“ Above all, Rollo and the members I've met so far are amazingly friendly and just darn cool. The group is highly active, going once or even twice a week, so there are many opportunities to join in, no matter if you're looking for weekend, weekday, short, long, local or far. One of my favorite Meetup groups. I look forward to many more outings with these guys! ”

If you have a dog that needs to learn how to walk better on a leash this could be a great way to get him or her to practice leash walking for 2 to 3 hours. It was alot of fun to walk the trails and share stories about our dogs and get some well needed excercise. ”
