Summer festival

Here are some pics and videos from the summer festival that they had in town. the first day there was a parade and 2 k9 demos. I really enjoyed watching the demos. but Benny was better behaved than a police dog! I had to leave Benny in a down/stay off to the side while i went to take pictures because the cop said that his dog couldn't work with my dog around. hmm... i thought those dogs were trained to work with distractions?? but anyway i enjoyed it. the second one was a drug sniffing dog that works for border patrol to sniff out drugs in cars. it was really hot out so Benny wore his boots for the first time to protect his feet from the hot pavement. He was fine with them because luckily i had practiced having him wear them and walk in them at home before i actually needed them. I got TONS of comments from people about them. alot asked why he had boots on and of course i just said because of the hot pavement. but i really felt like asking them if they would walk barefoot on the hot sidewalk, they say no, and i would say my point exactly!
At night, they also had a street dance in town with a bunch of concession booths. i practiced with Benny in that very distracting enviroment and he was really good and heeled perfectly despite tons of people including kids (some on bikes and skateboards), food on the ground and VERY loud music!
the second day of the festival, they had some food booths and a border patrol helicopter, rescue boat and K9 demo down at the boat landing.
