In the words of the classic song made famous by Frank Sinatra, devotees of dogs will say that Chicago is “My Kind of Town” as they enjoy all of the animal-themed activities at the Windy City Pet Expo, taking place July 23 – 24 in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg.
Activities
- Clap for your canine companion as he or she works their way through weave poles and tackles teeters at the State Farm Agility and Obstacle Course. Designed for dogs of all ages, sizes and abilities, trainers will be on hand to offer tips that will help you navigate your sport-loving Spot through the activity.
- Cheer for Rovers as they run after a bogus “bunny” in the Lucky Dogs Adventures Lure Course.
