Stanford Athletics reached out to let us know about DOG LOVERS DAY  at Stanford Women’s Basketball, this Saturday, December 15th, as the Cardinal take on the University of Pacific at 7pm at Maples Pavilion.  Visit www.gostanford.com/dogs to purchase discount tickets for just $5.  Besides the fact that Stanford Women’s Basketball is ranked #1 in the nation, you can enjoy special dog-related entertainment at this event.

Halftime will feature an agility dog demonstration by the Bay Team.  The Bay Team is a non-profit Bay Area club devoted to canine agility training and trials (competition).  Enjoy entertainment throughout the game with various canine-related activities, videos and more.   While they haven’t opened Maples Pavilion to dogs, you can bring a dog toy to donate to the Humane Society of Silicon Valley, participate in contests, and watch the agility show at half-time.  If you’re not familiar with agility, it’s a terrific option if you have a high-energy, high-drive dog that you would like to find a fun way to work, without getting into something more specific like scent work.
