Rain or shine we invite you to come to the biggest Carnival yet! HBR’s Canine Carnival is an amazing day full of events for the whole family.

Come on down to Lakeview Park and watch as your canine exercises his/her prey instinct, jumps through hoops and over hurdles and chases a lure around a contained course run by DogLoversDays.

K9 Central offers the premier pet destination in Durham region but, on carnival day, they’re coming to us! Bring your four-legged family member to try dock diving in the canine swimming pool or weight pulling for your larger breed.

And, you won’t want to miss our local canine celebrities Woof Jocks as they show off their stuff during demonstrations that showcase tricks, agility, Frisbee, musical freestyle, a precision obedience drill set to music as well as some fun canine games that involve the audience!

K9 Fit is Ontario’s first DOG GYM! Their focus is on achieving a positive release of energy to promote higher overall health and happiness by stimulating mind and body in our canine companions. Busy lifestyles often get in the way of providing the exercise your pups require, so at a low cost and high convenience, K9 Fit can help keep your pooch happy and healthy!
Free Trials at Carnival this year!

No carnival would be complete without an adorable doggy fashion show. Sign your pup up now at https://hbrcaninecarnival.wordpress.com or on the day of the carnival to strutt his/her stuff! If you just can’t find the perfect thing to wear, don’t worry – there will be outfits for purchase from HBR or one of our vendor partners.

For the Two legged kids on the family there will be a miniature midway with games and prizes, bottle toss, bean bag toss, stick the tongue on the Bull Dog, and stuffed dog adoption event!

All this among fabulous vendors from dog accessories, treats and paintings, to learning doggy CPR. For more information please follow our page at https://hbrcaninecarnival.wordpress.com https://www.facebook.com/events/222357278336161

February is DOG TRAINING EDUCATION MONTH, making it the perfect time to stop and think about simple ways training can improve life for both you and your pet!

No matter what tools you use to train your pet the most important thing is to stay safe and have fun! Always do your best to keep training a positive experience and remember that all the hard work will make both of your lives easier. It’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks!
