Directions:
Dogz ~ 3859 Carling Avenue ~ Nepean

• From the 417 take the March/Eagleson exit and go north
(right if you’re travelling west, left if you’re travelling east).
Turn right at the lights at Hertzberg Road – cross the railway
tracks – turn right at the lights at Carling Avenue. Dogz is
the first driveway on the left.

• From Carling, go west past Moodie Drive – under the
train bridge – Dogz is the last driveway on the right before
you get to the lights at Hertzberg Road.
PARKING will be located by the agility field – just follow
the signs at the end of the driveway.

Schedule of Events:
Check In 5:45 pm
Course Walk 5:45 pm
Judges Briefing 6:10 pm
1st Dog on the line 6:15 pm
There will be no familiarization but two jumps will be set up in a practice area. All runs will be timed but not judged, and there will be
a maximum run time allocated to each course.

Notice to Competitors:
This event will be run in accordance with AAC Regional rules and regulations, and you’ll get to do a walkthrough of each course prior
to the event starting. The purpose of this event is to practice regional level courses, however training will be allowed in the ring while
you are running your dog. Competitors will have the opportunity to run each course, with the second run offered after everyone has
completed their first round (time permitting). Runs will be timed but not judged, and help from spectators and handlers would be
much appreciated between runs to help things run quickly -

NOTE:
There is a fenced off-leash play area and acres of land to walk your dog during the match, however we do ask that you poopn-
scoop and keep your dog on a leash when outside of the agility and play rings as there are horses on the property…
