There are very few facilities in Alberta that provide everything you need for hosting your dog show or agility competition. We pride ourselves on our customer service, and will set up whichever facility best suits your needs. We are client-focussed and will work to satisfy your needs, above all else. Our staff is very diligent about the security of your property and your access to our facilities during your rental period.

Eagle Hill Dog Obedience

Dog Obedience training sessions are held by the Eagle Hill Obedience Club indoors at the grounds from March to December. Established in 1992, EHOC has been very successful in creating happy dogs and happy owners. They help you establish a partnership between you and your pet that will last a lifetime. Basic pet obedience for novice dog owners is the specialty. You can also continue on to Advanced Obedience Classes, and after completion, you will be qualified to compete in Canadian Kennel Club trials. For more information, visit the Eagle Hill Obedience Club website.

Fionavar K9 Dog Agility Training

Dog Agility training sessions are held at the grounds all year long. Originally loosely modeled on equestrian stadium jumpers competitions, the sport has evolved its own additional obstacles, scoring systems and performance ideals. It's great fun for dog lovers of all ages.

We encourage canine organizations and associations to hold their meetings in Olds at our facilities. The Cow Palace Boardroom is available for meetings of 10 - 15 people, and larger groups can hold their meetings in the Cow Palace foyer. Please visit our Fees/Bookings page for current rental rates.
