June 5, 2017 By Sydney Shapansky Leave a Comment

Woofstock 2017 Highlights

Backseat Barkers coverage of Woofstock 2017

Every year Woofstock is a haven for dogs and dog lovers alike. A place where your pup can try things like surfing, playing in a kibble ball pit or taking to the runway to strut their stuff. Whether your dog is just a pupper or an old boi, a borker or rocking a blep like this sweet wheely squish face here:

Woofstock is a place for any and every kind of dog to celebrate their cuteness on a sunny Toronto weekend. Check out our highlight reel of the festival here:

Our very own Backseat Barker Fishstick looks forward every year to the Running of the Pugs, pug race. He came in 2nd in his heat and gathered quite a crowd of people waiting to watch all the little piggies run their hearts out.

3 Furry Beauties and their brother Toby were absolutely stunning in the Ruff Stitched Fashion show. All 3 Furry Beauties dressed up as mermaids and Toby was granted the incredible honor of being named Mr. Canine Woofstock 2017! Congratulations!

And sat down for a spotlight interview with Jane from COPE after she put on an incredible demonstration in the Bullwrinkles Arena about how service dogs can help in more ways than you can imagine.

May 8, 2017 By Sydney Shapansky Leave a Comment

Your favourite talking dogs and all the laughs they bring are back and better than ever for the summer of 2017

The Laughs are Back and Better than Ever in 2017

Last year, Hugh’s dental conference brought Sophie, and Lottie and Fishstick to Toronto and this year we’re not waiting for an excuse to dive right back into the fun. The Backseat Barkers are back!

What You Missed If You Weren’t With Us Last Year

We had the time of our lives last year visiting Toronto and the Fairmont Royal York Luxury Hotel. We indulged our every whim then enjoyed so many fun activities and endless treats at Woofstock 2016!

Catch up on what you missed below with a romping round-up of our stupendously busy day at Woofstock where we visited with Fishstick’s rescue PugALug, the Dog Lovers Days Lure Course, A Pug Race (yeah, that’s right, a PUG race!) and saw friends old and new.

Get Ready For The Ride Of Your Life!

If you enjoyed our Award-Nominated Videos so far, get ready to have your socks knocked off with what’s coming your way this summer. Various Backseat Barkers are going on the road again and we’re bringing you along for the ride! Let our different dogs including the Super Collies and Fishstick’s witty banter and sibling rivalry fuel your laughter as you sit back, relax and enjoy. We’ll be sharing with you the inside scoop on everything dog-related and if your pupperinos haven’t learned to speak yet, fret not, cause Fish’ll do the talking for all of us as we check out hotels, training, shows, restaurants and all the parks a dog could dream of.

Are you excited for more of the Backseat Barkers? Do you ever travel with your dog? Will you be at Woofstock? What would you like to see us do this summer? Tell us in the comments!

About Backseat Barkers

Follow the adventures of The Backseat Barkers- a newly blended fictional family – Mom(Jess 25), Dad(Hugh 28) and the step-kids Fishstick the Pug and Lottie the Border Collie– on their road trip together across Ontario. Like step-kids everywhere, they are both a little jealous, they don’t like the changes in housing, rules and parenting styles and they are definitely not as keen on their new step-sibling as the parents are on each other. And they don't mind sharing their opinions.

We will also share behind the scenes news, tips on travel and pet care, real rescue stories (including Fishstick the Pug) product reviews, and other useful information for millennial pet lovers.
