What's New at PawsAbilities 2011?

We want this to be the best PawsAbilities ever, and we've added some new, fun things for you and your dog to do!

What's New?

At the Dog Olympic Games, play the new game, Temptation Tower, at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day!

Test yourself and your dog in the Obstacle Gambler's Choice event. In this obstacle course run by Dog Scout Troop 161, each obstacle has a different point value, and you must choose which obstacles you and your dog want to complete. But choose wisely because you only have a certain amount of time to rack up as many points as possible!

Help your dog reach a state of zen with doga (yoga for dogs). After watching a demonstration on the PawsAbilities stage, you and your dog can try doga. This is a great way for you and your dog to relax!

You don't want to miss the demonstration of Newfoundland dog carting! You and your dog will also have a chance to see if cart pulling is for you!

The cake walk is an annual favorite in the Dog Olympic Games, but this year we've put a new twist on it. In the Kody Kup Walk, you and your dog could win the grand prize - a tower of toys and Kody Kups, those delicious frozen apple peanut butter treats.

Returning Favorites

Once again, the Ultimate Air Dogs will be leaping into PawsAbilities! Come watch these amazing dogs launch themselves off a dock into a pool of water.

Enter your dog in the Cutest Dog Contest. Hosted by Denny Logan of WINK 104 at noon on Saturday and by Jen Shade of 105.7 the X at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, this contest is always a crowd-pleaser. The contest is free, but there will be a limited number of entries. Be sure to come early to register your cute dog!

March in the Abrams & Weakley Parade! You and your dog will have the opportunity to win prizes for marching in the parade. We will be awarding prizes for the dog with the biggest ears, longest fur, shortest tail, most spots and more!

Vendors, vendors and more vendors! With over 70 vendors, you'll find everything you want and need for your dog, plus some things for yourself! Check out www.pawsabilities.net/vendors for a list of the 2011 vendors.
