BraveDog X

BraveDog X is where a year of Brave Girls Club training comes alive in a girl-and-dog trail and obstacle challenge, where each team works together to complete every obstacle along the course

- side by side, not just the dogs.

Throughout the year, clubs may choose to prepare for BRAVE X or BraveDog X by building skills for endurance, teamwork, and communication with their dog, through outdoor obstacles, trail runs and challenges.

At the end of the year, girls bring it all together by designing and completing their own dog-friendly trail and obstacle course—using natural terrain and creative challenges. They take the lead in planning, building, and running the experience, creating a high-energy outdoor event that showcases teamwork between girl and dog.

BraveDog X is flexible, optional, and shaped by each club’s interest. It can scale from a local club challenge to a larger community-style adventure event.

This is NOT like the National Dog Show you watch around Thanksgiving.

Instead, both girls and dogs complete all the obstacles together!
