GAMES & SPORTS FOR YOUR DOG!
ANY DOG CAN PARTICIPATE!
Harmony Dog Sports is hosting Fetch Trials at the Denver Dog Fair!
FETCH: Welcome to AKC Fetch! When dog owners are asked about activities they like to do with their dogs, the most common responses are to take their dog for a walk and to play ball (fetch) with the dog.
AKC Fetch titles were created as another activity in which owners could have fun with their dogs in the AKC Family Dog Program. Earning AKC Fetch titles provides opportunities for both physical and mental exercise. While some dogs are natural retrievers, AKC Fetch, especially at the advanced levels, will involve teaching new skills such as retrieving. AKC Fetch is designed for all breeds and mixed breeds. Included with admission.

AGILITY: NEW! Come one, come all to a new kind of circus involving dogs and their people! Our Agility Demos are hosted by Ace'n It Dog Sports! Come watch agility dogs at work: jumping, climbing, and weaving. Agility is a great way to train any breed of dog to play as a team with their humans. It involves physical and mental exercise.
We will have demos from trained agility dogs every half hour. After cheering them on, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and let your own dog give it a try. Designed for all breeds. Included with admission.

FURRY FASHION DISTRICT!
NEW! Some dogs just LOVE to be the center of attention... (Okay, really ALL of them love that)! Our new Furry Fashion District expands last year's pupular Fashion Show to an all-day affair, with a Red Carpet, Photo Fashion Stations, outfits and accessories galore and more! Included with Admission!
PUPPY KISSING BOOTH!
As expected, the Puppy Kissing Booth was one of our most popular features in 2024! And even better than the puppy snuggles is the fact that some of those puppies kissed their way into a forever home ... LOTS of our adoptions began there! So, we're doing it again! Happiness really IS a warm puppy!
Our Puppy Kissing Booth features new groups of puppies on the hour, supplied by our participating adoption agencies! The pups will have a 45-minute shift, with 15 minutes to change groups, to be sure the puppies don't OD on all the love! Included with Admission (although you'll be able to donate to the puppy-supplying adoption agency).

HERDING DEMOS!
K9cation, headquartered in Hudson, CO, is hosting a series of herding demos in our Stadium Arena downstairs. Their expert dogs will do the Demos every hour on the hour, and in between, your dogs can "try it."
Do you have a herding breed or herder mix? Ever wonder how intact their instincts are? Find out at the Denver Dog Fair. For a nominal fee and a signed waiver, you can get your dog into the ring to "Try It" and see if they nail it - or fail it! Demos included with Admission.

Thank Your Dog for being so Pawsome
Look for this one and be sure to write a Thank You note to your dog, bring a photo to tape up, or write a special tribute to your favorite fur baby.
It's our big Pawsitiviely Thankful wall, and by the end of the fair, we expect it to be full of gratitude and memories and wonderful notes of thanks, from us to them.
