Rules
In order to have a safe and fun event for all the guests, participants, and pets involved, we ask that you follow a few simple rules!
1. ALL dogs must be on a leash or in a secure kennel, carrier, or enclosure. This includes small dogs that are being carried as well.
​
2. Children are NOT allowed to control the dog, ie holding the leash, holding the carrier, etc.
​
3. All pet waste must be disposed of properly, each owner is responsible for their own pet, waste disposal stations are available on the grounds and are marked on the map
​
4. Please maintain control of your pet and do not allow jumping, licking, or running; as a courtesy to other patrons
​
5. Please ask an owner before approaching their pet and get permission before interacting with it
​
6. Be respectful of others, be kind to the pets, and enjoy the day!
​
Other Helpful Tips:
