Dog Dad Club on K9
What it is

Making friends as a grown man is hard, and most of the options feel like work. Run clubs, gym clubs, networking, it all comes with a goal attached. The Dog Dad Club does not. You already do the walks. You already stand at the park while your dog does laps. This is just the people who are doing the same thing, at the same time, a few streets over.

No icebreakers, no sign-up sheet, no pressure. Show up with your dog, meet a few guys whose dogs get along with yours, and see where it goes. Some weeks it's a long walk and a coffee. Some weeks it's a beer after. That's the whole thing.

How it works

Show up. Walk. Make friends.

1

Find your city's club

Join the Dog Dad Club for your area and see who's around and what's coming up.

2

Show up to a walk

RSVP to a park hang or a group walk near you, or start one when you're free. Your dog does the introductions.

3

Keep the ones that stick

Meet the regulars, swap numbers, and build the kind of easy friendship that comes from seeing the same faces every week.
