🎉🐶 Get Ready for a Tail-Wagging Weekend at the Annapolis Valley K9 Carnival! 🐶🎉

Just a couple more sleeps until two action-packed days of dog-friendly fun, learning, shopping, and sniffy adventures! Here's what you need to know:

Location: Annapolis Valley Exhibition Grounds, 570 Main St, Lawrencetown, NS B0S 1M0

Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM this Saturday & Sunday

🐾 DOGS ARE WELCOME!
Please keep your pup on a leash at all times and don’t forget to pick up after them. While many dogs love making new friends, not all want to socialize—so be mindful and give other dogs the space they need.

🎪 SATURDAY DEMOS — Rain or shine!
Come watch some amazing working dogs and learn more about different training styles from our talented pros:
🐀 10–11 AM: Ratting
🏃‍♀️ 11–12 PM: Agility
🐀 12–1 PM: Ratting
🔵 1–2 PM: Hoopers
🐑 2:30–3:30 PM: Sheep Herding

📍Demo Details:

Agility & Hoopers: Will be in the main outdoor arena. Quiet dogs may sit with you in the bleachers. Barking dogs will be asked to step out.

Sheep Herding: Will be in the main outdoor arena. No dogs allowed in this area.

Ratting: Held indoors. Dogs may attend but must stay back from the ring.

🧭 Sniff-tastic Scavenger Hunt
Held indoors. Let your pup explore and enjoy some scent work fun all weekend long!

🎉 SUNDAY = TRY-IT DAY!
Your dog can try their paw at hoopers and ratting, and the scavenger hunt continues! These activities are first come, first served.
