How it works:  Master Challenge Standard and Master Challenge Jumpers courses will run at the same time in two different rings. You will have 2 minutes in the ring to run the courses or work on anything you wish. When all the jump heights have run twice in the MC Standard ring, the course will be changed to the Grand Prix Finals course. You may then walk and run this course twice. You may jump any height. Course maps will be available for all courses. Treats, toys and lavish praise are strongly encouraged on course.

Bitches in heat are allowed to participate in the fun match if they wear panties and are kept separate from the other dogs as much as possible. Some shade is available but bring your own in case it is all taken. Coffee, hot drinks and muffins will be available in the morning. There are water tubs to cool your dog if the weather is hot. We have plastic safety jumps, rubberized contacts, 24″ weave poles and break away tire.
