Hiking with Dogs (Outing)

You and other dog owners will embark on an afternoon hike through the hills. Along the way, you’ll learn trail etiquette, ways to avoid distractions, doggy social skills and basic dog safety. Only one dog (people- and dog-friendly) per person; please make sure your pup’s vaccinations are up to date. Bring a leash and your dog’s favorite treats as a training aid.

Advance registration is required. Call or visit any Los Angeles Area REI to sign up.

Waitlists

In order to keep our instruction personable, space on our classes and outings is limited. If you are interested in an activity that has filled, we would be happy to place you on a waitlist for that event. If space opens, we will contact the list in the order you signed up, but we are unable to hold that spot if we're unable to speak with you directly. Providing us with your best contact information increases your chances of joining us.
