Building a Community for Dog Lovers
Social Dog Network connects dog owners for socialization, specialized training, and finding trusted local services.
Our mission is to build a supportive network for dog lovers.
Join to find activity partners and a verified directory to elevate your and your dog’s social and training life.
How it works
We offer a convenient platform for dog owners to connect and foster friendships while socializing their pets. Sign up now and start your network adventure!
Growing Together
A confident and well-balanced dog grows through real social experiences — from positive play and meeting new friends to learning how to communicate in everyday situations.
Especially for puppies, early socialization shapes how they will feel, behave, and interact for the rest of their lives. But finding the right partners isn’t always easy.
Social Dog Network changes that.
We connect you with nearby dog owners and trusted professionals who share your goals, so your dog can develop through consistent, positive interactions — not random meetups or endless searching.
Here, socialization becomes simpler, safer, and more meaningful.
Together, dogs gain confidence, owners build connections, and a real community grows — one shared experience at a time.

What Sets Us Apart
Social Dog Network doesn’t just help you find a place or make a connection—it helps you build genuine social skills and confidence for your dog, while connecting you with a community of dog lovers and professionals who share your passion. Not random contacts, not cluttered groups, not endless scrolling. Real matches. Real people. Real progress for their dog.
Social Dog Network isn’t just another directory or a generic social platform. It’s built by dog lovers, for dog lovers — a specialized network where your dog’s social development naturally connects with local people, meaningful activities, and verified professionals.
Whether you’re looking for a reliable walking buddy, a training partner, someone to practice scent work or protection work with, or trusted dog professionals, … We bring everything together in one place.
We don’t just help you find a spot on the map or message a stranger. We help your dog build confidence, social skills and recurring interactions with the right partners.
And to keep communication universal and effortless, the entire platform uses one shared language: English — making it easy for dog owners and professionals around the world to connect without barriers.

FAQ
It’s a well-known saying in the tech world: ‘If you’re not paying for the product, you ARE the product.’ Most social media platforms make money by tracking your behavior and selling your personal data to the highest bidder.
We chose a different path. By charging a small fee (only €14.95 for 3 years), we can afford top-tier servers and manual verification of members without ever having to sell your data. This ensures a spam-free, private, and high-quality environment for you and your dog. We work for you, not for advertisers.
The platform offers different powerful ways to explore dog owners, walks, events and services:
– the Static Map for straightforward browsing
– the Live Map for dynamic, interactive discovery.
Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose the right one:
Static Map (accessible via the Static Map button on top or by clicking on the respective buttons on the homepage): This is your go-to for a simple, reliable overview of all members of a specific category. However, the map is non-interactive—it won’t update or refresh if you pan or zoom around the map. Ideal for users who want a static snapshot without real-time adjustments, making it fast and lightweight for quick scans.
Live Map (accessible via the Live Map button on the homepage): For a more immersive experience, the Live Map lets you dive deeper with advanced filters and combinations (e.g., energy level + socialization needs + distance + availability). As you pan, zoom, or drag the map, the results on the left side update in real-time to show relevant pins and profiles. This makes it perfect for exploring dynamic matches, like finding the ideal walking buddy on the go.
In short, if you’re planning a casual browse, you can use the Static Map. For tailored, on-the-fly exploration, switch to the Live Map.🐕
We believe a safe and verified dog network should be accessible to everyone. Our mission is to build the world’s largest community of verified dog owners. By keeping the price low (€14.95), we ensure that cost is never a barrier to joining and securing your Verified Badge. This helps us create a safer, high-quality network for every dog and owner.
The Verified Badge proves that you and your dog are “the real deal.” This trust makes it easier to organize local meetups, join walks, and connect with other owners. By verifying our members, we eliminate spam and fake profiles, keeping the focus entirely on what matters: the dogs.
We are currently in our Founding Member phase. We want to reward the early adopters who are helping us grow from day one. As a thank you for your early trust, we are tripling the membership duration for all active members who join during our launch period—at no extra cost.
We believe in transparency. When your 3-year ‘Founding Member’ period ends, your account will not be automatically charged. We don’t like hidden subscriptions.
At that point, you can choose to renew your status for another period at the then-current community rate. If you choose not to renew, your profile remains, but you will lose your ‘Verified’ badge and access to premium community features.
For Pro Members: “Your Pro Membership is billed annually. If you choose to cancel, your business listing will be downgraded to a basic listing, and you will lose your priority ranking in the directory.”
As a Pro Member (groomers, trainers, vets, breeders, etc.), you get access to specialized features to showcase your business to thousands of local dog owners. At €49 per year, it’s a high-value marketing tool that often pays for itself with just one new client. Plus, your support helps us keep the network affordable for private dog owners worldwide.
