When in doubt if a restaurant, store, shopping center, etc. is dog-friendly or not,
you can either give them a call and ask before you go, or pop your head in the door
and ask, "Are you dog-friendly?" Nine out of ten times you'll be pleasantly
surprised by the answer, and the worst that can happen is they say no... And remember,
even if you ca't get Pookie in, it's still terrific to get him out and about to expose
him to different sights, sounds, smells and surfaces while the two of you sit and watch
the world go by! Remember to always bring some tasty treats for your dog, some water
and a portable bowl, your dog's favorite toy and of course, a poop baggie or two! Try
practicing the behaviors your dog is best at (like sit, down or Freeze Frame) while on
your adventure.
If people want to, and your dog seems comfortable with it, have them offer him treats
while he sits nicely. It's a fun, Dog Meets World adventure... and the best part is, your
dog will never know he's actually in training in the process! Enjoy!
Note: The locations on our list were dog-friendly at the time of printing. However,

BEVERLY GARDENS PARK
Wilshire Blvd. to Doheny Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-285-2537
BROWN'S CANYON WASH HIKE
Runs from Devonshire to Rinaldi in Chatsworth.
Offers a long stretch of straight, level walking with plenty to see & sniff for dogs.
A bridle path for horses runs along the opposite side of the wash. Along the trail you will
have to cross Chatsworth Street and Variel. This is an easy hike, but it goes for miles. The
scenery gets better north of Chatsworth Street. If you prefer a shorter hike, start from
there instead of Devonshire Street. Across Variel the scenery gets more rural with many
horse ranches along the wash & you can hear neighborhood chickens & sometimes see
hawks from the nearby hills. The trail ends at Rinaldi. You can circle around & head
back along the bridle trail but usually there are horseback riders on the bridle path at
some point, so don't take your dog there if they like to bark/chase horses. City leash &
clean up laws apply here & the trial is always open. Hiking shoes are not necessary but
it does get rather hot on sunny days, so be sure you & Rover are protected.
CAR WASHES:
Most car washes will allow dogs. Here are a few that we frequent:
* Blue Wave Car Wash on Federal and Santa Monica Blvd. in west LA
* Sepulveda Hand Wash on Sepulveda in West LA (dogs allowed in the gift store too!)
* Robertson Car Wash on Robertson Blvd. in LA
* Fashion Square Car Wash on Woodman at Riverside in Sherman Oaks.
EMMA WOOD STATE BEACH
Hwy 101, Ventura, 805-968-1033
This is one of the few state beaches that allow dogs. Dogs must be on leash. The beach
offers a view of Anacapa Island and occasionally dolphins. It is located off Hwy 101, 2
miles west (north) of Ventura.
FRYMAN CANYON
You can take Laurel Canyon south of Ventura Blvd. about 1.5 miles & then turn onto
Fryman. (It only goes one direction off of Laurel Canyon). After turning onto Fryman
make an immediate right. You will see a sign that says Wilacre Park & there is a large
parking lot with free parking. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Parkland runs the
entire area of the trail & Wilacre Park. It's a moderately challenging hike with a nice
wide trail & million dollar views. City leash & clean up laws apply here.
GRIFFITH PARK SOUTHERN RAILROAD
4400 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, 323-664-6788
Does your pup want to try a train ride? This small train ride (serving the public since
1948) is popular with kids, but your dog will love it too. The seating area is kind of small
and larger dogs will need to sit or stand on the floor by your feet. But don't worry, it's a
pretty short ride which goes about 1 mile in distance. It'll give your pup a chance to decide
if he/she is made for the rails. It's located in Griffith Park, which also has several nice
hikes that of course allow dogs. Hungry? There is a small snack stand located nearby with many
picnic tables. While you eat lunch, you can watch the kids ride the rental ponies. Griffith
Park is pretty large, so to find the train ride, take Los Feliz Blvd. (near Hwy 5) to Crystal
Springs Drive/Griffith Park Drive. Head north on Crystal Springs and the train ride will be on
your right.
