To make it as comfortable as possible for all competitors, please use the chairs provided and use only the indoor space you need for crating. If you have a barking dog please make an effort keep it quiet or crate it outside of the building.
Mind your dog at all times, we will be in close quarters. Do not let un-proofed dogs meet.
Keep the floor clean of litter and food. If any of the CCDTC facilities need attention please let an official or Judge know ASAP, before it becomes a bigger problem.
Be mindful of the run order and have your dog walked and ready when you are called, “On Deck”. A smooth running event is better for everyone.
