RULES:

First rule of our pack walks is to BE SAFE so that everyone has fun! All participants must comply to ALL guidelines below or will be asked to leave the event.

1. Participants limited to 20 people. RSVP is required to hold a spot. As soon as you know you cannot attend, cancel your reservation. We understand last-minute changes take place; however, if you don't show up more than two times you will be placed on the wait list for future events.
2. If you feel even slightly ill (including a headache, sniffles, minor fever or even an allergy), do not attend this event. Stay home for your health and safety of others. Remember to cancel your reservation.
3. Maintain a 6 foot distance from other participants not in your household.
4. Face mask/shield is optional. Please maintain a 6' distance from anyone choosing to wear a mask.

MEETING LOCATION: We will meet in the park where classes are normally held on the patch of grass between Huston St and the Tyrone Ave parking lot.

LARPBO PACK WALK GUIDELINES:

#1 All dogs must be on a secure collar and leash. Dogs using e-collars must also be on a leash. Prong collars should be backed up with a carabiner. Short leashes are recommended (less than 6 feet). Retractable leashes and harnesses are not allowed as they provide little control.

#2 PLEASE NO NOSE TO NOSE CONTACT (dog to dog that is). Always maintain a six-foot distance between dogs. There should be no dog-on-dog interaction.

#3 Please bring doggie poo bags.

#4 Make sure you bring water for you and your dog.

#5 One dog per handler. No exceptions!

#6 Share the road. Move to the right to let others pass.

• All breeds welcome.
• There will be foot traffic, critters, and several others dogs. If your dog tends to be reactive to any of these distractions, please be EXTRA mindful and prepared.
• If you have additional questions, please read the full basic LARPBO rules of conduct (https://www.meetup.com/LARPBOCOMMUNITY/messages/boards/thread/10461764/0/#39849559) in the discussion forum.
