The Stylin' Paws "Ultimate Stay" Contest
Can your dog “Stay”? Really, really “Stay”? If so, you might have the winner of the Stylin’ Paws Ultimate Stay Contest. It’s a test of will and obedience and as we have the handlers put their dogs in a “Stay” command, then we start adding distractions. Rolling tennis balls, treats, noises, all the while moving the handlers farther from the dogs. First place wins $100 CASH!

"Leave It" Contest
If we put a small piece of a hot dog in front of your dog, could he/she “Leave It” on your command? It’s fun to see which dog has the best will power as we test behavior and training skills in the “Leave It” Contest. Even the crowd gets in the act with this Contest as we search for our 2023 Leave It Champion! There is a $100 cash prize for the winner!

Want to give it a try? 2023 bragging rights are at stake!
