🐀🌾 Let the sniffing begin…
One of the newest experiences coming to this year’s Dog Festival is Barn Hunt, a sport designed to let dogs do what they do best: use their nose!

While humans love Wi-Fi… our canine companions are running on scent technology from another universe.

Barn Hunt gives dogs the opportunity to tap into their natural hunting instincts, search skills, problem solving, and confidence, all through scent work and exploration in a fun, safe environment.
And the best part?

You might be surprised which dogs become absolute detectives.
Tiny dogs. Big dogs. Fancy dogs. Chaos gremlins.
Turns out, noses don’t discriminate.

Join Tracy Wood with Canine Companion Training Academy as they set up a barn experience like no other!

💦🐾 Ready to make a splash?

Dock diving is back for Sarnia's Dog Festival and every year, it’s one of the biggest crowd favourites!

Whether your dog is a seasoned flying cannonball or wants to cautiously inspect the water… the pool is open for all experience levels.

Come let your dog:
🌊 Try the dock diving pool
🌊 Jump, swim, splash & play
🌊 Discover their new favourite obsession
🌊 Burn off approximately 14 zoomies worth of energy

No pressure. No experience needed. Just dogs having the absolute time of their lives.

Dock diving for all. Confidence optional. Splashing guaranteed.

We’re kicking things off with something we’re very excited about! 💥

This year, we’re welcoming Jess VanSchyndel and her team for two, LIVE agility demonstrations, and yes… your dog can get in on the action too!

We’ll have agility equipment on-site to try, with Jess's help, you can find out what your dog is really capable of (spoiler: probably more than you think).

But that’s just the beginning.

This year’s Dog Festival is all about the experience, not just for you, but for your dog:
✨ Lure coursing
✨ Dock diving
✨ Splash pad Zone
✨Doggy Paddle Zone
✨ Off-leash Play Zones
✨ Barn Hunt
✨ Live Demonstrations
✨ Vendors, food, music & more entertainment!

And we’re just getting started.

More announcements, more features, and more reasons to mark your calendar are coming soon. ✔ Saturday, June 20th!

Stay tuned… this one’s going to be worth it.
