DOCK DIVING

Come along and let your dog have a go and get super wet in this increasingly popular sport. Remember to bring your camera as you are sure to get some good shots of dogs flying through the air! Activity is run by K9 Aqua Sports.

HOOPERS

Hoopers is a fun and engaging sport where dogs negotiate hoops, tunnels and barrels in a flowing and inviting course. With no jumps or tight turns, the sport is accessible for all. We teach you how to help your dog understand ‘hoop value’, how to run through the 80cm wide tunnels and run round the barrels, all in the course order. On or off lead, no experience necessary, suitable for dogs and puppies from 6 months. Activity is run by BTAC Dog Training.

BARN HUNT

A fun and exciting new sport that taps into your dog’s natural instinct to sniff and search. The game is set in an arena filled with straw. Climbing over bales and crawling through tunnels, the aim is for your dog to use their nose to find the prize without getting distracted by the decoys. No matter what their breed, age or physical fitness, any dog can take part in the fun and games! Activity is run by BTAC Dog Training.

FLYBALL

The aim of the sport is for each individual dog to jump over four hurdles, trigger the flyball box to release a ball, catch the ball and then return over four jumps carrying the ball. There will be two or three lanes set up so you and your dog can have a go! Activity is run by the Solar Flyball team in Wickford, Essex.
