The Five Flags Dog Training Club supports the Festival every year with exciting and amazing canine demonstrations presented by club members and their fur kids. At the Agility exhibition area you can watch nimble pooches demonstrate their agile nature and versatility by following cues from their handlers through an obstacle course of jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and other obstacles. Next enjoy high steppin' canines and their human dance partners as the Country Canine Square Dancers strut their stuff to toe-tappin' country tunes. And, once again, the “Panhandle Supersonics”, Pensacola's first official Fly Ball team, will thrill the crowd with their spirited, fast-paced canine relay races.

Members of the club will also be on hand Saturday to meet and greet all the visiting canines and their humans. People bringing their pooches to the Festival should check in at the Five Flags table, located in the Agility area, to pick up a tag for their furry friend to wear to show that they have “checked in”.

Saturday demonstrations start at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
