Dog Training Around Pacific Heights

Pacific Heights sits on a ridge with steep streets, beautiful parks, and busy shopping on Fillmore and California Streets. Training happens where your dog lives: Fillmore Street sidewalks, the Lyon Street Steps, and Alta Plaza and Lafayette Parks.

Alta Plaza Park

An official dog play area in the park's southeast corner on sloped grass, in a 12.9-acre park with terraced lawns and steps.

Lafayette Park

A hilltop park with city and bay views and its own official dog play area.

Lyon Street Steps

The steps connect Pacific Heights and Cow Hollow to the Presidio's Broadway Gate. A great workout and a great place to practice focus.

Coyote Awareness

City agencies remind owners to keep dogs leashed and pick up small dogs when coyotes are around, and residents have reported sightings near Lafayette Park.
