THIS IS A CONTAINERIZED TRIAL – Food/Toys in pocket: Food or a small noiseless toy may be carried into the ring in your pocket provided it is contained in a ziplock bag or small container such as a pill bottle.

You are not allowed to remove the container until you are at least 10 feet outside the ring. All food and toys must be contained at the trial and none can be left lying about loose. This policy reduces the possibility of dogs fighting over loose food or toys, handlers being dragged back to wherever their reward was left, dogs ingesting items they’re allergic to, etc.

KENNELING: K enneling is on dirt, inside the same large covered arena as the agility ring. No canopies needed. Most exhibitors prefer placing their kennels/x-pens on top of a ground cloth. Bring your chair(s). Usually you can drop off your items at the arena and then proceed to the dirt parking area a couple hundred feet away. Because of the parking location, it is suggested you bring your “wheels”.
Should it rain the area around the arena and parking lot can get very muddy and driving near the arena may become restricted.
Creek Hollow Ranch is a beautiful working equestrian center. The owners allow us to explore the hills around the arena with our dogs, but ask that the dogs be kept away from the horses. There are lots of places to explore without going in the direction of the horses. Pick up after your dog, everywhere on the ranch. There is always the possibility of a horse show/seminar taking place in one of the other arenas and we may need to share part of the dog show’s parking area.
