This is a free group to allow owners of puppies and dogs in the South Bay of Los Angeles County to connect with each other for the purpose of forming positive "play dates" that allow appropriate socialization and fun for the canines. Join the group, and send an email out with the size, weight, and age of your dog, the city you live in, and an email address where people could respond to connect with you if they think their dog would be a good match. Message are moderated by Diane Bassett, a professional dog trainer on the Palos Verdes Peninsula (which keeps out spam messages). Please review the "play date etiquette" at http://dianes-dog-blog.blogspot.com/2010/03/dog-or-puppy-play-date-etiquette.html before posting. Welcome!
