Canada's Next Top Adventure Dog
Voting Season · Sept 1 – Oct 5

Weekly challenges.

Five weeks, five themes. Post your dog on Instagram with #topadventuredog and tag @topadventuredog. Our favourites get reshared to the whole pack, and the weekly standout earns +10 bonus votes for their dog — and in the final two weeks the stakes more than double to +25. The judges are watching too — challenge entries are wildcard fuel.

⛰️
Week 1 · Sept 1 – 7
Summit Snaps

Your dog on top of something. A peak, a bluff, a very large log. Bonus stoke for wind-blown ears.

🐷
Week 2 · Sept 8 – 14
Muddiest Dog

The filthier the better. Show us the aftermath. Before/after shots are elite content.

🌊
Week 3 · Sept 15 – 21
Water Dogs

Lakes, rivers, ocean, puddles of ambition. Splash zone photography strongly encouraged. Standout wins +10 votes.

💨
Week 4 · Sept 22 – 28
Trail Zoomies

Full send. Action blur is a feature, not a bug. Reels absolutely count. ⚡ Double stakes: standout wins +25 votes.

🏕️
Week 5 · Sept 29 – Oct 5
Basecamp Buddies

Camp life: tents, tailgates, campfire supervision duty. The cozy side of adventure. ⚡ Double stakes: standout wins +25 votes.

How it works

  1. Post your photo or reel to Instagram during the challenge week.
  2. Use #topadventuredog and tag @topadventuredog (public accounts so we can see it).
  3. We reshare our favourites all week. The weekly standout earns +10 bonus votes for their entered dog (weeks 1–3), rising to +25 bonus votes in the final two weeks. Winners announced at the start of each new week.
  4. Dog not entered yet? Challenges are open to everyone, but only entered dogs can earn the bonus votes.
