The dog finally gets to sniff everyone out, and you get to see if they’re a good match with you and your dog. Get to know one another, and interact with intention. Start a casual conversation that allows you to vet your doggy neighbor and see if they are the kind of people you and your dog would want to hang with. Maybe even play a few games of catch or tug a rope to see how they interact with your dog.
The location of the meetup is decided by you and your neighbor. We think the best places to meet are places that are dog friendly, convenient, and public. This can be a local park or a place around your neighborhood where you normally take your dog on a walk.
