Make a date with your dog and you just might wind up with a date of the human variety. Anywhere you take your dog, is a place you might be able to meet that someone special. Whether it’s at the dog park or the vet, you have a conversation starter right at the end of your leash.

One important thing before you read on is to make sure your dog is well-behaved and you can take `your furry friend anywhere. If not you can always brush up with some online dog training classes and practice at home.

1. Take a walk

Too simple? You would be surprised what taking a walk around your neighborhood with your dog can do. A simple walk to get lunch with your cute companion could lead to a pleasant conversation with a fellow dog lover who just happens to be single. Dogs are natural barrier breakers. So when that attractive man stops to ask you what kind of dog that is, instead of staying a few feet away, he’s probably going to get closer to pet your friend. Be open to the conversation and you never know where it could lead.

2. Go to the Dog Park Rocks

While some might view a dog park as intimidating, they are not only beneficial to training your dog to be social with other people and dogs alike, it’s a ready made environment for you to meet men with a common love – Dogs.

3. Play Ball

There’s nothing like a beautiful park on a spring day. Get your dog out for some exercise and play ball in a park. Make sure that your dog is either well trained off leash or there is a fenced in area you can secure yourself in and bring his favorite ball along and play fetch. It’s not only a great way to exercise yourself and your dog, but it’s a great way to meet men who like being active and love ball fetching pooches!

4. Game on!

While you can’t take your dog to a stadium or arena, you can bring them to an outdoor softball game or volleyball match. Seek out neighborhood teams and find their schedule. Once you find a time you can go, get your dog and find a nice, visible spot on the bleachers and seek out prospects. When your eye lands on someone, well then, let your dog do the talking for you!

5. The right kind of flea

Weaving up and down booths at an outdoor market can be a fun way to spend the day for you and your dog. Make sure ahead of time however, the flea market allows animals. If it doesn’t, window shopping can be just as much fun and can lead to just as many numbers!
