RULES & GUIDELINES -- NOTICE TO USERS

Dog Safety

THE SAFETY of dogs is our primary concern. By using the equipment, participants acknowledge that they are familiar with the sport of Dog Agility, and that their dogs are familiar with and able to perform all obstacles safely. The outdoor ring is fenced (4-feet high), but it will not contain a dog determined to escape. We assume no liability.

 

Use of the Property

You are welcome to walk your dog(s) before and after your practice session. However, we assume no liability. There are ticks. At times there are coyotes, deer and other wildlife nearby. Please be considerate of others using the agility field.

 

DRIVING ON AREA ROADS Please use caution when driving in the area. Roads are gravel and there are some tight curves. Animals are often on the roadways. As well as wild animals, there can be cattle and horses. Drive very slowly on our driveway. For much of the spring/summer we have young Kildeer roaming about and they blend in to the gravel.

 

PARKING There is a gravel parking area near the training building. We assume no liability for damage to your vehicle; nor will we pay any towing fees.

 

PORTA-POTTY There are no washrooms (or running water). A Porta-Potty is provided for your use.

 

USE OF EQUIPMENT Feel free to move jumps and tunnels to suit your practice session. Please do not move the Dogwalk or A-Frame. The teeter may be moved if there are two or more people assisting. PLEASE REPORT ANY DAMAGED OR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. Again, do not to move the contact equipment. We assume no liability for any injuries incurred while you are moving equipment.

BEHAIVIOR WHILE ON THE PROPERTY Humane and positive training only is to be practiced at all times.
