🏎️🐾 PAWS & PISTONS

Get ready for Paws & Pistons — a one-of-a-kind collaboration between the DTLA Dog Walking Club, FitPals Los Angeles, and the LA Auto Show, bringing together dogs, their humans, the Downtown LA community, and the excitement of the 119th LA Auto Show!

📅 Saturday, November 14, 2026
⏰ 9:00 AM–12:30 PM
📍 Gilbert Lindsay Plaza — Downtown Los Angeles

We’re taking over Gilbert Lindsay Plaza for a special morning built around dogs, community, training, local businesses, and fun.

The morning will kick off with a large-scale structured pack walk and training experience led by FitPals Los Angeles, bringing dogs and their humans together to work on calm pack walking, socialization, focus, engagement, and real-world training throughout Downtown LA.

After the walk, we’ll head back to Gilbert Lindsay Plaza for the Paws & Pistons Post-Walk Celebration, featuring pet and lifestyle vendors, community partners, activities, giveaways, photo opportunities, and more.
