We will be set up near the Long Beach class area at Heartwell park near the Ruth Bach Public Library
PARKING**: Free parking on the surrounding streets and in the parking lot at the park.**
WHAT TO BRING: Water for you and your dog. Bring treats for your pup to get their attention for the photo and reward them after, too!
DISTRACTION LEVEL**: Medium (other park visitors, other dogs, kids, birds, bikes/skateboards/scooters/strollers/etc. on nearby bike path)**

LARPBO EVENT 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!

• All breeds welcome.
• The park is busy on the weekends, there will be other people/children recreating in the park 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 LARPBO Event Rules and FAQs here
