These play dates are for people and dogs in our community who actively want to help support each other and belong to a community that gives back to dogs. Our dogs have so much fun and the humans do too :)

WE DO NOT EXCLUDE ANYONE. Click £0 entry if you are one of the people in the community, who is struggling and that we are trying to help.
REVIEW
“Really pleased how far Bonny has come since joining this group. She used to bark at everything. Since coming to the rommies meets she now is happy being on the sang around other dogs without a sound. One of the dog walkers we bump into has also commented on how much she has come on.
I didn't do anything special with her but I think she realised the other dogs were not going to hurt her.
Thank you for such an amazing group plus the Dog Friendly Dorset Dogs Rommies/Heinz 57 group hosted by Jan Ryan.

Henry and I couldn’t recommend these play dates enough! It’s been a joy meeting up with lovely people and their wonderful dogs. Thank you for your hard work facilitating this friendly group and for allowing Henry to be an honorary member at his much loved Giant Breeds walk.

Hobbes
Here is Hobbes report on his play date experience from dad Stuart:
Today we had our first Sighthound play date.
Of course Hobbes had the best time ever, getting to run with other speedy hounds is his favourite thing!
Hobbes is a Lurcher, almost as fast as a greyhound but seemingly having much more endurance, he needs his exercise and can be a bit needy/annoying if he's doesn't get a good walk/run, so these playdates are great for him.
The pics are when we arrived at the beach and when we left. You can see the activity chart is high up, the higher the more active (IE running fast) as you can see, Hobbes was a busy bee!
So Hobbes got a good hour or so of flat out running, then we walked a bit on the beach. This left me with a nice and tired dog who was also rather cuddly, I'm sure they appreciate a fun day out!
It's also great for socialising with other dogs and it also gives the owner confidence in their dog to play off the lead.
