Rally and Obedience

Run Thrus

31

July

Dog Gone Good is hosting an Obedience & Rally Run Thru on Saturday, July 31.  These Run Thrus are scheduled one week prior to HROTC’s Obedience and Rally Trials to be held at Dog Gone Good’s Training facility on August 7 & 8.

RULES

  1. All registrations MUST be submitted via e-mail by 6pm on Tuesday, July 27.
  2. Payment will be collected the day of the run-thru by check (payable to Dog Gone Good) or exact cash to minimize handling of paperwork and money. Fees are $5 for each Rally Run and $7 for each Obedience run.
  3. Only persons entered in the run-thru are allowed in the building. Each person will sign a Waiver of Liability and a COVID Waiver.   It is suggested that these be printed out and completed ahead of time but they will be available on site.
  4. We will follow state mandated rules as far as masks, but we will also follow the COVID protocols to be followed at HROTC’s trial. After all, we are prepping for the trial!
  5. Because there is only one ring, Rally will start at 8am and Obedience will follow.
  6. All runs will be in order of class and jump height to minimize resets.
  7. Everyone will be notified of the earliest start time for your earliest class, via email, as soon as practical, after registration closes.
  8. Crating, in your own crate, is allowed but we ask that you not arrive too early before your run to minimize congestion in the building.
  9. Ring procedures will simulate how things are being handled at trials, as per AKC instruction.
    1. Cones will be used for figure 8’s.
    2. Stewards will not handle leads except with tongs or clean gloves.
    3. Utility articles and gloves will be handled by stewards using tongs or clean gloves.
  1. Time in the ring will be limited to actual Run Thru without excessive training in the ring. Training equipment (e.g. go-out targets) will not be allowed. Handlers are expected to respond to judges commands as they would in a trial. Repeats of exercises will be limited to one repeat and will only be allowed for a few exercises.
  1. While it is not recommended to use food and toys in the ring as you practice for a trial, it will be allowed. Please be neat and use food that will not crumble.
