Clean Run - October 2011 - 56
Be supportive if the run did not go as planned. If something you saw went well in the run mention it. If your friend is visibly upset, give her time to compose herself before approaching.
· · ·
Befriend a newbie! Be an ambassador for the sport. Answer spectator questions. If you are on your way into the ring let them know you can talk after your run. Keep an eye out for other exhibitor’s dogs. If you notice a dog unzipping his soft crate, stay with the dog and ask someone to make an announcement calling the owner. If you notice spectators encroaching upon crated dogs, ask them to move back and explain why. Keep an eye on your children. During your run ask a friend to mind them. Smile! If you see a nice run compliment the team! Don’t take course maps for classes you are not running in. However, feel free to take any maps that are left over at the end of the day.
· · · ·
Wait until your friend has rewarded the dog for the run before engaging in conversation. Don’t ask about qualifying. Ask how the run went. Be supportive if the run did not go as planned. If something you saw went well in the run mention it. If your friend is visibly upset, give her time to compose herself before approaching. Don’t squash your friend’s joy over the run even if you noticed something that did not go well. It may be helpful to point something out but do it at an appropriate time.
#8: Be considerate to volunteers, judges, the trial committee, and the trial secretary.
· · · · · · · · ·
Carefully review your confirmation. If changes are necessary notify the trial secretary in a timely fashion. Follow directions for move-ups. Be patient when waiting for results and ribbons. Volunteer. Show inexperienced volunteers what to do. Appreciate volunteers and if possible compensate them (preferred crating, water, snacks, raffles, vouchers). Don’t partake of the “perks” if you have not worked. If you are watching runs don’t ask the judge to move so you can have a better view of the ring! Thank the judge and host club.
· · · · · · · ·
but if you must do so, crate them. Leave an emergency number. Do not leave if they are likely to bark in your absence. Many motels accommodate requests for a small fridge and a microwave for your convenience. Brush your dog outside and pick up the hair. Don’t use hotel tubs or towels to bathe your dog or wipe his feet. If your dog sheds excessively pick up hair with a lint roller. Keep your dogs on leash. Maintain distance from other dogs. Have your dogs sit in the elevator or carry them. If the elevator is crowded use the stairs or wait for one less crowded. Keep your dogs out of the hotel pool. Be sure your dog is wellgroomed and flea-free. Keep the noise down (or include everyone in your party). Secure garbage from critters. Don’t leave food out. Extinguish all fires (fire pits/barbecues).
· · ·
# 7: Be considerate of your instructor/student.
· ·
#6: Be considerate of your friends.
· ·
Don’t expect your instructor to walk your course and/or tell you how to handle it. This is your final exam! If they offer help don’t overwhelm them with questions. Don’t forget to say thanks! Encourage and support your students, especially those new to the sport. Guidance and/or a positive comment coming from an instructor can mean a lot. If students are having a difficult time with a specific skill at a trial, let them know you will work on it in class.
Don’t distract your friend’s dog before a run. Wish them good luck without saying the dog’s name. Cheer or clap for friends but don’t call out their dogs’ names until they have regained control of their dogs at the end of a run.
# 9: Be considerate when staying at a motel or camping on site in a tent or RV. Pick up the poops! Respect the designated potty areas. Bring sheets to cover furniture if you are going to allow your dog(s) on beds. Don’t leave your dogs alone in your room;
#10: Last, but not least, have fun with your dogs and enjoy your time together. D
