Discover the Fun of Colorado Earthdogs Inc. Play Days!
Colorado Earthdogs Inc. Play Days are all about giving dogs the chance to do what they love most—dig, sniff, chase, and explore! These events are designed to let dogs engage in natural behaviors in a fun, safe environment, surrounded by a community of dog lovers.
We welcome all breeds and sizes! Many of our activities are inspired by the working instincts of small terriers (15 inches and under) originally bred to hunt underground game like rodents and rabbits. But we also offer exciting events for bigger dogs—everyone can join the fun!
Your dog can try out a variety of activities including:
Brush Hunt and Go-to-Ground: Great for dogs who love to sniff and search.
Racing / Fast Dawg and Lure Course: Perfect for those high-energy chasers.
Underland Tunnel and Big Dawg Obstacle Course (yes, little dogs can try it too!)
Junkyard Dawg: Our signature event combining agility and brainwork for a fun challenge.
Whether you’re looking for casual fun or prepping for competition, Play Days offer something for everyone. You and your dog can go at your own pace—it’s all about bonding, enrichment, and having a great time together. And the best part? You’ll meet fellow dog lovers, exchange tips, and cheer each other on. It’s a welcoming, supportive atmosphere where tails wag and friendships grow.
Curious if Play Days are right for you? Come by and see for yourself! Spectators are always welcome—and we’re happy to answer any questions you have.
