What Ella Wore and Ate at Terminal Takeover 2026
Ella, our shop dog, rode along to Downshift Nation's Terminal Takeover in her black and white checkered Sniff and Shift Pet Treats bandana, a red harness with her name spelled out on it, and a bag of training treats close by all day. The show ran at Reading Airport in Reading, Pennsylvania, and this post is about what we packed for her.
Between stops at the hangars, she sat for a portrait near a dark aircraft engine exhaust nozzle, her name harness catching the light, and later posed for an overhead close-up of her face and bandana against a blurred red backdrop. The bandana and harness are part of her standard kit for any show, easy to spot in a crowd and easy to grab if she wanders.
The treats did the real work of keeping her calm through the engine noise and the crowds. We rotate through our cheddar cheese bites, freeze-dried beef liver, and the rest of our freeze-dried lineup depending on what is in the bag that day, and Ella has never once turned any of them down.
