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!

This purpose of this meetup group is to meet other border collie (and similar breed) lovers, learn about training techniques an …

Something that all dogs need: Exercise, Walks & Mental Stimulation!! Pooky's club was originally established in 2003 as a "cockers" only meetup.

For people, not necessarily old, who want to take some scenic walks on Long Island. Maybe bring the dog. Maybe stop and take a picture or two. Maybe look at a park bench and say "This has my name on it." This started as a germ of an idea days ago, and I have to admit that I'm blown away by the response. I've lived on the  Island 23 years now, and I think I can find any number of fun, safe places for leisurely recreation. Thanks!
