Labor Day Recovery Qualifier Splash at Paws 4 Fun

Recover from your holiday weekend by playing with your dog at our Labor Day Recovery Qualifier Splash!

COVID PLAN – Lincoln and Lancaster County remain under a Mask Mandate DHM inside public buildings through September 30^th, 2020. Our event is running as normal, but we continue to encourage social distancing. Masks are not required outside. Hand sanitizer will be available.

THIS IS A NADD QUALIFIER EVENT – see notes above for additional information on how to qualify. (Competitors must complete 3 splashes to qualify in addition to other requirements.)

REGISTRATION INFO:

• If you pre-register, you must pay for all splashes at the time of initial check in. If you choose not to pay for all splashes at that time, you will be removed from the remaining unpaid splashes. If you then choose to add splashes later, it WILL be at the day-of show price of $28 per splash.
• You MUST arrive and register AT LEAST 30 minutes prior to your first splash of the event.
• Handlers meeting and Roll Call will be 15 minutes before each splash for all competitors. We will review any rules questions and set the running order, which will be posted on the whiteboard at the entrance to the dock.
• Friday Registration and open dock practice open at 2pm.
• Saturday and Sunday Registration and open dock practice open at 7am.
• Running Order will be alphabetical by dog’s name. Friday/Saturday are A to Z, Sunday is Z to A.

OTHER INFO:

• Off Street parking in front of our building. Pool is in the back of the facility. Please stop at our front desk and let them know you are here for the dock diving event. They will do a quick check over your dog and bring you to the pool area for check in and staging areas. All dogs entering our facility get a quick check for any visible contagious warts, fleas, or any injuries we need to be aware of. This is for the safety of all dogs entering our facility.
• Our primary crating area will be inside, down half a flight of stairs from the doors to the pool. This area is one of our indoor play parks which is air conditioned and has K9 Grass. There will be a small amount of crating space available outside in the yard near the pool, but as there is limited shade, we recommend utilizing our primary crating area inside. Assistance will be available if you need help getting your dog up and down the stairs due to health concerns.
• We have a fairly small parking lot, so easy-ups will be on a first-come, first-serve basis in the parking lot. Tents will be allowed in the pool area depending on available space.
• Indoor Restrooms available
• Photos will be posted in the week after the event on our Facebook page
• Lunch options provided by Lulu’s on N St. both Saturday and Sunday
• Please review the NADD Rulebook on the website if you are new to NADD or diving dogs
