The Big Stage Experience... At Your Event
Book the premier Stunt Dog Show for your Fair. The Canine Stars has the industry's top set, with a 16ft tall truss backdrop, optional LED video wall, and dock diving. We perform on grass, or bring our artificial turf for concrete surfaces, within a 70' x 55' footprint. USDA Licensed.
We don't just set up a few jumps; we build a stadium atmosphere. Our setup features a massive 16ft high Truss Backdrop, a professional sound system, and the option of our 16'x8' LED Video Wall to run sponsor commercials between shows.
The Format: A high-energy 25-minute production, 3x daily featuring Freestyle Disc, High Jumping (up to 8.5ft!), Agility, and Dock Diving. Every show is followed by a 15-minute Meet & Greet, allowing your guests to connect deeply with our cast of rescue dogs.
