Our playgroups are a great mix of dogs, many of whom have been going out together as a group for years. They range in age from 1-14 and in size from 15 pounds to 80 pounds, most are medium size (45-60 pounds) dogs. Some play fetch together, some wrestle with each other, some just like to wander along smelling things and checking in with us and each other.

Some of the criteria for our playgroups is that all the dogs have to be calm & polite while riding in the vehicle, no excessive barking, rowdy or destructive behavior. All the dogs need to be social or very tolerant of other dogs and people. We are not able to take dogs who may sometimes bully or target other dogs aggressively. We may need to be able to lift your dog into the vehicle or hold them by their collar so they need to be comfortable being handled.

We want our playgroup dogs to have fun and positive experience while staying safe so we do not visit fenced in dog runs. So your dog will need to have a reliable recall to insure they will stay with the group on our hiking adventures. We do keep all new dogs on-leash for their first few days/weeks with us to build a relationship and to help them integrate with the other dogs while learning the routine.

• 1-2 hour off-leash hikes at Fort Funston, Stern Grove & Crissy Field...
