Try It Day!

Urban Rat Race and Country Rat Race are new sports that started in 2021-2022.
They are sanctioned by All Breed International Dog Sports. These trademarked sports have taken Oxford Dog Sports by storm.
They are now being offered not only at Oxford Dog Sports, they are also being offered by Focused Dog Training in 4 locations and Bluewater Dog Sports in Sarnia.
This workshop provides you with the opportunity to try on these 2 super fun sports.
