Fetch-n-Fish dog show

One of the highlights of the Louisiana Sportsman Show and Festival is the fabulous Fetch-N-Fish dog show, a fun family run business that promotes hunting, fishing and educational seminars with high-flying retrievers.

They will have exciting shows scheduled all three days. Come out and meet the stars of the show — Rio, Roxy, Boondock, and Jackpot! Oh yes, Jason Reynolds, too. He runs the show, or at least the dogs let him think he does. It’s a blast for the whole family!

Throughout the show, Reynolds will be featuring his high-flying dogs that will be jumping into his 41-foot-long bass tub and combining that with fishing seminars. The show invites audience participation, particularly from children who help mark the longest jumps — and might get wet in the process.

“Basically, what we do is a family fun program,” Reynolds said. “We talk a little about obedience, then a little about dog training, and I mix it with some fun games and some dog tricks. And the ultimate of the show is when I have the dogs jump in the fish tank. This is not just dog training — this is entertainment. This is something the whole family can relate to. The kids love it.”

But this show isn’t all about dog jumping: the 4,000-gallon tank also is stocked with bass and is used to demonstrate fishing tactics throughout the day.

“It’s a home run,” Reynolds said of the combined dog and fishing shows.
