The four stations

Complete the PawQuest.

Take on each activity in order and collect a stamp after every completed challenge.

Station 01

Pets Dash

Dogs will race from the start line towards 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.

Station 02

Sniff It Out

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.

Ingredient notice Sniff It Out may use freeze-dried strawberries, freeze-dried blueberries, or both. If either ingredient may be unsuitable for your dog because of an allergy, intolerance, medical condition or dietary restriction, do not participate and speak to station staff.

Station 03

Paws on Pause

Your dog must remain in a designated spot for 20 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.

Station 04

Strike a Paws

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.

Participation FAQs

Does my dog need to be well-trained?

Not at all! Basic recall, focus and a short stay are helpful, but PawQuest is designed to be enjoyable for dogs of all experience levels.

Do I need to run or exercise too?
