*Nested Starters and Advanced Standard and Jumpers Courses*

*Limited to 15 handlers*

Cost (for unlimited runs):  $50 first dog, $25 each additional dog, pre-registration. Day of Registration only if event has not filled. No refund of entry fees after the closing date but credit will be issued for future fun matches.

Closing Date: Preregistration closes Friday, October 18, or when limit is reached.

Start Time: Walk throughs- 8:45am. First run- 9:00am. Please do not arrive before 8:30am.

Who can sign up:  All dogs must be one year or older, have at least six months of agility lessons and be able to do all equipment safely.  NO running dogs on equipment on leash allowed. ***Due to limited parking, spectators coming in their own vehicles must have preapproval to attend fun matches***

How it works:  Standard and Jumpers courses will run at the same time in two different rings. There will be both Advanced and Starters courses numbered in each ring. You will have 90 seconds in the ring to run the courses or work on anything you wish.  You may jump any height. Course maps will be available for all courses. Treats, toys and lavish praise are strongly encouraged on course. Laura will be available for help with course walking and handling ideas.

Other Stuff:  Please clean up after your dog and don’t allow your dog to bark excessively. Heart Dog Agility is in a residential neighborhood and we must keep barking to a minimum. Some shade is available but bring your own in case it is all taken, crating from the car is easy as rings are adjacent to parking.  There are water tubs to cool your dog during hot weather. All rubberized contacts are used.

Dogs that are aggressive towards people or other dogs or who are barking excessively will be asked to leave without refund of entry fees. No harsh verbal or physical corrections allowed.  Bark, shock, prong or choke chain collars are not allowed on the grounds.

Weather:  All fun matches will be held rain or shine, unless it is a giant rain storm. If you would like to cancel due to the weather, send an email by 7:00am and your check will be shredded, PayPal account refunded or a credit for future fun matches will be issued. Please check this page by 7pm the night before the Fun Match for weather status.
