South Bay Urban Aussies and Friends is a meetup of Australian Shepherds (and other active dogs) and their owners. Our goal is to provide opportunities for play (i.e. tire ‘em out!), training and socialization for the dogs as well as a social environment for owners to share their tips, stories, training techniques, etc. for raising great dogs. Activities we coordinate are: hikes, trips to local dog parks, social outings to wineries and restaurants, dog-related community service opportunities, “wo …

Hike with Your Dog South Bay and Peninsula is a fun and social group of people and their dogs who love to hike, be outdoors and meet new friends. All friendly dogs and people are welcome! Group hikes are generally between 2 - 5 miles and vary from easy to moderate strenuous levels. We try to provide as many opportunities for dog to dog socialization as possible, including hiking in areas that allow for off leash play. Suggestions for hiking locations, times and opportunities are encouraged! As p …

When we started several years ago, our goal was to explore Silicon Valley (aka "The Valley of Heart's Delight"), in part to show people there was more to the Bay Area than San Francisco.  Now we've visited just about every local museum from Gilroy to Santa Cruz to Millbrae, so we tend to journey farther afield for cultural/historical walks and day trips.  Our events include mundane after-work "well, it's better than just sitting on the couch" walks in local neighborhoods as well as more ambitiou …

I love dogs! Actually, I love cats, too. In fact, I love animals. Dogs are just so easy to love, but they need special attention and some dogs need more activity than we can give them. I'd like to offer a venue for people to spend time with their furry friends and meet some others people, too. Hiking with our dogs benefits all of us. We'll try to invite a trainer now and then, and make it fun! See you on the trail. Tail wags and belly rubs, Debbie Barnett

Run for fun - in rain or sun - on dirt, rocks, mud, grass or sand. Run with us, alone, for a cause or for yourself. Run barefoot, in flip flops, or high-tech trainers.  Run in your PJs, birthday suit, or latest, greatest gear.  Run at night under a full moon or under the mid-day blazing sun.  Run without rules or plans.  Run because you want to- not because you have to. Our Meet ups feature non-competitive, set-your-own-pace trail runs through county parks, often combined with group activities …

This is a dog friendly group for women in Palo Alto who would like to walk early weekday mornings before work and support each other to lose weight. We will do easy to moderate 2-3 mile walks at a steady pace and go faster when the group gets more fit and feels ready. I have found that having walking partners and a support group is very helpful to establish getting up and out and establish a routine. The vision for this group is to walk 3-4 times a week between 7:00-8:00 a.m. in the South Palo A …

For years I was a solo backpacker who frequently ventured solo into less frequented areas. Recently I experienced a scare while doing so which made me realize how vulnerable a solo hiker off trail is. I concluded that for safety and companionship where any portion of the route is off established trails, I would prefer to hike with other independent-style backpackers. Those meetups of our group where I am part of the group will provide the partners I seek. My idea of a small group is myself, my d …

Doing it together means greater success. You've probably already experienced that feeling of being the last one to cross the finish line because your weig …
