General Rules Of Competition

General Rules Of Competition

While each trial has its own set of rules regarding competition, there are some general "house rules" for the Triple Crown Events.

For rules specific to each trial please check that trial page for a link to those specific rules of competition.

For those competitions taking place at Chinguacousy Park, the City Of Brampton does have a leash law in effect, therefore all dogs must be leashed or crated when not competing on the field.

No Shock Collar use (either bark or remote) allowed on the competition site

All Local and Provincial ordinances must be adhered to and all dog owners are subject to the Dog Owners Liability Act

Please Be Aware that Ontario does have Breed Specific Legislation banning Pit Bulls, American Pit Bull Terriers, American Staffordshire Terriers, and Stafforshire Terriers.

Poop And Scoop is in effect > please be respectful of the venue and clean up after your dog

As a courtesy to other handlers, please ensure that dogs with 'space issues' regarding either dogs or people are kept at a safe distance from those things that will cause them to react.

Please be respectful of other peoples dogs and do not allow "friendly" dogs to get up in other dogs space.

Nature Breaks on the playing field >> Skyhoundz & SODH rules allow for time to be stopped while clean up is done, and then the round continues. USDDN gives point deductions

No fabric discs allowed in competition in any of the trials

All competing dogs should be in good physical condition and health, current on all innoculations as deemed necessary by the veterinary profession, and free from communicable conditions. It is not recommended that dogs under one year of age be competing at a high level > vaulting etc.

Female dogs in season not permitted on trial grounds

Remember this is a family festival so please avoid use of foul language & unsportsmanlike behaviour.

Thank You for your cooperation
