This event is more than a dog show. It is an opportunity to have a fun day out for you, your families and of course your dog!!!

A Family Fun Day Out!

Bring your dog and enjoy the fun atmosphere and competitions ( all dogs must be on a lead)!

While giving back to the community at the same time through raising money for Oman Diabetes Association and Omani Paws. We like to think of it as “Dogs giving back”.
The competitions are all about having fun and building better relationships with your dog through playing games and competing together as a team. Taking into account that the competitions should be taken with fun in mind. Our aim is by the end you leave with smile!

This event serves dual purposes, first to raise money for local charities and secondly to provide awareness and educate about dogs and their capabilities and give people an opportunity to socialize and learn how to get the very best out of their dog through letting go, enjoying and helping others at the same time.

If you bring your dog you can enter the fun games and competitions or choose just to bring your pup along to socialize; whether you choose to enter one of the events or not you can still enter for Find the Treat, Pawcasso and more.

Rules & Regulations

The Fast and the Furriest

Dress up Relay – A fun jumping game! Each dog will jump over 3 small jumps and return to their handler. Each time the dog returns the handler must place an article of clothing on the dog and jump again, until all clothing is gone. The dog that finishes first with the most amount of clothes on wins. Handlers are allowed to have their dogs on a lead and run their dogs over the jumps. All jumps will be in accordance to the dog’s height. Agility Challenge – Agility with a twist. 2 teams will race against each other. The team who finishes fastest with the least number of faults is the winner Rocket Recall – This competition is timed. The dog with the fastest recall will be the winner! How high can you fly – A fun jumping competition. Dogs will compete to see which dog can jump the highest.

The Cleverest Canine

Musical Hoops – This is musical chairs for dogs! While the music plays, handlers heel their dogs around a circle of hula-hoops. When the music stops, handlers tell their dogs to “sit” (or “down”) so that at least two of their paws are in a hoop. Any dogs without two paws in a hoop are excused. One hoop is then removed and the game continues until only one remains. The handler is not allowed to enter the hoop at any time or they are excused. Best Trick Can your dog shake hands, bark on command, roll over or other fun tricks? Show off your dog’s talents in this fun competition. Pawcasso A fun game where dogs can show off their creative talents. 4 colors of nontoxic paints to choose from and put on poster sized canvases, covered with plastic. Your dog can walk or roll on the canvas or wear one of our clever cutout shapes. A team of judges will decide on the most talented pup painting.

Dogs are given a series of foods, such as dog treats, crackers, cheese, hot dogs, vegetables and lemon slices. If a dog does NOT eat what is put on his plate, he is excused. The winner is the dog who eats everything. Obedience Challenge Timed event – 10 Exercises in total.
