Pack Hike - Griffith Park

Please note the earlier start time. Please read the description thoroughly.

Parking Location: We will be meeting at the Griffith Park Merry Go Round Lot 1 Parking Lot. Google Map Pin: 34.1315187, -118.2833016

Total Distance: approximately 6 miles

Trail/Trail Difficulty: Dirt path with some inclines and declines. Trail level is between easy - medium.

Distraction Level: Medium - High (expect lots of dogs, lots of other joggers, hikers, and bikers, and other foot traffic)

Please make sure to bring plenty of water and treats for your dog. And make sure you bring some sunscreen for yourself! We will be taking plenty of breaks on the trail!

The usual rules:

• Only 1 dog per person is allowed. Handler must be over 18 years of age

• Dogs must be on a 4'-6' leash at all times. Please, no retractable leashes

• This is a force free (least invasive, minimally aversive) group. Please no prong collars, choke collars, or e-collars. We recommend a martingale collar, front-clip harness, or head halter for heavy pullers.

• If your dog has a bite history, please positively condition them to wear a muzzle to this meetup. We recommend the baskerville ultra muzzle as it allows them to pant, drink water, and take treats.

• Your dog must be current on vaccinations and have an up-to-date license tag from your city.

• Due to the nature of this meetup, face to face introductions are not allowed. Always ask the dog owners before allowing your dogs to interact, and if in doubt, assume more space is always better.

• Please be mindful of the space needs of our less social furry friends. Maintain a min 6 foot distance with unfamiliar dogs.
