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 obstacles mixed with Rally Obedience. The team who finishes fastest with the least amount of faults is the winner!
Dog Biscuit Dash
Handlers will walk with their dogs over a predesigned course, while carrying a dog treat on a spoon, without dropping it. At the end of the course the handler must put the treat in the bucket and the dogs must retrieve a piece of hot dog from a second bucket. The fastest team to complete the course wins.
Rocket Recall – This game tests your dog’s recall skills. Dogs are placed in sit/stay and the handlers walk 10 meters away. When the judge says call your dog. The dog with the fastest recall is the winner.
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.
The Maze – Guide your dog from the top to the bottom of our maze without holding a leash or touching your dog. Accuracy and speed will determine the winners
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.
Pet Ettiquette
Bone Appetite – Does your dog love food? Enter the Bone Appetite contest and put him to the test. 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.
Leave It –- In this test of focus, obedience and will power, dogs must resist the lure of tasty treats, toys and other distractions and obey their handlers by “staying.” Dogs are put in a sit stay on one end of a carpet and the handler walks to the other end and calls his/her dog. The dog must come to the handler without touching any of the distractions placed on both sides of the carpet.
If a dog breaks and goes for the treats, he is excused from the competition. In the event of a tie we will have a showdown using higher levels of distractions.
Obedience Challenge
Timed event – 10 Exercises in total. Handlers have the given amount of time to complete each exercise or they will be excused from the event if their dog is not in position when the allotted time is up. If the dog moves from position during the allotted time the handler must put the dog back into position before the time is up or they will be disqualified.
Junior Handler Academy
Best Junior Handler – Final Competition – First prize winners of all games compete for best junior handler. Best Junior Handler awarded.
