Canine Culture: The Race is ON!
In honor of National Dog Week, cast your vote to help one lucky pup win a year's worth of FREE daycare!
We're not talking politics - but we would like your VOTE!
Every fall, daycare clients are given the opportunity to earn a year's worth of FREE daycare in Canine Craze's Back to School Challenge. The purpose is to reinforce pet parents who teach good manners and set a positive example with well-behaved community pooches.
Judging is based on three criteria:
1. Walk nicely on leash
2. Sit or drop on owner's cue
3. Stay in position while leash is passed off to daycare staff
Videos of the 10 finalists are posted. In fairness to all contestants, please watch all videos before casting your vote!
It's going to be down to the wire! We hope you enjoy the videos and the rest of National Dog Week. If you have a canine-related question, please send it our way. Cheers!
