Duncanville, TX: Camp Bow Wow® South West Dallas invites friends and neighbors to join them for a dog-gone-wild foot-stomp’n, fur-step’n Grand Opening Hoedown on Saturday, January 16, 2010 from 10 am to 2 pm. The upscale Doggy Day and Overnight Camp at 519 E Highway 67, has pulled all stops to guarantee a howling good time for people and pups of all ages. Admission is free.

Camp owner and Top Dog, Stacey Copeland is celebrating the grand opening of her divine digs for dogs Dallas-style. Deloris Petty, Dallas’ very own Dog Whisperer will make a personal appearance at the event. Petty, a canine behavior specialist is known as the Alfa Dog by all pouting pups and harassed hounds that have attended her training sessions. Petty studies how a dog carries himself/herself – ears perked or droopy; tail wagging or down; the expression on his/her face – then relates to him through body language, a light-touch and calm authority to correct behavior problems. She’ll be on hand to provide some simple tips for training your dog, and will be happy to arrange for a one-on-one session for those pugnacious pups that need a more focused approach.

“We’ve planned a dog-gone-wild afternoon for people and pups of all ages,” said Copeland, “Deloris’ appearance is the icing on our cake! I love that she shares our philosophy and trains every dog as the unique individual he/she is.”

“At Camp Bow Wow it’s all about the dogs,” continued Copeland, “that’s why we’ve planned festivities dogs can dig right along with their parents. So bring your dog down to the party even if he hasn’t had a Camp Bow Wow interview yet. The pups that have passed their interview will be invited to run with the packs in our play yards. Unfortunately those that haven’t will be asked to remain leashed.”

Have a mischievous mutt that wants to run when you want him to walk? Talk with a representative from the Dog Trainers Club of Dallas Central. Watch demonstrations of daring search and rescue maneuvers by members of Duncanville’s own K-9 unit under the command of Officer McCorkle and Lt. Schenault. Learn more about the organic dog food and treats made by Blue Buffalo Dog Food and Brewster’s Barkery. For those who’d like to get more involved with the children in the community, representatives from the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program will be on hand with information on how you can help. Puppy parents can also tour the Camp and register for door prizes while their children enjoy doggy inspired activities or jump the day away in the Bounce House. Hungry humans can satisfy their cravings with Chick-Fil-A sandwiches and other tasty treats. Looking for the pawfect pup-mate, look no further: the Tri-City Animal Shelter will have plenty of pups available for adoption. KVIL radio will be broadcasting live from the festivities from 11 am – 1 pm with DJ Tony Zazza as the master of ceremonies.
