We are the 'parents' of two large dogs who love to explore off-leash. They are very social; so are we. Oakland County has the wonderful Orion Oaks Dog Park, but sometimes that's too far to go for a relaxing walk or a rowdy play session.
So, we formed this group to get other dogs to come and play! We offer monthly dog play dates in our very large, fully fenced back yard. We welcome all breeds, all sizes of friendly, socialized dogs. We will happily share our favorite places to walk the dogs off leash, and usually have an off leash group walk monthly as well as our playdate.
Our group is easy to join, the 'by approval' restriction is on so that our address is not posted openly on the internet. Only members have access to the address.
The Troy All DogsPlay Group Meetups are held the second Saturday of the month from 2-5pm.
Pet Therapy at Town Village is the 4th Saturday of the month at 1pm for an hour.
Offleash Walks are usually announced monthly.
Be sure to look at the 'Upcoming Meeting List' found below 'Recent Meetings' on the Welcome page for a complete list.
We are a Rain or Shine kind of group. We usually have treats for the humans and the dogs at our gatherings, but you are always welcome to bring more balls or other items to play with, and anything you want to share with the humans!
WHO SHOULD JOIN? Anyone who loves to have fun with dogs! Anyone whose dog needs a romping play session or an opportunity to be adored. We almost guarantee long naps after our play dates....
WHAT SHOULD I BRING? Your dog, a leash for the getting to & from the car & to have on hand. Balls, throwing thingies if your dog likes them. If you're bringing human or dog treats, please mention it in your RSVP. Monetary donations for treats are graciously accepted, but there is no set fee for our playgroup.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KNOW? We have a great time! You are welcome to throw balls, sit and pet the dogs, and have conversations with other dog parents. Everyone is responsible for their dog's behavior [and poop scooping]. We recommend no children under age 8 attend the open playdates.
Our members have posted to our message board with other playdate & training opportunities that you may join in. We sometimes separate the itty-bitty dogs and shy puppies from the big rowdy dogs, if we see a need. It's not a problem.
Standard dog park rules apply: your dogs must be up to date on all shots. This is the honor system; we believe if you care enough about your dog to join one of these groups, you are surely protecting their health. Females dogs in heat should not attend playdates. Aggressive behavior must be stopped immediately.
