Before You Go

While we understand that everyone has different training philosophies, EBHS is a force free organization. Prong collars, choke collars, shock collars, and retractable leashes are not allowed at Wagfest. If you attend with a leash or collar that is not allowed, you will be asked to remove it. We have an exchange program for you to utilize while you attend the event.
