Looking for a great way to engage, burn off some energy and have fun with your pup? Games are the best way to do that – they are fun for you and your dog! BYOD (Bring Your Own Dog) and take on the challenge of the WINE GLASS WALK, the ever-popular MUSICAL BEACH CHAIRS game, and the ultimate test of focus: our LONGEST SIT-STAY contest.
- Wine Walk – Holding a wine glass (filled with water), you and your dog will walk down and back on the Panoway lawn. The team who makes it back with the most amount of wine in the shortest amount of time wins!
- Musical Beach Chairs – Just like musical chairs, but with beach towels for your dog to sit on. When the music stops, your dog must sit on the closest towel (one dog per towel). The last dog sitting on a beach towel is the winner!
- Longest Sit-Stay Contest – All dogs will sit and stay on a beach towel while an increasing number of “distractions” are presented. The dog who holds their sit-stay the longest is the winner!
Compete for fabulous prizes! The winner of each event will go home with an amazing gift from one of our sponsors.
Available to all dog sizes/breeds and their humans! The Doggy Olympics games can be played by any doggo/human team – and it’s FREE to register!
Don’t let your pup miss out on the fun – join us by registering today.
*Please Note: Start times are subject to change depending on number of event entrants
