Hike at Griffith Park with BONUS! Loose Leash + Leash Reactivity Mini Workshop

  • Ferndell Trail - Griffith Park (map)

During the summer when it’s too hot to hold our weekend workshops in Acton, we will be changing up our hikes to include a free mini-workshop mid-hike, addressing common issues y’all experience in walks. The hike itself will begin a little earlier, at our normal meeting spot in the oval parking lot at 8am. We’ll hike down our usual route to the photo spot on Los Feliz, before heading across the street to our shaded water break area, where we’ll spend a hour addressing leash reactivity and loose leash walking. The mini workshop is open to anyone that needs it, and those that are not interested are welcome to finish up the hike while we workshop, but we hope you’ll stay to learn some new skills. Afterwards, we’ll finish up the second half of the hike while practicing those skills just learned!

As always, honorary corgs are welcome to join us. If your dog is reactive to dogs or people, this is a great space to safely work things out. We do suggest utilizing a muzzle if there is a chance your dog might harm another animal or human. If you need assistance with muzzle training prior to attending, don’t hesitate to reach out via email at info@qbsdr.org. If you or your dog are not used to be being around reactive dogs, please be mindful and give them space to work while we walk.

Regarding the trail itself, there is a slight incline at the start, but we take it slow so it’s perfect for seniors or those with mobility issues. If you or your corgi are unable to walk the incline, you can join the pack after the incline if you wait for us on the trail to the right of the stop sign that is shown below. If you’ve ever considered fostering or volunteering, our hikes are a great way to learn more in person about our doggos and what we need help with most. Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes and bring plenty of water for you and your doggo. See you on the trail!

**If a hike must be cancelled for any reason, we will announce it on our social media so make certain you are following us on FB & Instagram.**

See GPS pin below for our meetup spot. We park in the oval-shaped parking lot just below the red flag. To enter this parking lot, you will need to turn left when you stop at this sign shown below.
