So sorry you don't have a dog playgroup. You could think about starting one on your own if you are interested - depending on the demand and the size of your town. We go for pack walks a lot and the organizer puts on indoor playgroups during our cold winters. It is fabulous!!! We feel lucky and you know, Rocky is SO well adjusted and happy. I think it is because of the time we took in socializing him to people, dogs and everything we could. He loves children, big dogs, small dogs, older people ... as long as they are friendly his tail is wagging!
