Ideas for meeting

Find company for a dog walk

A shared walk starts with the dogs’ comfort. Even when their owners get along easily, the animals may need time and distance.

Describe your dog and walking pace

Mention size, age and how your dog responds to other animals. Avoid promising that the dogs will definitely become friends. Say whether you want a calm parallel walk or something more active.

An invitation to adapt

A 30-minute walk with my calm adult dog. Looking for company; we will start on leads with some space between us. Park and time to be agreed.

Choose neutral ground

Meet on a spacious path where you can keep distance, rather than outside someone’s home. Check park rules on dogs, leads and muzzles. A park’s presence in the directory does not confirm that dogs are allowed.

Give the dogs space

Start by walking in the same direction at a distance. Do not release dogs or offer another dog treats without the owner’s agreement. Bring water and bags. If a dog is tense, separate; a short trial is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

Turn the idea into a meeting

Browse invitations or suggest your own plan.

Where to go together

Choose a city and explore places. Check facilities for your activity, accessibility and reservations with the venue.
