--- An Outdoor Arena (100ft x 85ft) equipped with competition equipment for Agility.
Please park at the back of the building. Take your leashed dog to potty BEFORE
entering the building. (pick up the poop! – garbage receptacle outside)
Patrons may not move dog walk or a-frame contact
equipment at any time.
Aggressive dogs are not allowed.
Bitches in season are not allowed. If you have a BIS, talk to Laura, as we may be able to do some accommodation.
For dogs training on agility equipment, prong, e-collars & choke collars are not allowed, nor is running on a loose leash. Many dogs have broken their necks while running agility wearing these collars or trailing a leash. They can easily snag in the tunnel or on the dog walk (if dog looses balance @ high speed) or potentially any piece of equipment.
Off-leash Sport Training:
Take Turns. If there are other dogs,
each dog is allowed 3-4 minutes doing agility, flyball, nosework, IPO, or rally
and then must allow the next dog their turn. Dogs need breaks and micro-sessions are most effective!
On-leash Training:
Communicate with others in arena, work in zones, work together if you
like, please pleasantly agree on how you are going to safely handle logistics.
Please do not allow your dog to meet or greet other dogs
without handler permission. Dogs who are working off-leash should have a solid
recall. We are happy to help you if your dog needs additional training :)
Only Adults will handle dogs. Older children will be approved on an
individual basis and with parental permission & liability release. We do not have facilities to accommodate
unattended children.
Please use the potty area behind the building, if needed,
and not our neighbor's landscaping. Pick
up the poop! We recommend that all dogs
go out every 15 minutes.
There is no soiling allowed in the arena. We know accidents happen. You must walk your dog before entering the arena. We suggest that you give your dog the opportunity to potty in between runs. Outdoor arena users must bring their own bottle of urine removal solution. You will have to pour it on the dirt to reduce the scent. If your dog soils on a piece of equipment, please clean it and notify a staff person immediately, so we can do more decontamination.
Bring a water bowl for your dog. In order for this to be the safest, healthiest environment for your dog, we do not have a communal water bowl. Cross-contamination is possible with dogs sharing water bowls. There is a water spicket nearby the gate.
Membership Excludes: Classes, private training, aggressive dogs
