Bark in Boro Park will return to Tysons on Saturday, April 25, with agility challenges, training sessions, giveaways and spring activities for dogs and their owners.

The free event runs from 10 a.m. to noon at The Boro, 8350 Broad Street. A rain date is scheduled for Sunday, April 26, during the same hours.

Zoom Room Springfield will lead three 20- to 30-minute dog-training sessions beginning at 10 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. An agility course for dogs of all sizes will follow. Tickets are required to secure preferred training times, and late arrivals may lose their spots.

The two fastest dogs to finish the agility challenge will each receive a $100 gift card to a restaurant at The Boro.

Other activities include a station for decorating dog bandanas, personalized bone-shaped tag engraving, toys and treats, a build-your-own bone bar and a spring-themed photo opportunity. Children can make spring and Earth Day crafts, while glitter tattoos will be available for all ages.

The event is open to the public, though advance registration is encouraged. Dogs must remain leashed and accompanied by their owners. Giveaways and some activities will be offered while supplies last.
