Salem Large Dog Playgroups! 🐕

I created this group to connect with responsible dog owners who are looking for structured, safe, and positive playdates. My own dog, Katana, is a 9-year-old Cane Corso mix who is dog-selective but well-socialized. She does best with stable, respectful dogs over 50 pounds and enjoys one-on-one or small group interactions rather than chaotic dog parks.

Ive worked professionally with over 100 dogs at an animal sanctuary for nearly two years. Through my work I’ve gained extensive experience reading canine body language, managing playgroups, safely introducing dogs, and understanding different play styles and behaviors.

My goal is to build a community where owners can meet, socialize their dogs responsibly, go on walks, share training experiences, and create positive, controlled environments where both dogs and people can have fun safely. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a playdate, or a supportive community of dedicated dog owners, you’re welcome here!
