Twisted Pet Show 2026

When: Friday at 3:00 pm

Where: The Wheel

Who: All are welcome to watch! While participation in the competition is reserved for paired Handlers & pets, solo pets & Handlers are encouraged to register. A casual meet-up will be organized at camp prior to the event to allow solo registrants the opportunity to pair up if they wish. Pets without Handlers are welcome to participate in the Runway Fashion category. We are also looking for volunteers to judge, manage rings, announcer, etc.

Entry requirements:

All experience & skill levels welcome!

Handlers may show multiple pets & should complete separate forms for each pet.

Pets may not compete with multiple Handlers.

Entry Classes: Classes will not impact judging or eligibility for awards.

Little pet class: For pets who are also littles (puppies, kittens, foals, kits etc)

Novice class: For those new to Pet Play (<1 year)

Amateur class: For those pets & Handlers with >1 year Pet Play experience, but who are working together for the first time

Veteran class: For those pets & Handlers who have been working together for >5 years

Event categories: The competition will be divided into the below 4 categories. Participants may compete in as many categories as they like. Category entry will determine eligibility for certain awards; see "Awards & Qualifications" section below for details.

Obedience & Tricks: Participants are asked to perform a short routine of their choice (under 3 minutes) to showcase both Handler skill & pet obedience. The routine does not need to be "choreographed" & should ultimately demonstrate the connection between pet & Handler. Routines may include basic handling commands & signature tricks.

Agility: A basic agility course will be provided, including jumps, tunnels, & weave poles. Participants will be scored on both speed and accuracy in completing the course. Handlers should take an active role in directing their pet through the course.

Runway Fashion: Show off your style! Pets without Handlers are welcome to participate in this category solo. Paired pets & Handlers are encouraged to coordinate their outfits.
