ABOUT THE EVENT:
Join us for a refreshing and exhilarating evening at the Canine Water Carnival, part of the Summer Doggy Olympics held at K9 Kaos in Dover, NH! This event is a paradise for dogs who love water and offers a fantastic opportunity for them to splash, play, and engage in a variety of water-based games within several shallow pools in a secure, enclosed area.

• Social Play in Water: Dogs can enjoy socializing and playing in multiple shallow pools, perfect for cooling off on a hot day.
• Bobbing for Hot Dogs: This fun challenge allows dogs to bob for hot dogs in the water, testing their agility and providing tasty rewards.
• Chasing Bubbles: Adding a bit of whimsy, dogs can chase and pop bubbles around the pools, combining visual fun with physical activity.
• Ball and Toy Retrieval: A game of fetch takes a wet twist as dogs jump into the pools to retrieve floating balls and toys, encouraging them to play and enhancing their retrieval skills.
• Scent Hunt: We will hide treats around the enclosed area and let the dogs find them using their scent-tracking abilities for a fun way to engage your dogs’ natural sniffing skills.
