Suffolk – Have a Go Activities

Bring your dog and have fun together at this year’s have-a-go-activities*! It’s a great chance to bond with your dog and learn something new – or if you’ve tried the activities before, you can build on your skills together. If you enjoy yourselves, make sure you speak to the team running the activity as they may run a club that you can join too! 

This year’s activities include:

Fun Dog Shows: Does your dog have the waggiest tail or are they the most handsome hound? Take part in our Fun Dog Shows for the chance to win rosettes and compete in our Best in Show! All Fun Dog Shows are run by dog rescues and charities. Find out this year’s class timetables here.

Dock Diving: Come along and let your dog have a go and get super wet in this increasingly popular sport. Remember to bring your camera as you are sure to get some good shots of dogs flying through the air! Activity is run by K9 Aqua.

Agility: Discover the joy of agility with the aid of the instructors from Pawprints to Freedom Rescue. Run your dog on or off lead around the flowing and inviting course over jumps, through tunnels and over the contact equipment. Suitable for all dogs over one year. No experience necessary as help is given to ensure you all enjoy your agility experience. Activity is run by Pawprints to Freedom Rescue.

Flyball: Are you looking for a new activity to enjoy with your dog? Perhaps you want to help socialise your dog while providing excellent exercise that stimulates their brain, agility, and heart rate. Flyball could be your dog’s new favourite pastime. The aim of the sport is for each individual dog to jump over four hurdles, trigger the flyball box to release a ball, catch the ball and then return over four jumps carrying the ball. There will be two or three lanes set up so you and your dog can have a go! Activity is run by Be Right Back Flyball.

Lure Racing: This activity is great fun to watch! See your dog chase the lure – can they get the fastest time of the day? Activity is run by ACES.

Hurdles: Let your dog have a go at Hurdles – a great activity for dogs to use their coordination and speed as they jump their way through the line of hurdles. Will they get the quickest time? Activity is run by ACES.

Scentwork (TBC): Activity is run by Kassie Woods.

Fastest Recall: This is a test of speed! It’s a high energy canine sport which requires your dog to chase a toy…. then come back on recall. Will your dog be the quickest of the day? All proceeds of the Recall go to the German Shepherd Rescue Elite.

Tombola Dash: The fastest times within each hour will win a prize. Fastest dog of the day wins a rosette. Activity is run by the Notts & Yorkshire Boxer Rescue.
