Wags for Wishes expects hundreds of dogs to compete in a variety of events, including the fan-favorite splash dogs, plus field lure coursing, agility trials, disc dogs and more. This event is open to the public and open to all-breeds. Proceeds of the San Diego Wags for Wishes will benefit the San Diego Make a Wish foundation.

Lure coursing is one of the most exciting sports you can participate in with your dogs. Lure coursing is a chase sport done in a large open area in which the dogs chase a pretend bunny lure (in this case, a plastic grocery bag) that is tied to a nylon line and run around a series of pulleys at high speed over a grass or dirt field. The line is run by a machine (either reversible or single direction), and the dog chases the lure. It is one of the easiest and most fun things you can do with your dog and requires no training.
