2011 Walking Challenge: Walk For Fun and Prizes

Don’t you and your pups love getting new stuff? I know mine do!

"We love getting these white boxes they always have goods in them!!"

Announcing the first ever Lessons From and For 4 Legs give away!

We are all doing so wonderfully with our walking goals for the 2011 Walking Challenge I wanted to give every one an extra boost by giving everyone a chance to win a walking related prize for their efforts.

The rules will be simple. (I’m not too into rules as those of you that are part of the challenge are already aware of.) But there will be some simple guidelines.

All winners will be drawn by a random number generator.

How do you enter? It’s simple! Everyone who is participating is automatically entered in the drawing for a great prize.

For a second chance to win a another prize all those that are on track with their personal goal will be entered for a second drawing.

A third prize will be awarded to those ambitious bloggers that do a post on how the 2011 Walking Challenge has helped them get out and about with their 4legged friends. Please include in the post the challenges you have faced and how you’ve over come them.

"Com'on over and join our Face Book page fun!"

One request I will make is that if you’re a Walking Challenge participant you hop over and “like” The Lessons From and For 4 Legs Face book Page. If you haven’t liked the page yet you’ve missed some exciting news, like poll on what is the highest reinforcer for you dog, how to help your 4legged friends pitch in for earth day and if you get your like in this week and you may be able to get a deal on pet friendly soy candles. A lot is going on over there!

I know normally a giveaway would be held as soon as possible so we all stay excited, but so we all have time to catch up on our miles the cut off date for entries will be July 1, 2011 at 12:00 AM Mountain Time, exactly 6 months into our challenge. That gives us exactly 10 weeks and four days to get caught up. We can do it!

The drawing will be held and announced on July 7, 2011 so that I have time to tabulate the results and put together a post.

What will you all be winning? All prizes will be handmade and fun tested by my own 4legged friends. In the running are a hand braided fleece leash, a leather collar, a treat/jackpott bag, a hand braided fleece tug, and a fluffy fleece mat. I’m still brainstorming what would make the best prizes for all of your hard work. I will post pictures as I decide what the prizes will actually be so you can all see what your working so hard for!

I truly believe the best prize of all is the extra time we’re spending with our 4legged friends, but a little incentive never hurt anyone! So I hope this will help us build excitement and motivation for our Walking Challenge.

"Seriously! Who could not love getting free goodies?"
