How high can your dog jump? Can he or she stack up with the best Thermal has to offer? Come find out when we hold the annual DIHP Dog Puissance Challenge! Have some fun, win great prizes, and benefit a good cause by putting your dog’s jumping skills to the test in a friendly competition. Dogs will compete in a set order for the duration of the event in their respective divisions. The competition will start with a low jump, and each dog will attempt to jump it. A dog will be excused if it knocks the rail down, refuses the jump, or its handler elects not to continue. After the last dog in the order clears the jump, it will be raised, and the next round will begin. The dog clearing the jump at the highest height wins. Ribbons awarded 1st-10th in each division.
