The Fun Dog Show

Four Rings at all the Festivals! 

Forget stuffy suits and serious judging – this is all about celebrating our furry best friends and the hilarious things they do.  We pride ourselves in putting the FUN into dog show!  Enter your dog into the Fun Dog Show of your choice and let the men in their sparky jackets chat to you about why you think your doggo is a winner.  Let your dog do a little strut (only if they want to).

For the kids there's a category just for them - Best Junior Dog Owner.  All kids are welcome to enter any of the categories with their dog .  Bring them along to the Fun Dog Show rings to watch the action and applaud the winners.

Catch the Flag

This free activity for dogs is FUN to watch but is booked up FAST! 

Calling all canine couch potatoes! Is your pup tired of chasing squirrels from the window? ️Put your dog's name on the list as soon as you arrive at the festival to avoid disappointment.  Dogs chase a lure around the field, they LOVE to chase but there's no way to CATCH! It's like playing chase with the most irresistibly wiggly toy ever that's just too quick for them, every time.
