The four stations
Take on each activity in order and collect a stamp after every completed challenge.
Dogs will race from the start line towards their owner waiting at the finish line. Along the route, there will be toys and distractions designed to test their focus. They should complete the challenge in under 10 seconds.
Can your pup sniff out the hidden treat? Four cups will be placed on the platform, with only one containing the treat. The dog must rely on its nose to identify the correct cup to complete the challenge.
Your dog must remain in a designated spot for 10 seconds while event staff attempt to distract them using toys, sounds and movement. If your pup stays in position until the timer ends, you have completed the challenge.
Strike your best pose with your furry friend. Capture a memorable photo at the themed GIF/Camera Booth and receive a printed keepsake to remember your PawQuest adventure.
