RosieH Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 in a shameless bit of research for something I'm doing at work, I'm wondering do people with dogs hang out together? obviously you guys go to the park - I've seen you throwing sticks and tennis balls with those brilliant throwing things - but do you hang out in pub beer gardens and appreciate each other's dogs? do you go on dog forums? or are you in fact not a dog nutter and just a normal person who happens to have a dog and read the usual media and go on this forum?trying to work out how best to talk to dog owners about their dogs (in a work capacity you understand). anyone who can help me out is very welcome to some dog treats for their faithful friend...

jumpinjackflash Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We don't really know that many people with dogs so we just hang around in Peckham Rye Park! Also my dog is a bit unsociable when it comes to other mutts - not agressive, but he is happier just sniffing trees and wandering about by himself. Unless he meets a Boxer, he likes Boxers for some reason!

RosieH Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 ace thanks - do you bother reading anything about dogs (I don't mean handbooks so much as websites, DogWorld magazine etc)? i think most people don't Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3380-dog-people-where-do-you-hang-out/#findComment-105544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosieH Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 that's where I am at the moment, having been unable to answer the question - "where do people with dogs get together?"

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 5-6pm on Goose Green there are always a little group of dog owners that hang out. You could wander that way and talk to them, they are v. friendly. My daughter once used them for a dental project she was doing at school and they all answered what I thought were some pretty impertinent questions.

ClareC Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Dont really "hang out" with other dog owners but tend to get to know the other dog walkers who walk in the same location and at the same times as you. Dulwich park early in the morning always very popular!How about trying local dog training / agility classes? That would definitely get you dog owners hanging out together!As for the other questions, I dont buy dog magazines etc. I did however buy a dog training book and a book on the particular breed prior to getting a dog to ensure that the breed was right for me and that I knew how to train a dog. I also went to puppy training classes, hunt traing and agility - predominently for obedience and to socialise my dogs.

Asset Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I want a dog but Mr Asset won't let me get one - actually I might just come home with one one day and he won't be able to do anything ha!

CamberwellOz Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Apparently all the dog owners can be seen frequenting the footpath with their dogs saying 'Poo on it Snuggles. Only poo on the footpath!'

boosboss Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I guess I'd fit into the dog nutter category.As well as the usual park walks, Myself and a few of the other PRP dog walkers also go on walks together elsewhere,woodland,open countryside, beaches etc and even go on holiday together (Pembrokshire holiday). We also get together locally without the dogs and usually end up talking mainly about them.I've organised a Christmas meal for the last three years for some of the Peckham Rye dog walkers, where we've had about 40 attendees (without the dogs) at Anatolia (now closed, so we'll be looking for a new venue this year).Some of us also go on rescue forums such asThe Refuge as well as going to dog shows/events around the country Crufts/Wag n Bone etc.We also subscribe to magazines such as Dogs TodayMost groups of dogwalkers are very approachable. :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3380-dog-people-where-do-you-hang-out/#findComment-105646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eileen Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi - did any of you go to the Goose Green Fun Dog Event last Saturday 24 May (organised by the Council's Community Wardens)? Friends of Goose Green had an information stall there. We would be interested in your reactions to the dog event, so feedback welcome. Most perhaps all seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. There seemed to be a lot of unmet need in dog behaviour information, and so quite a bit of potential to help people learn how to socialise their dogs better, as well as lots of other dog things that could be offered. What do you think?Eileen Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3380-dog-people-where-do-you-hang-out/#findComment-105821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
