We are not the usual small dog social group you find around town
We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization that host Learn & Play Small Dog Socials guided by Certified on-site Canine Communication specialists, Pet Psychologists, and Trainers. We educate dog owners about positive and negative canine body language, and fur kids learn social etiquette & behavioral skills while they play.
