- Doggie Midway Tips, Tricks and Games for your dog sponsored by the Animal Humane Society’s Training School
The Bone Zone - This is a dog heaven, to be in a pen full of all kinds, sizes and flavored bones! The ultimate in “a kid in a candy store.” However, owners must encourage their dogs to pick up only a bone that is identified with a ribbon. Those are the winners!
Clean Up Your Toys! -Team up with your dog! Your dog’s challenge: to bring each toy to you, and for you to put the toys away in the toy box for your dog!
Rover Rally Doggy Obstacle Course - Not for the faint of heart! This pulse-pounding puppy course is filled with thrills and chills and is fun for any level of doggie abilities. Watch your furry friend weave and bob through the cones, hurdle the jump and finish with perfect poise to complete this Rover Rally!
Doggie Fine Art - Bring out the Picasso in your dog! Dogs will demonstrate their artistic talents and create original “paintings” using the beautifully framed “canvas” and the washable tempera paints. You can select which colors to use and then dip your dog’s paws in the paint and have the dog walk on the canvas until the “masterpiece” is complete. You can take home the fine art to display on the refrigerator or any other prominent place you choose. You’ll be proud of your budding new artists! Doggie fine art is proudly sponsored by the One Hope Network. Click here to learn more about the One Hope Network.
Red Light Green Light! -Just like the game you played when you were a kid, but this time you’re teaming up with your well-mannered dog! 2-4 pairs of dogs and owners will line up in the pen at the start line with dogs sitting, and the first owner/dog pair to make it over the “finish” line, wins!
Treat Treasure Hunt -Dogs find the treat and eat it!! What’s more rewarding to a dog than edible rewards! Dog treats will be at 5 different stations and your dog has 45 seconds to find and eat them all!
Wet Nose Wishing Well -An old-time favorite, our dog friends will be encouraged to get the tennis ball by dunking in a water-filled trough!
Pint Size Play: let your little one run and play in a secure 24-square foot fenced-in area. Sponsored by Fresh Air Training
