24K DIVING DOGS FREEDOM SPLASH 2022

Welcome to 24k Diving Dogs!!!!!

This event will be run as a normal “facility” event; your splash times will be the times that you signed up for when you registered for this event. Running order will be in alphabetical order (per dog) with exceptions being made for pre approved conflicts . All participants must check in with admin at least 30 minutes before their splash. Failure to check in at least 30 minutes prior may result in a change or forfeiture of the splash assigned. Once all participants for the splash have checked in a running order will be created. We will have a brief meeting prior to each splash and this briefing will also be posted. Missing a splash time will be a forfeiture of that splash.

We will do everything we can to stay as close to schedule as possible. You all can help us by making sure you give yourself time to get checked in NO LATER than 30 minutes before your scheduled splash time. If your splash time is 8:30am you must be checked in no later than 8:00am. Admin will be open at 7:00Am. Also please have your dogs ready when it’s their turn to jump. If you miss your turn, you will be moved to the BOTTOM of the splash. We will try to call out names of upcoming dogs but it is your responsibility to keep an eye on the running board list and have your dog in line when it’s your turn to jump.

You may set up crates and ez ups between the pool area and the fence line.

Before Hydro Dash and Air Retrieve, we will have a briefing that everyone must attend this briefing will be posted with the running order.  Remember according to NADD rules you must check in/pay with administration 30 minutes prior to your scheduled splash time.

You will be required to sign the waivers/liability release forms.  Once signed and checked in you will receive an armband.  You will not be allowed on the dock without an armband this goes for holders as well as throwers ANYONE on the property must sign the waivers.  Please try to keep your armband for the entire event.

ALL Parking will be in the field with the large tobacco barn.  The entrance is immediately past our driveway on the left. This area will include a handicap parking section marked off closest to the entrance to our pool area.  The HANDICAP parking is ONLY for those that have HANDICAP permits!!!!!!!

If you have a reactive dog and choose to participate in any Dock Diving activities here at 24k Diving Dogs you will be responsible for keeping your dog under your control at ALL times.  Feel free to use a basket muzzle if you like.  Keep ample space from all other dogs.  IF your dog lunges or causes any reactive incident you will be invited to leave and forfeit any or all monies due to 24k Diving Dogs or NADD.  We want all dogs to enjoy the sport of diving dogs however we must keep the sport safe for everyone and every dog. If you have a reactive dog take measures to keep your dog out of any incidents so that it can enjoy the sport as well.

Our weather is known to shift within minutes.  Generally, events will be held during light rain.  If there is lightning in the area everything will be cancelled or delayed.  All measures will be made to get all the splashes in. If we have poor weather, we may switch to the Cluster format… watch for announcements on the Facebook NADD Fan Page as well as check your email for any weather change announcements.

Please pick up ALL of your dog’s accidents anywhere on our property, failure to do so will result in you being asked to leave the grounds and forfeiting any monies owed 24k Diving Dogs and NADD. There will be poop buckets available for YOU to dispose of your dog’s poop.

Unless crated, dogs must be leashed at all times NO EXCEPTIONS!!!  Leashes cannot exceed 6’ in length.  Retractable leashes are absolutely prohibited.  Prong collars are allowed but must be removed before entering the dock.

Anyone who pushes or throws their dog into the pool or in any other way abuses their dog will be excluded from further participation andwill forfeit any splash or fees!

Absolutely NO dogs are allowed in the pond at any time or inside any of our training areas (agility ring, obedience ring, barn).  My neighbors have a horse arena directly across from my pasture.  If someone is riding a horse in the arena and dogs start barking at the horse this could result in the horse getting spooked and throwing the rider.  This is a safety issue and I truly thank you all for the understanding and help with this. 

Preferred methods of payment are cash or check. We accept all major credit cards with a 3% convenience fee.

No dogs shall be allowed off-leash in any part of the competition area, except for on the dock or in the water. Dogs should be kept under close handler control. A safe distance (approx. 8 ft.) must be kept between all dogs.

No Shows - PLEASE READ THE RULES REGARDING NO SHOWS!
