Good to know

• Los Angeles is warm and sunny most of the year, and summer pavement heats up fast, so early-morning and evening walks are the safest bet. Outside designated dog parks, dogs need to be leashed in public spaces.
• Planning the day's walk? See how long to walk your dog, check if it's too hot.
