VVDAC FIELD RULES & GUIDELINES
1. No one may use the agility or obedience fields unless they are a club member, have signed a waiver, and have been authorized by a board member or trainer. SAFETY is the # 1 priority.
2. All dog poop must be picked up and appropriately disposed of. Peeing in the ring is discouraged. Dogs should be pottied prior to entering the ring.
3. All contact equipment should be left at regulation heights. If you lower the A-frame, teeter, or dog walk, you must return it to the regular height when you are done. Also, put the A-Frame back up on it’s wheels.
4. If a course or exercise has been set and there is indication that it should be left up, you may modify sections to set up training exercises for your dog, but then you must return the course as it had been originally set.
5. The rings are open to all members to practice. If others are using the training rings, you must either wait until they have finished or until you are invited to join them. Members who wish to practice, have priority over dogs that are loose and playing in the rings.
6. Do not allow your dog to dig holes or play with equipment or training aids.
7. If setting up training aids such as gates, hoops, or targets, return them to the section of the field where they are usually stored.
8. Children and non participating adults are not allowed on the equipment.
9. Members taking classes should be prepared to arrive early to set up the class exercise or course, and should be prepared to assist with storing equipment after class has concluded.
10. All broken or damaged equipment should be reported to the training director as soon as it is noticed, so that repair or replacement can be arranged. Please remember that a lot of the equipment is on loan from other people, so be respectful to all and treat it as if it were your own.
11. Make sure the gates to the rings are closed upon leaving the field.
12. All people using the field must wear appropriate shoes.
13. Be considerate of the Jochim's, other members and neighbors by keeping your dogs from barking too much.
14. NO SMOKING anywhere on the VVDAC grounds.
