SPRING VALLEY, WI – Spring Valley is soon to be Western Wisconsin’s destination for dog sports, competitions, and activities. Join us for our Grand Opening this Saturday, on May 4, 2024, from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, at Overdale Canine Sports, S1000 Westland Drive, Spring Valley, in Westland Meadows Business Park, just south of the SV health care center.
Overdale Canine Sports’s Grand Opening this Saturday, will feature demonstrations of agility, scentwork, obedience, rally, barn hunt, and trick dog. Spectators can watch demonstrations, find material about these dog sports, as well as others such as therapy dog, canine good citizens, STAR puppy, and fetch.
Socialized dogs are welcome at the event and will have the opportunity to participate in our “Try it with your dog” activity, which will allow guests and their pups to try out beginning agility skills under the guidance of our expert instructors.
As you arrive, spectators will be greeted by Meet the Breed exhibits, showcasing some of the most popular and most rare breeds of dogs training with us, from old familiars like the German shepherd dog, to new friends like the Xoloitzcuintli. Throughout the day there will be around 30 unusual breeds represented. Talk with the handlers to learn the ins and outs of owning their chosen breed of dog.
Many other activities will be available throughout the day. Learn about and sign up for classes available at Overdale for both pets and canine sports enthusiasts, interact with handlers from beginners to expert level, learn about dog competitions coming to Spring Valley this year and, in the future, and enjoy a light lunch on us until food runs out.
