For the health and safety of all dogs and people participating, I agree to observe the rules for canines attending the event with me. See below for rules:
- Participating dogs must be currently licensed with proof of Parvo and Rabies vaccinations. You do not need to bring proof with you; if an incident occurs, you must be able to produce proof in a reasonable amount of time.
- For safety reasons, “extend-a-leashes” will NOT be allowed. Dogs must be always kept on a regular leash. Leashes should be no more than six feet in length while on the course. If the event gets crowded, longer leashes can be extremely hazardous.
- Female dogs in heat are not permitted.
- Event officials reserve the right to refuse entry to any dog whose behavior could be dangerous to others. Please use good judgment regarding the temperament of your pet so that this event will be safe and enjoyable for everyone.
- Please be sure you and your dog are well-conditioned for this event.
