TRIAL INFORMATION

Please Note: NO Lunch break

TNT will have light refreshments and snacks by donation or there is plenty of nearby food options within 5 min drive.

Equipment Reminder

  • Collar / Harness: A flat buckle, snap collar or a fixed harness and a leash are the ONLY approved equipment in the ring! When a fixed harness is used, the leash must be attached to the back.
  • Leashes:should be long enough to provide adequate slack. Hands free leashes are acceptable.

SITE INFORMATION

The Mighty building is fully matted and heated. However note the building is kept on the cool side in consideration of the working dogs. We recommend dressing warm and in layers for your comfort.

PLEASE assist us in keeping the mats clean by ONLY entering with clean feet both humans and dogs.  As we wish to limit post trail cleaning for the host and volunteers.

CHAIRS WILL BE PROVIDED to avoid any outside chairs with dirt.

Warm up area

This will be in the trial building next to the ring. A fence barrier and a buffer will be in place but no visual barrier. This area will be for “On deck” and “In the hole” dogs.  A separate ring entrance is in place. This will have a gravel outdoor space for warming up for dogs that have big feelings while getting ready!

Spectating and Social Area

Crating and viewing area is near the ring exit or west side of the building.

Crating

Please Crate in your vehicle if possible.There is limited indoor crating as it’s in the trial building next to the ring but separate from the warm up area. It will be first come first serve. NO Ex-Pens, crates only to protect the rubber flooring.

Crating is Limited to ensure the success and enjoyment of the competitors while warming up and in the ring.  Dogs that need it can enjoy indoor crating, only suitable for quiet dogs! Please be aware and courtesy for a calmer atmosphere.

Parking & Entrance

There will be designated parking beside the Mighty building away from the pet class building & Time 4 Dogs Boarding  The Mighty Building is the first building as you come up the driveway.

  • We will have parking attendants available to help get you settled!
  • No Parking on the grass unless directed by an attendant.
  • Please Note: Parking is limited so we do ask that, if possible, unless volunteering, people do not arrive more than an hour before your class and if the parking lot fills to leave within a short time after your runs are completed to make sure there is room for everyone.
  • DO NOT PASS on the driveway, it is a one-lane driveway, pull over and wait for the  vehicle to pass you.  Please Go slow!

Rally Trial Information

IS THIS YOUR FIRST TRIAL?: 

Before you register for your first trial, you’ll just need a dog ID number for CARO, which you can get super quickly here: https://www.canadianrallyo.ca/page/registerdog

(please note it will open weird on a mobile device sometimes – if that happens, click “view full page” then the english words on the left and then under the Dogs Tab you’ll find Registration)

Then you’re good to go to register once the link is released! If you don’t have your Dog ID by then, no worries! Simply just write “pending” in the dog ID spot and then just email us when you receive the number :)

Dog ID’s are a one-time payment for the lifetime of the dog. 

However, there is also a HUMAN membership that you can pay for yearly that gives you access too a number of perks including: a log-in that allows you to see and track all of your dogs Q’s electronically AND a $10 discount on your dog memberships!

So if you are thinking you may want to become a member, I recommend filling out that form first and THEN doing your dog registration after, so that you get the discount!
