendly and when possible we will try to find a dog friendly happy hour.  Sometimes, we just go to happy hour or a wine bar.  We also like movies/films and we may schedule some film events as well.

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 …
