Exhibitors should follow their veterinarian s recommendation to assure their dogs are free of internal and external parasites, any communicable diseases, and have appropriate vaccinations. Proof of current vaccinations, including rabies, must be available at the trial if requested. All dogs must be held on leash or crated at all times except when in the ring or in the designated agility warm up area. Dogs must be exercised in marked areas only. Dogs are not required to be at the trial until the scheduled time of judging. Exhibitors are responsible for being at ringside when it is their turn to run. Judges need not wait for dogs who are holding up the class. An exercise area will be provided. All handlers must pick up after their dogs. Anyone not cleaning up after their dogs or exercising their dogs in prohibited areas will be asked to leave. In such case, no refund of any fees paid will be made. It is expressly understood that exhibitors alone are responsible for the behavior of their dogs and/or children. Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Trial Committee, be asked to leave the trial site. In such case, no refund of any fees paid will be made. The Trial Giving Club assumes NO responsibility for any loss, damage, or injury sustained by exhibitors, handlers, or any of their dogs or property and further assumes no responsibility for injury to children. Owners/handlers enter at their own risk and agree to assume responsibility for any damage caused by them, their dogs, or their children.
