Seniors Social
2026-07-17
Senior dogs deserve their own special night out. Join us at Canine Cardio for Seniors Social, a calm-paced, on-leash meet-up for dogs 7 years and older.
This event is designed for older dogs who still enjoy getting out, sniffing around, seeing new faces, and spending time with their people, but may not want the energy of a high-drive or puppy-focused social event.
Seniors’ Social will be slower-paced and focused on comfort, gentle movement, positive exposure, and relaxed social time. It is a great fit for senior dogs who enjoy being around other dogs but prefer a calmer environment.
Whether your dog is still active or starting to slow down, this event gives them a chance to enjoy enrichment, connection, and a little adventure safely and thoughtfully.

It is a great opportunity for puppies to practice leash manners, build confidence, and learn that being around other dogs can be calm and positive.
Pet parents will also have the chance to meet other puppy owners who are going through the same training stages, questions, and puppy chaos.
