Wags Olympics 2014

Wags & Wiggles New FREE Daycare Quick Train has been such a huge hit at our facilities, we decided to take the dogs and the staff to a whole new level:  Introducing the Wags Olympics.  Each facility is going to hold their own Olympic Games during the month of February.  We have divided our staff into teams.  Their Teams Names range from the Pooper Scoopers to the Muttly Crew.  Each week a member of the team will compete in the daycare to earn points.


The Wags Olympics have 6 games that the staff and dogs will compete in
  1. Come For The Gold.  Staff can earn different level of points depending on how many dogs they can get to come at once and sit/stay.  The Gold level is 15 dogs for 20 seconds.
  2. Sit For The Gold.  Groups sit/stays.  The more dogs in the group, the more points earned.
  3. Gate Stays for The Gold.  Staff must get dogs to sit/stay at the go home gate for 15 seconds.  The more dogs they get in their sit stay group, the more points they earn for their team.
  4. Gate Release for The Gold.  Building on the previous exercise, staff must release dogs one by one through the gate.
  5. Leave it For the Gold.  Staff must place a dog biscuit in a hula hoop placed on the ground and use their leave it skills to keep the dogs out of the circle and away from the biscuit.
  6. Breed Knowledge For The Gold.  Display knowledge of randomly selected dogs.
Top 3 Teams and top 3 individuals will earn metals and prizes.  The dogs are sure to learn lots, get lots of treats for performing the exercises, and the staff are so super excited to start the games.  Watch for photos and updates on our Blog and Facebook.

Wags & Wiggles isn't just a place for dogs to come and play, it's a place where they come to learn.
