What we’re about
Hi! I'm Jessie and pictured above is my BFF Cappy.
Welcome any and and all canines and their *neurodivergent human companions and join me in creating a small, safe, no-pressure play group with supportive members. This doggy play group was created to encourage healthy lifestyles for our dogs and offer support to anyone who doesn't like to leave their cozy den.
If you feel you have hit a wall (or you relate to the experience) and are struggling to keep up with your BFF's activity needs, this is your group! We'll experiment with ND-friendl techniques, like "body doubling", so we can offer each other some gentle external pressure to provide for our dog's need for mental stimulation service dog training, active play and socialization.
In this group, body doubling might look like:
- As a first gentle step, just put on your shoes while you listen in to a group chat online
- Find a virtual partner and schedule a 10 min walk with them online
- Go to the dog park at the same time as our meeting, maybe say hi (or not...np)
- Share a message like “Got leash in hand, heading out with Cappy for coffee, who’s with me?”
Feel free to reach out online with any suggestions or questions. Everyone is welcome to come as you are! Together we can work towards giving our pets at least a once-daily opportunity to play, explore, and run. This will also help you with your own needs for exposure.
- Jessie & Cappy
