The K9 Clubs

Making friends, one walk at a time.

The K9 Clubs are local groups for dog people. Dog dads, dog moms and everyone in between, meeting up around the dogs they love. Find yours and come for a walk.

Free in any browser. iPhone app now in beta.

Three clubs, one idea

Find the club that fits you.

Same idea across all three: show up with your dog, meet a few people nearby, keep the ones that stick.

Why clubs

Making friends as an adult is hard, and most of the usual options feel like work. Having a dog is the opposite. You're already outside twice a day, already at the same parks, already surrounded by people doing the exact same thing. The clubs just turn that into actual friendships instead of polite nods on the sidewalk.

No icebreakers and no commitment. Your dog does the introductions, and you take it from there. Some weeks it's a long walk and a coffee. Some weeks it's a beer after. That's the whole thing.
