This week we’re joined by Keef Yap whose initiative YapYap.dog is taking meet up groups to new levels in London. Inspired by her own MaltiPoo called Buttons, Keef wanted to reach out to fellow dog moms after the pandemic to get together in real life. Her idea to set up meet up groups, and build a dedicated community of like minded dog moms.  Teaming up with Yumove - the joint care supplements brand - to offer support from a health perspective, the puppy parties also focus on training and proactive engagement with your dog. Initially launched for Maltipoos, Cavapoos and Cockapoos, Keef is looking to expand her breeds groups in 2024 and introduce group meet ups for all rescue dogs to join in and take centre stage. We talk about how important it is to socialise and get out and about with your dog, to help train a pup that’s happy and confident to enjoy metropolitan life. We also talk about the Big Woof which Keef organised in the summer at the new impressive Kings Cross area - known as Coal Drops Yard where hundreds of dogs and their owners benefited from dog friendly shopping opportunities all thanks to YapYap.dog. We’re very excited to announce the next big dogcentric party which is at St John’s Church near Hyde Park on December 16th which is set to a dogtastic winter wonderland for dogs with Secret Santa, a grotto, competitions and lots of prizes to be won!
