Rules
Our club has seen a surge in attendance at our monthly race practices, and we need to introduce some new procedures.
- Our race practices are open only to sighthounds.
- The first round of practice will be for GSDCWA members only and will begin at 8:00am. Anyone (including members) arriving 15 minutes or later after we start will join in on the second round.
- Start time is 9:00am for non-members. If we have started the second round prior to 9:00am, we will fit you in.
- Non-members' dogs will get a third run at the end of practice, if time permits.
- We will run three rounds of practice as usual, but with a maximum of 30 runs per round. (This is 30 runs, not 30 dogs, so those who have trained dogs are encouraged to run their dog/s with another to maximize our time.)
| Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | If time allows | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8:00am | 9:00am | |||
| Members | 1st run | 2nd run | 3rd run | |
| Non-members | 1st run | 2nd run | 3rd run |
Time
- Most practices are on the 4th Sunday of the month from 8:00am to 12:00pm (see schedule above)
- Please be on time or we won't be able to give your dog all its runs!
Cost
- $5 per dog for GSDCWA members
- $10 per dog for non-GSDCWA members
What to Bring
- a secure crate for each dog
- snug-fitting collar on each dog that they can't back out of (martingale collar recommended)
- 2 leashes (1 for releasing and 1 for the catcher)
- water and bowl for dog(s)
- chair for yourself
