Yes, you heard it right. The popular island
destination has literally gone to man’s best friend. At Hey! Jude
in Boracay, a gathering of active, energetic dogs showcased the
strong bond that they have with their humans through a challenging
round of dog Frisbee. Up for grabs were various cash prizes and
doggie treats.
ALPO aims to give all the hot
dogs of Boracay their due through the ALPO Frisbee Challenge. The
Frisbee Challenge is a whole-day event which literally gives dogs
their time under the sun as it offers various activities for both
dogs and dog owners alike for pampering, bonding and quality time.
During whole-day event, humans
and their canine counterparts enjoyed exciting activities at the
ALPO Dog Fair including a dog fashion show, which showcased the
hottest in canine couture, dog grooming to ensure that dogs always
look their best, personalized dog trinkets for both owner and pet
and other various ALPO activities and giveaways.
To make sure the dogs were at the
top of their game, a pre-event activity dubbed ALPO Dog Obedience
and Frisbee Clinic was also recently held in Boracay.
Participating pooches were taught
how to play Frisbee by certified dog trainers as well as things
about basic obedience that included reward system for positive
reinforcement, enhancing the dog’s prey (play drive), and teaching
the dog to come when called. Last but not the least, the dogs were
also taught Frisbee skills such as starting exercises, how to catch,
get the Frisbee back and how to avoid dangers.
Dog Frisbee is quickly gaining a
huge following among local dog enthusiasts.
The sport allows dogs to keep
healthy through the buildup and preservation of muscle mass as well
as the maintenance of constant exercise.
And better yet, it allows humans
and dogs to spend quality time and have fun together, strengthening
that special bond with our furry friends. And the best part is that,
any dog breed at all can participate!
