For those new to the sport of Agility, participation in the Run-thru is predicated on completing PCOTC's Agility Foundation Essentials and all Four of the Foundation Concentration classes or the equivalent.
Dogs must run either naked or with a flat buckle collar with nothing hanging or swinging from it.
All dogs, when not on the floor, must be crated. Please use the club's crates, your own travel crate or crate in your car, if your dog will be more comfortable.
PCOTC"s crating and waiting area is small and we request that handlers be sensitive to the environment and to the dogs waiting their turns.
Also, please note that choke or e-collars are not permitted. Bitches in heat must wear panties while in the facility.
