Important Details:

• Please arrive at the pool at least 45 minutes before your scheduled jump to allow time for you to check in, set up your crate, and get in a practice jump.  Crates are optional but recommended.  They provide a great place for your dog to relax in between sessions.  Please check in at the registration desk next to the pool.
• There is a designated area for Pier Pups competitors to set up a pop up tent (10’ x 10’ maximum) located along the side of City Hall on South Market Street.   No staking of tents is permitted due to an underground irrigation system.  There is also space on the lawn in front of City Hall.  Please spread out and respect other competitor’s space when selecting a spot for your tent or crate.
• Participant parking will be located in the surface lot behind City Hall (south side). There will be a temporary drop off area located on Market Street. Please move vehicle once drop off is complete.
• All dogs must have proof of current rabies and distemper shots, females must not be in heat, and all dogs must be properly socialized.  Please bring a copy of your rabies certificate and proof of vaccination.
• All dogs must be on no more than a 6’ leash at all times except when exhibiting.  Please, NO retractable leashes.
