A Punta Gorda dog-sport center is hosting two days of agility, dock diving and timed sprints, with vendors and food trucks on site.
Pawz-a-Palooza runs Nov. 13 and 14 at Bratty Paws Dog Plex, 2551 Taylor Road, according to WINK News. The community event puts dogs of every size and experience level into different classes. The same account describes a 21,000-square-foot indoor, climate-controlled building, a 12,000-square-foot artificial-turf arena and a 50-foot dock-diving pool.
Agility and dock diving share the card with Fast CAT and other canine sports. Fast CAT is the plain one to explain: a timed sprint chasing a lure. The turf arena takes the running and obstacle work; the pool is there for dogs that finish a sprint with a jump into the water.
Bratty Paws calls itself Southwest Florida's premier indoor dog-sport training and event center. Its website lists agility, basic obedience, scent work, private lessons, pool rentals and dock-diving practice, and the facility also offers puppy training and Canine Good Citizen preparation. Event and program details are posted at that Punta Gorda address, 2551 Taylor Road, FL 33950.