HOLLYWOOD STAR'S HOMES
Hollywood Star's Homes Self-Guided Walking Tour, Beverly Hills
Want to check out the Star's homes in Beverly Hills with your dog? How about a self-guided
walking tour of the Star's homes? All you need is a map & a good starting point. Maps can be
purchased at many of the tourist shops on Hollywood Blvd. A good place to begin is at the Will
Rogers Memorial Park in Beverly Hills (between Sunset Blvd, Beverly Dr & Canon Drive). It's a
small park but still a good place for both of you to stretch your legs before beginning the walk.
You can certainly plot out your own tour, but we have a few samples tours that will help you get
started. TOUR 1 (approx. 1 mile): From the park & Canon Street, turn left (heading west)
onto Sunset Blvd. Turn right on Roxbury. Cross Benedict Canyon Rd. and the road becomes Hartford Way.
Take Hartford Way back to the park. TOUR 2 (approx. 3 miles): From the park, head north on
Beverly Drive and cross Sunset Blvd. Turn right on Rexford Drive. Turn right on Lomitas Ave. &
then left onto Crescent Drive. Make a right at Elevado Ave, walk for about 5 blocks & turn right
onto Bedford Dr. Then turn left on Lomitas Ave., right on Whittier Dr. & left on Greeway. Then
turn right on Sunset Blvd & head back to the park.
HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME
6100-6900 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, 323-469-8311
Take Hwy 101 North past Sunset Blvd. Take the next exit which is Hollywood Blvd & turn left (west).
The Hollywood Stars are located on 6100-6900 Hollywood Blvd. between Gower Street & Sycamore Avenue.
This is the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood Blvd. where you'll find about 10-15 blocks of
Hollywood stars placed in the sidewalks. Don't forget to look at the famous Footprints located at the
Mann's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd between Orange Drive & Orchid Ave. Want to see an actor or
actress receive their honorary Star? This takes place throughout the year in front of the Hollywood Galaxy
General Cinemas on Hollywood Blvd. It may be too crowded for your pup to stand directly in front of the
Cinemas, but you can see plenty from across the street. Be prepared for lots of crowds yelling & cheering,
as this will happen when the actor/actress arrives. To find out the schedule of when the next actor/actress
will receive their star, look at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce website at
http://www.hollywoodcoc.org or call 323-469-8311.
LEO CARRILLO STATE BEACH
Hwy 1 (30 miles North of Santa Monica), Malibu, 818-880-0350
Dogs are allowed on a maximum 6-foot leash when accompanied by a person capable of controlling the dog on all
beach WEST (up coast) of lifeguard tower 3 at Leo Carrillo State Park, Staircase Beach, County Line Beach, and
all Beaches within Point Mugu State Park. Dogs are NOT allowed EAST of lifeguard tower 3 at Leo Carrillo State Beach
at any time. And please note that dogs are not allowed in the tide pools at Leo Carrillo; there should be signs posted.
A small general store is located on the mountainside of the freeway. Here you can grab some snacks and other items.
The park is located on Hwy 1, approximately 30 miles northwest of Santa Monica.
LIMEKILN CANYON PARK
Located on Rinaldi Street just east of Corbin Avenue in Granada Hills. From the 118 Freeway, go north on Tampa Avenue.
Turn left on Rinaldi Street and park at the entrance about half a block short of Corbin Avenue. This is a gem of a hike
hidden in an obscure canyon in Granada Hills. This is an easy hike with a nice wide trail to follow and shade along the
way, complete with tall pines & a running creek. The trail is easy & less than a mile, but there is so much to
see it feels longer. The creek has enough water babbling through to cool hot paws but bring water for them to drink, as
it's never a good idea to trust creek water. The park is open from sunrise to sunset & leash law applies. If you prefer
solitude on your hike, go on a weekday rather than the weekend.
