Information for Registered Attendees

Thank you for signing up for our “Intro to Tracking” clinic on Saturday November 12. We look forward to seeing you.

This event will happen rain or shine — come prepared for the weather. The Day use area we have reserved is covered and has power, water and picnic tables.  Here is the address:

The Park charges $5 per car to enter.

First session will start at 8:00am and end approximately 12:00pm.

Second session will start at 12:45pm and end approximately 4:45pm.

We will have hot water and a variety of hot beverage choices.  If you have something specific that makes you feel warm and fuzzy feel free to bring it.  No alcohol though.   We will have some light snacks through the day, bring something to share if you’d like. 

Remember, this event will be held rain or shine. We will be out working in the fields regardless of the weather. Please plan to bring appropriate clothing (including footwear). Lectures will be held in an open- sided covered building. There are public restrooms available for our use.

Bring a harness and long line if you have them available (there may be some available). No Flexi leads! Please bring a 6’ leash and a flat buckle collar for your dog and high value treats.

Participating dogs may be crated inside the covered meeting area. Non-participating dogs should be left at home unless they are comfortable and quiet residing in your vehicle throughout the day. All dogs are welcome to be walked on leash (no flexi leads) during breaks and lunchtime. No exercise pens. 

No bitches in season allowed: If your bitch comes in season, please let us know as soon as possible. You will have the option of bringing a different dog or changing the status from working to auditor (with partial refund). Your bitch in season should stay home.

Portland Dog Obedience Club is having an AKC Tracking Test the day after this event and will be laying out their test tracks on Saturday, we don’t want to interfere with their tracks.  Please do not bring a dog if you are auditing.
