Dogs on the Go at Bark in the Park™ San Jose 2019

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Bark in the Park™ San Jose 2019, the largest dog festival in the United States, will be held September 21, 2019, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at William Street Park (Corner of E. William Street and S. 16th Street) in downtown San Jose, California.

Organized by the Campus Community Association, Bark in the Park is located in an expansive neighborhood park. This family-friendly event features contests, beverages, food, agility courses, kid's activities, and over 75 different dog-related vendors and services. Admission is $6 donation per adult. Children and dogs get in free. Proceeds from donations benefit the Humane Society Silicon Valley, San Jose Animal Care Center, and other local charities.

New this year is a Barn Hunt demonstration. A new and quickly growing dog sport, Barn Hunt is where dogs are asked to use their scent tracking skills. There will be demonstrations of this sport and as well as the chance for attendees to run their own pups through a course. Offered by K9RatPack!, dogs are given the scent of a rat, and then put through a course to find the rat. The rats are in protected cages, so no one get hurts and the dogs learn how to use their noses better.

Urban mushing is also new this year. Provided by K9 Adventures Urban Mushing, this dry land equivalent of snow mushing will be demonstrated by the Sacto Dog Cart with a team of Huskies.

Returning this year is the ever-popular Misting Tent, courtesy of San Jose Water, along with low-cost vaccinations and microchipping provided by PAWS 4 SJACS (Pet Awareness and Welfare Society for San Jose Animal Care Services).

The agility course sponsored by Fetch Sam where attendees can try their pup's agility abilities will be available throughout the day. As well as dog training and agility demonstrations.

The popular Kids Entertainment Zone returns with "Dog Owner in Training" sessions where children and families can learn the basics of dog ownership. There will also be a kid's agility course, puppy make-over packages (face painting and more), and a dog-themed bounce house.

There will also be DIY Dog Toy Making Activity provided by Jake's Wish Dog Rescue, and Story time with Edith from San Jose Pubic Library. Frenzy, the San Jose Barracuda Mascot, will make an appearance at the Barracuda Slap Shot Booth.
