Demonstrations
The Reliant Park World Series of Dog Shows features a variety of demonstrations for the public to see including the weight pull competition, Canine Frisbee (sm), Musical Freestyle, and the Purina Pro Plan Team Performance. Watch as dogs pull more than 10 times their own weight across a mat to see who is the strongest, or watch dogs perform to music as they do routines with Frisbees or with their human partners, and the Purina Team perform tricks with their trainers!
