We are counting on you to be on your best behavior in order to maintain the working relationship with our motels and campgrounds. Our hard-earned reputation, as well as our ability to continue hosting trials, is certainly on the line and dependent on YOUR cooperation. We follow up on any complaints from motel owners or guests, so please report any issues to us.
¨ Of course, as is standard agility procedure, all handlers/owners will pick up after their dogs. Please bag and dispose of dog waste properly.
¨ Please cover the motel’s bedding with a sheet or blanket from home, whether or not you think your dog will get on the bed.
Don’t EVER leave dogs unattended. Take them with you when you go out for dinner. Even the best of dogs can get carried away in a motel room without you present.
