All About Dogs Day

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers!

Are you looking for something fun to do this fall with your greyhound/s?  Well, be sure to mark your calendars for November 2nd!

NLGA is going to be at All About Dogs Day at the Arboretum!

All About Dogs Day is a special event at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

From the All About Dogs registration website:

A great event at the Arboretum to honor man and woman's best friend! Reserve a spot for you and your faithful canine companion to socialize with other attendees during All About Dogs Day at the Arboretum. Check out the 'Pet Expo', 'Meet the Breeds', 'Smart Dog Activities' and be some of our first guests to explore and give your thoughts on the Arboretum's future Dog Commons. A special presentation by Dr. Jean Larson at 10 a.m. will highlight plans for the Dog Commons and allow for Q & A.

$5 of every registration will go to the Arboretum's new Animal-Assisted Interactions program. Doggie goodie bags and a ticket for a professional pet photo with Lili Photo included with registration! 

Don't have a dog, but love anything canine? Are you thinking of getting a dog? Join the fun! This is a great event to gather information, meet different breeds, and discover volunteer opportunities with canines. Regular gate fees apply to attendees without a dog; $12 for those 13 and up. 

Schedule of events:
9 a.m.: Registration for attendees & their dogs opens
9 a.m.-1 p.m.: Exploration and survey of Dog Commons
9 a.m.-1 p.m.: 'Pet Expo', 'Meet the Breeds', 'Smart Dog Activities'
10 a.m.: Dog Commons Presentation by Dr. Jean Larson

No tickets will be issued. A list of registrants will be printed off and used at the Gate House for admission on November 2. Please print a copy of your invoice when completing your online registration.

Note: Only dogs registered for this event are permitted with owners to walk on Three-Mile Drive Drive and the trails at the Dog Commons. Dogs must be leashed at all times. Owners must pick up after dog. Thanks to all for their cooperation.

NLGA will have a booth in the 'Meet the Breeds' area.  Additionally, there will also be greyhounds attending the walk on Three-Mile Drive and the trails at the Dog Commons.  It would be greyt if you could join us for the walk and help spread the greyhound love while enjoy the Arboretum at the same time!  Remember, you must register!

Hope to see you on November 2nd at All About Dogs Day @ The Arb!
