Tricks & Treats!
Join us for some Wednesday-themed, spooky fun with your dog and show off their tricks to earn some treats! Tricks may include “normie” skills like Sit and Down, or more “outcast” things like Shake and Spin! There will also be competitions for best dog costume, best team costume (human and dog or multiple dogs), and best trick! Cost is $15 per dog.
Costumes are optional, but who doesn’t love a dressed up dog?

Noodlers!
If unicorns invented a dog sport it would likely be called Eye Candy Agility. Since the Unicorn Union won’t let us steal that, we’re calling it Noodlers. A lighthearted, action packed magical game of obstacles and color. This class is an excellent way to exercise both your dog’s body and mind, and will help build confidence and focus while deepening the relationship between you and your dog. And the best part is, it’s all made of noodles!
