********EVENT OVERVIEW**************
🐕🦺💨 MORNING K9 SPORTING EVENTS — 8 AM
Come early to witness dogs achieving athletic greatness while their humans achieve... character development. Whether you're a seasoned expert or a total novice, everyone is welcome to jump in — yes, even if the closest you've come to "agility training" is chasing your dog around the yard at 6 AM.
● K9XGames (Hosted by Shelzsmide K9s Dog Training — aka the pros who somehow convince dogs to do obstacles on purpose): Tackle a 5-acre thrilling obstacle course! Run it together with your pup, or brave it solo yourself and prove you're the alpha.
● Luring Course (Hosted by Mr. Lucky Dogs Sanctuary, Inc.): Watch your pup's prey drive kick in as they hit speeds that make you question physics — and your life choices around exercise.
● Kids' Obstacle Course: Tiny humans. Big determination. Kids can run it with or without their dog!
