The Networking Blog

As said here before, networking happens everywhere. As a proud owner of a new dog, I found a  community I wasn’t aware of at all. Except for the fun of having a dog, and especially a young and energetic one, in the past few weeks I met a lot of people with dogs, and some great connections.

There is always an exception, dogs who prefer different things to do with their leisure time-

Just like any network, dog owners have their unique characteristics and common interests (dogs…), and just like any other network, the people in it, are different from one another and have different interests,views and professional backgrounds beside being dog owners. Due to the fact that most dogs like to play and run, many dog owners seek for playing grounds that are safe, and with other friendly dogs around.  These two parameters bring dog owners close to one another, and almost naturally meet in places such as parks, large school yards, and any other place which is big enough for the dogs to run in, and far enough from traffic.

I joined a small group of 5 people, who meet up almost every night at a high school near home. The dogs run and play for about  30 minutes, which is fun to watch and healthy for the dogs. While the dogs socialize between themselves, we, the two legged, have enough time to talk and network. One of the biggest benefits is, you get to meet people you probably would not have met otherwise. This makes it a great way to grow your network of connections – personal and business.

Except for the additional responsibility, having a dog, is fun, enjoyable and can grow your network.

And one last update, here is how to find a dog…
