Any exhibitor whose dogs and/or children create unnecessary disturbances or repeatedly engage in unsafe or disruptive behavior may, at the discretion of the Trial Committee, be asked to leave the show site.

Bitches in heat, lame or blind dogs are ineligible for entry, as is any dog with a deformity that may cause a judge to not be able to reasonably assess the dog’s ability to function and perform agility obstacles safely, and in a manner that is in the best interest, health and welfare of the dog. Any dog that demonstrates aggression towards any person or any dog, whether inside the ring or outside the ring, must be excused from the agility trial. Any dog that the judge feels is not in enough control to perform all obstacles in a safe manner will be excused from the agility trial. Entry fees will not be refunded in the event that a dog is absent, disqualified, excused, or barred from completion by action of the Judge or Trial Committee.