LOS ENCINOS STATE HISTORIC PARK
16756 Moorpark Street, Encino, 818-784-4849
This park covers 5 acres and includes several historic buildings. The park contains exhibits on early California ranch life.
The springs at this site attracted Native Americans for centuries. The spot later became a stagecoach stopover & a Basque
sheepherder's home before construction of the rancho buildings. While dogs are not allowed inside the buildings, they are
allowed to walk (leashed) on the grounds. The park is closed on Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week, the park is open from
10am-5pm.
NEIGHBORHOOD GARDENERS HIKE along the LA River
Located between Fulton Avenue & Coldwater Canyon Ave. in Sherman Oaks just north of Ventura Boulevard and south of the 101
Freeway. Lovely neighborhood flower gardens that can be viewed from either side of the river grace this stretch of wide level trails.
This is an easy hike at any pace with no gates to pass through it is never closed to the public. No hiking boots are necessary &
no sharp rocks or stickers to hurt dog paws. Dogs need to be on a leash & the "Neighborhood Gardeners" have graciously
provided a supply of plastic bags & trashcans along with a posted letter to encourage people to pick up after their dogs.
OCEAN FRONT WALK
S. Venice Blvd & Pacific Ave., Santa Monica
Metered parking is available all along Pacific Ave & there always seems to be plenty during the week especially. The walk is really
nice & flat with a view of the beach the entire way. I like to start at Venice Blvd. & walk all the way down to the Santa Monica
Pier.
O'MELVENY PARK
Orozco Street, Granada Hills
This 600+ acre park has a nice variety of single track and fire road hiking trails. The park is popular with bird watchers, mountain bikers,
hikers and leashed dogs. The best way to get there is from Hwy 118. Take the Balboa Blvd. exit & head north. Go about 1.5 to 2 miles &
turn left onto Orozco. Take this road to the park.
SULLIVAN CANYON TRAIL
Brentwood -- West Side / Santa Monica Mountains
This is a short, easy to moderate hike along a paved road traversing into winding dirt roads. Street parking in residential area is available &
usage of the trail is free. From the 405 freeways northbound, exit Sunset Blvd. and go west (left) towards Brentwood. Turn right on Capri (?); go up
the hill & park at the end of the street (residential area). Trail starts along the fire road.
THE COMEDY STORE
8433 W. Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles
This is a bar that hosts comedians every night at 7pm. There is no formal entertainment outside, but some of the comedians will warm up on the patio
before going on stage inside. And you can always be assured of enjoying a cocktail here while you watch folks go by on Sunset Blvd. This place is very
dog friendly. They have been known to occasionally host non-profit dog adoptions during the day on their patio.
VAN NUYS/SHERMAN OAKS PARK
14201 Huston St., Sherman Oaks, 818-783-5121
F Hwy 101, take the Van Nuys exit & head north.
This park has an approximate 1.5 mile walking & jogging path that winds through & around the sports fields. There are also many picnic tables near
the Recreation Center.
WILL ROGERS STATE HISTORIC PARK
1501 Will Rogers State Park Rd., Pacific Palisades, 310-454-8212
This park was Will Roger's personal home & ranch. He was famous for his horse & rope tricks & performed on Broadway & then moved on to Hollywood
to star in many movies. The ranch was made into a state historic park in 1944 after his death & it reflects Will Rogers avid horsemanship. On the ranch there
is a large polo field, which is the only outdoor polo field in Los Angeles County and the only field that is regulation size. The ranch buildings & grounds
have been maintained to show how the Rogers' family lived back in the late 1920's & 1930's. Leashed dogs are allowed on the property, in the horse barn, &
on the Inspiration Point Trail. They are not allowed inside the ranch house & dogs, along with people, should not touch the horses. The ranch staff enforces
the leash law & will fine violators $82. The entrance fee to the park is $6 per car & $1 per dog.
This list is a constant work-in-progress. If you have a favorite dog friendly spot
or happen to discover one during your outings, please be sure to let us know!
