Dogs Walk You began as an idea in 2020 during the height of the Pandemic when meet with others required meeting outside. At a time when many people felt isolated and afraid, Dogs Walk You came into being, drawing together dogs and the people who love them for get togethers outdoors to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and companionship. 

In 2023, Dogs Walk You had its first community event, with a small group of people and dogs meeting in Long Beach, CA to go for a dog-led walk in commemoration of May's Mental Health Awareness Month.

Dogs Walk You grew from a group of dog lovers and their canine companions into the present day grassroots organization that promotes joy, wellness and connection through small and large group walks led by dogs.
