🌿 Runyon Canyon Park — Hollywood Hills

Runyon Canyon is one of the most popular dog-friendly spots in all of LA and a favorite among Yorkie owners. Dogs can be off-leash on most of the trails, and the views of the city are stunning. Because Teacup Yorkies are so small, many owners carry their pups in a dog carrier bag for parts of the trail. The social atmosphere is wonderful — your Yorkie will meet dozens of other dogs and their owners.

🌊 Venice Beach Boardwalk

The Venice Beach Boardwalk is one of the most iconic dog-friendly destinations in LA. Dogs are welcome on the boardwalk and in many of the outdoor areas. Your Yorkie will attract endless attention from tourists and locals alike. Be mindful of the heat on the sand in summer months and bring water for your pup. Many beachfront restaurants on Abbot Kinney also welcome well-behaved dogs on their patios.

🏡 The Original Farmers Market — The Grove

The Original Farmers Market at The Grove in Los Angeles is an excellent dog-friendly outing. Dogs on leashes are welcome throughout the outdoor market and many vendors love when customers bring their well-behaved pups. A Teacup Yorkie in a carrier bag is perfectly at home here. The people-watching is great and there are plenty of shaded spots to rest.

🌳 Griffith Park — Los Feliz

Griffith Park is one of the largest urban parks in North America and offers miles of dog-friendly trails with beautiful views of the Hollywood sign and the city. Dogs must be on leash on most trails but the park is expansive and perfect for a morning outing with your Yorkie. The shaded paths are especially nice during warmer months when the LA sun is intense.

☕ Dog-Friendly Cafes in West LA and Santa Monica

West LA and Santa Monica are packed with dog-friendly cafes and restaurants with outdoor seating. Places like Menotti’s Coffee Stop in Venice, Blue Bottle Coffee on Abbot Kinney, and countless brunch spots along Montana Avenue in Santa Monica welcome leashed dogs on their patios. A Teacup Yorkie sitting on your lap or in a carrier bag is an instant conversation starter and crowd-pleaser everywhere you go.
