WALKATHON CANINE CONTESTS

1. “Definitely a Diva” – You know who we’re talking about!! Is she your four-legged companion? The Diva-Dog is definitely spoiled, definitely prissy, and definitely the center of her world---and yours!! She goes to the dog park---but only to watch the other dogs!! She would NEVER allow her properly primped paws to touch the common grounds!
2. “The All-American Male” – When you seen him strutting down the street, there’s no question he is 100% pure beefcake! All the girl-dogs in the neighborhood and at the dog park are crazy about this smooth-barking hunk! 
3. The “Winning Smile” – Yes, dogs do smile. For this contest, it is your job to make your dog “laugh!!”
4. The “Waggingest Tail – Do you sometimes worry that your dog might hurt himself…or someone else…with that wild wagging tail?    For this contest, get your dog to wag his tail, shake his booty, and win a prize!!
5. Best Dog-Owner Look-Alikes – Has anyone ever told you that your dog is perfect for you? You both have that certain look about you. A pair of “bulldogs” or two svelt “greyhounds?”   Could we match up the two of you in a crowded dog park?
