Hike at Griffith Park - Ferndell Trail (easy - great for seniors!)
***PLEASE NOTE START TIME WILL BE 8AM DUE TO THE HEAT***
Come meet us at Griffith Park for a nice, easy 2 mile pack walk! Honorary corgis (aka non-corgis) and humans with no doggos are welcome to join us as well. If you have a dog-reactive or human-reactive dog and would like a safe space to practice walking with a pack, this is the perfect opportunity. We do suggest utilizing a muzzle if there is a chance your dog might harm another animal or human. If you need assistance with muzzle training prior to attending, don’t hesitate to reach out via email at info@qbsdr.org. If you or your dog are not used to be being around reactive dogs, please be mindful and give them space to work while we walk.
Meet us in the middle of the oval parking lot at 8am. We will wait a few minutes for everyone to park and get settled before heading to the trail head around 8:15 am. Regarding the trail itself, there is a slight incline at the start, but we take it slow so it’s perfect for seniors or those with mobility issues. If you or your corgi are unable to walk the incline, you can join the pack after the incline if you wait for us on the trail to the right of stop sign that is shown below.
If you’ve ever considered fostering or volunteering, our hikes are a great way to learn more in person about our doggos and what we need help with most.
Bring comfy shoes and water for you and your doggo. See you on the trail!
**If a hike must be cancelled for any reason, we will announce it on our social media so make certain you are following us on FB & Instagram.**
See GPS pin below for our meetup spot. We park in the oval-shaped parking lot just below the red flag. To enter this parking lot, you will need to turn left when you stop at this sign shown below.

Huntington Beach Central Park EAST - Pack Walk (EASY)
In an effort to cover more parts of LA/OC, we are trying another new place to pack walk! This time we will meet up to walk around Talbert Lake near the Huntington Beach Central Library!

Community Ranch Project Day
It’s FOXTAIL SEASON! Our main focus for the next few ranch days will be eradicating these dangerous plants from the premises and prepping the yards for fire season.
Our dogs have varying levels of reactivity, bite histories, and sensitivities to human touch. To ensure safety, all dogs will be muzzled for the duration of the community day. If interested in joining us, please fill out a volunteer application and RSVP by email to volunteer@qbsdr.org.
Hike at Griffith Park - Ferndell Trail (easy - great for seniors!)
Come meet us at Griffith Park for a nice, easy 2 mile pack walk! Honorary corgis (aka non-corgis) and humans with no doggos are welcome to join us as well. If you have a dog-reactive or human-reactive dog and would like a safe space to practice walking with a pack, this is the perfect opportunity. We do suggest utilizing a muzzle if there is a chance your dog might harm another animal or human. If you need assistance with muzzle training prior to attending, don’t hesitate to reach out via email at info@qbsdr.org. If you or your dog are not used to be being around reactive dogs, please be mindful and give them space to work while we walk.
Meet us in the middle of the oval parking lot at 9am. We will wait a few minutes for everyone to park and get settled before heading to the trail head around 9:15 am. Regarding the trail itself, there is a slight incline at the start, but we take it slow so it’s perfect for seniors or those with mobility issues. If you or your corgi are unable to walk the incline, you can join the pack after the incline if you wait for us on the trail to the right of stop sign that is shown below.
If you’ve ever considered fostering or volunteering, our hikes are a great way to learn more in person about our doggos and what we need help with most.
Bring comfy shoes and water for you and your doggo. See you on the trail!
**If a hike must be cancelled for any reason, we will announce it on our social media so make certain you are following us on FB & Instagram.**

Hike - From the Greek to the Cedar Grove
We will be meeting at the Vermont Canyon Play Area near the Greek Theatre. There is a small parking lot there by the play area, but if that’s full you’ll likely be able to park in the lots just north of the Greek Theatre. From there we will make our way up Commonwealth to work our way over to the lovely Cedar Grove. If the group is feeling up to it, we can even continue on to the Helipad viewpoint that is just a quick hike past the Cedar Grove. Distance will likely be between 2.25-2.5 miles and we anticipate it taking about 2 hours.
As always, honorary corgis and hoomans with no doggos are welcome to join us! Can’t wait to see y’all on the trail!

SoCal 5 Rules and Boundaries Weekend Workshop - RSVP Required
Are you experiencing behavioral issues or considering surrendering your corgi? QBSDR is making the transition from INTERVENTION to PREVENTION by providing a safe environment to gain tools, knowledge, and information in order to set up both you and your doggo for success! QBSDR’s philosophy and methodology is relationship-based balanced training to cultivate a healthy relationship of TRUST and RESPECT between you and your dog. At the end of this workshop, we hope that you feel empowered and ready to work through the issues you are experiencing to keep your beloved corgi.
During the hands-on, two-day workshop (Saturday + Sunday, 9am-5pm, includes break for lunch) you and your corgi will learn the Fundamental 5 Rules and Boundaries that we implement for every single dog that comes through our rescue. Corgis are a working breed and need structure in their lives to thrive. Consistency is key so we do recommend all members in the household attend.
1) Doorway boundaries (polite wait at door)
2) Crate training
3) Polite wait for food
4) Structured, loose-leash walk
5) Reinforce calm behavior (this will also include the “place” command)
If your dog is showing signs of dog or human aggression, we ask that you take the time to muzzle train prior to attending to keep everyone safe. We suggest a Baskerville Ultra basket muzzle (size 2 for standard/smaller corgis, size 3 for larger corgis). This muzzle is readily available at most pet stores and online. We are happy to talk you through the muzzle-training process, just reach out and we’ll set up a time for a call.
DAYS + TIME: Saturday + Sunday, 9am - 5pm (one hour for lunch)
LOCATION: QBSDR facility in Acton, CA (address will be provided upon RSVP)
SUGGESTED MINIMUM DONATION: $500 per household (check, PayPal, Venmo, website donation)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: We require proof your dog is up to date on vaccinations (specifically rabies). To further keep all parties safe, if you are feeling ill or were recently exposed to Covid, please test prior to attending.
If you are interested in attending a this workshop, please email info@qbsdr.org for more information.

Pack Walk South Coast Botanic Garden for the Trolls Exhibit
On the last Sunday of each month, South Coast Botanic Garden opens up their doors for “Dog Walking Hours.” This pack walk will be special in that the SCBG is also hosting 12 of the Thomas Dambo’s TROLLS. These TROLLS are larger than life and crafted entirely from reclaimed wood. The playful sculptures are joy to view and will absolutely provide some wonderful photo ops for you and your pups! Creative and whimsical hooman and doggo costumes are encouraged. :)
The SCBG paths are paved and mostly stroller friendly, but there are some inclines and declines that might be considered “moderate” for a casual hikers. So be certain to bring snacks and hydration for you and your pup along with some sturdy walking shoes!
PLEASE NOTE: Tickets for Dog Walking Hours are a separate, timed entry ticket from the every day ticket and normally don’t go on sale until the start of the month. You will be required to purchase a ticket for both you and your dog(s).
