Americans spent over $53 billion on their pets in 2012, and analysts predict they will spend even more in 2013. Many people view their pets as a member of the family, so owners want fun events that include their dog. With owners’ increasing willingness to spend money on their four-legged friends, there is a rising demand for fun dog activities in San Francisco. Activities that promote socialization and stimulation are in high demand.
