I'm looking to meet up with people in my neighborhood ( I live near SE 62nd and Woodstock) who like to jog with their dogs. I am flexible with what time and the frequency we go on the runs and flexible with distance (I usually do 3-4 miles every other day or so) I have a dog who is over excited and overstimulated by other dogs while walking or jogging. I'm hoping to create a meet up that will allow us to work on this with other dog human pairs by running together in a pack. I'd love to be joined …
