POGO Events and FIDO present a Dog Friendly version of The Amazing New York Race. The Amazing New York Race is part scavenger hunt, part obstacle course and ALL NEW YORK. A series of clues leads you and your pup around Park Slope, Brooklyn performing physical and mental challenges along the way. We will meet in Prospect Park at 1:00 pm and dogs will be paired up into teams of 2 by a trained behaviorist. OR, you can sign up as a team of two on your own if you are coming with a friend. The cost of $35 is per dog (not per person) so feel free to come with your partner, etc.
