The following are General Event Rules:

 

NO RETRACTABLE LEASHES!

No abusive treatment of dogs will be permitted during or outside of competition.

Only ONE dog may be off lead at a time

Dogs showing dangerous behaviors will be disqualified for the safety of all.

Handler is required to maintain control of dog, on leash, at all times unless directed otherwise. Failure to control your dog will result in point loss or disqualification.

In the case of a dog biting a person, the offending dog’s owner will be asked to leave the event site immediately. Incident will be reviewed for severity. Second offense will be a permanent ban from all TDG events.

No fighting allowed amongst handlers. Incident will be reviewed before judgment is given.

Respect the personal space (and social distance) of others. When in line, it is your responsibility to be aware of the dog and human in front of you and behind you, keeping your dog out of reach of all others. Maintain a 6ft distance. When walking with your dog, be aware of all other dogs and humans around you. When in the Staging or tenting areas, please do not touch the property of others without permission. This includes but is not limited to dogs, kennels and all other belongings.

All competitors and staff must conduct themselves in a civilized manner, which reflects the values of Titan Dog Games. Unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated. Common sense prevails.

We are a family friendly environment... Please refrain from political discussions, foul language or derogatory statements, or smoking.

Everyone MUST check-in with the Secretary at least 30 minutes before EACH Sport on the event schedule.

Every one who wants to participate at TDG MUST have a Liability Waiver on file with us – there are no exceptions.

Each Sport will have 3 Divisions: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced. Scores will be tallied and dogs in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in each Division in each Sport will receive an award. 5 Titan Dog Games trophies will be given to the top 5 dogs with the most points... But to be considered for the Titan Dog Games top 5 trophies, your dog must enter the Intermediate or Advanced divisions in Detection and Protection.

TDG reserves the right to refuse admittance to anyone.

We also retain the right to ask anyone to leave our event at our discretion.

 

Please also see the rules on each individual Sport: Dock Jumping, 40-Yard Dog Dash, Protection, and Detection, as well as our General Event Rules.

 

Have Fun and Be Safe!
