Rover Rodeo Game Details

Egg-In-Spoon Game

Objective: Be the first to cross the finish line

The Game: Participants begin at the start line and cross when cued. Participants must hold their dog’s leash in the same hand as the egg-in-spoon. If participants drop their egg-in-spoon while walking to the finish line, they must stop, collect the egg, and put it back on the spoon before continuing. The first duo to cross the finish line, get their dog to sit and tap their dog on the head wins.

Behavior to work on: Loose Leash Walking

Rover Relay Game

Objective: Be the first to cross the finish line

The Game: Participants will begin at the start line and cross when cued. Participants will move to the first cone, perform the behaviors listed then move to the next cone. The pattern continues until the last cone. Once the behavior at the last cone is complete, participants will cross the finish line, get their dog to sit, and tap their dog on the head. The first duo to tap their dog on the head wins.

Behaviors to Work On: Puppy Push Up’s (sit, down, sit, down), Spin, Shake, Touch

Simon Says Game

Objective: Be the last team in the game

The Game: Participants must perform the behaviors the moderator calls out, but only if the phrase “Simon Says” precedes the behavior. If a team performs a behavior without being told “Simon Says”, they will be eliminated. If a team cannot perform a behavior, they will be eliminated.

Behaviors to Work On: Sit, Down, Spin, Touch, Shake
