We left the campground this morning to drive around and look at the fall colors and stumbled across a Bark in the Park going on in North Conway, New Hampshire. Since Belle, our dog, has never participated in this event and needing "doggie socialization", we decided to stop and take part.
They had a beautiful day and a beautiful location for their event. Lots of people and lots of dogs.
Belle was a little over whelmed at first and wasn't too sure if she liked the whole idea of Bark in the Park, but after a bit she relaxed and started enjoying herself.
Part of the event was an agility course that you could take your dogs through. Belle had never done one before and although she balked at the tunnels at first she tackled the ramps, teeter totter and bridge with ease.
This was an easy one for Belle. She does this all the time in the woods!
The first tunnel took a little coaxing but she did pretty well with the second tunnel.

Another activity checked the smartness of your dog. They had them go through a hoop, find a treat in a ball and commands of sit, lay down, shake and a trick of your choice. Belle rated a score of Einstein! Of course we knew that!
