AMAZING CANINES

NADD Facility Event COVID-19 Plan

May 1 and May 2, 2021

 OVERVIEW:

             As of April 26, 2021, the state of Arizona does not require a face mask or gloves to be worn. We are in a rural area.  Events may be held as long as there is enough room to accommodate the 6-foot distance requirement.  

            We are requiring that masks be worn when walking around the facility.  Once you are on the dock you may  take your mask off.  Before leaving the dock, put your mask back on. 

Please respect the 6-foot distance between people rule. Some of our competitors have 2 or more dogs entered; and some are only staying for a splash or two.   This will significantly lower the actual number of people attending.

            Please help us by staying 6-feet away from everyone, even friends unless you drove here with them.   The same 6-foot rule applies if you need to speak with the trial secretary, judges, etc

            Anyone who does not maintain a 6-ft distance might be asked to leave immediately and will forfeit their splashes/money.

 SOCIAL DISTANCING:

 Unfortunately, we will not be able to allow spectators.

Everyone must check in before entering the pool area.

No Exceptions.

Parking:  We will have a "loading/unloading" area for this event. 

Check-In.  There will be a table(s)to the right of the entrance gate.  There will be 6-ft ground markers leading up to the check in-desk.  A container will be on a table for:  1) NADD COVID-19 Waiver and 2) NADD Event Waiver.  Pliease remember these two Waivers must be completed, signed and dated prior to checking in.  They can be found on the NADD website and you may email them to me prior to the event:  mary@animalwatchers.com.

Payment.  Please have exact amount if paying by cash.  All checks need to be made payable to "Animal Watchers".  We will accept VISA or MC, but for this event it would be helpful to us (less contact with a person) if you can pay by cash or check.

Diving Order.  You will receive a "diving order of dogs"  the night before the event, or sooner.  The order will be by the dog's name, alphabetically or in reverse alphabetical order. We are doing this so you don't have to crowd around the Entrance Gate or the secretary's area looking to see when it's your turn.

Entering and Exiting the Grounds around the Pool:  There will be one gate to enter the pool vicinity and another to exit. They will be clearly marked.

Pool / Dock:  You will be entering the dock on the left staircase, again it is clearly marked Entrance.  You will be leaving the pool by the right side staircase.  There will be a divider between the 2 staircases.

Scores:  To avoid a gathering of people, we encourage you  to check your scores on the NADD website.  They are normally posted a few minutes after the secretary enters them.

 Ribbons:  Ribbons will not be given out after each splash.  The ribbons are not self-serve.  One of our staff members (taking all the necessary safety precautions) will place all of your Qualifying ribbons for the event in a plastic bag. For  "new title" ribbons as well as Advanced and Excellent titles, you must pick up at the trial secretary's table.

If you are staying for both days, your ribbons for Saturday can be picked up anytime on Sunday before the competition ends. 

If you are done with your splashes before Splash 4 or Splash 8, we will do our best to get your ribbons ready in a timely manner. 

Leaving the Event Grounds:  When your splashes are finished for the day, please exit the grounds as soon as you can.  The less people we have on the grounds the easier it is to maintain 6-feet from other people.

Please remember the 12 acres where the pool is located is not fenced in.

 Bathrooms.  For this event our inside bathroom will not be available for use.  We will have 2 Port-a-Potties:  one by the gate to enter the pool area; and one by the agility field.    etc.  Hand sanitizers will be available right next to the port-a-potties.  Hand sanitizers will be next to both port-a-potties.
