Coach Dog Class

The Coach Dog Class pays tribute to the centuries-old tradition of dogs working alongside carriages. This class was held for the first time at the 2023 Nashoba Carriage Classic and was an instant crowd favorite. Watching dogs of various backgrounds and breeds work alongside the carriages is a real delight for our spectators! The concentration and technical skill required of the dogs and their handlers are impressive. All breeds are welcome, and the specifications of the class are provided in detail below.
