| Disorganization is a pet peeve. My poor Harley, I've been promising him for like 4 weekends in a row that he'll get to go on this dog walk that a local Yorkie group organizes. And they keep cancelling! ugh. And its not even raining out today. Poor Harley doesn't come in much contact with other dogs, unless we're at these groups, and this summer they were super consistent. Any tips on how to round up more doggie friends. (I'm not financially able to take him to classes yet, just had a big vet bill and just moved). He is fully socialized, so it's not an issue of training, he is lovely around other dogs (and has even taught his "cousin" a boarder collie new manners), its just I worry that he gets lonely. I was sooo looking forward to it too. It just seems like there are very few people around here who are in love with their pups the way we are here on YT, either that or they have 2 or 3 dogs so they have constant contact with each other. I mention getting together and socializing with like every dog person I meet, and no one wants to. It's just disappointing. One of the reasons I bought my baby was to help me (an introvert) make more friends and become outgoing. Oh well. I guess he and I will go on a training walk by ourselves.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Awww...Poor Harley. I hope he isn't too disappointed. Maybe he can make a non-yorkie friend in your neighborhood who will be more available for playdates.

| Do you have a dog park close by? We have two close by with separate sections for small dogs and my kiddos always like to meet some doggies their own size there. They actually prefer it to organized "walk" events- because they get to run and play and don't have to "walk nicely", stay close, etc. You can always just take an hour and walk around Petsmart and meet some doggies there- although that can be hit or miss- sometimes it is packed with dogs, other times there are none. |

| The dog park is a good suggestion, we go also or there is a huge park in my city with a lot of paved trails that we take walks on also. We always seem to run into another little dog to walk with.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Sundays I've found is a good day to meet pets, particularly in large pet stores. Also do a google search, see if there are other groups, that may either include dogs, or be actually for dogs. Do you have a hiking association in Nova Scotia, cause many let dogs come on the walks. Also look at training places, sometimes once a months or so, they may have a small dog meet-up which is often "free".
