We are committed to making this event a safe, welcoming, and inclusive experience for all dogs and their handlers.

• **NEW** this year, guests will be able to check in from the comfort of their car. As you enter the driveway for Muddy Road Brewery, our team will be there to give you all the info you need before parking.
• Professional dog trainer, Helen St. Pierre of No Monkey Business Dog Training, will be on-site to monitor dog body language, ensure that all participants are spread out comfortably, and help manage any concerns.
• Event tables and activities are spaced out to prevent crowding and allow guests to move through stations at their own pace.
• If you or your dog need assistance, visit the Safety Station near the barn and ask for Traci.
• We recognize that dogs have different comfort levels and temperaments. Our Social Ribbons System helps identify each dog’s personality and space needs, ensuring a positive experience for everyone. If needed, pick up one for your dog at the Safety Station.
• Some activities may involve dogs being in closer contact or sharing sensory exploration spaces. If you are concerned about the canine respiratory illness, we recommend avoiding these activities or choosing not to attend.
• Retractable leashes and aversive training tools are not allowed. This includes prong/pinch collars, choke collars, bark control devices, shock collars, and spray collars. All dogs must be on a 6-8 foot leash at all times.

To ensure a fun, safe, and environmentally friendly experience for all, please follow these event guidelines:

• Bring an Easter basket or reusable bag to collect eggs.
• At the end of the event, you may keep your eggs or return them to the designated recycling bins near the barn.
• Watch your dog carefully during the egg hunt. When their nose touches an egg, pick it up and place it in your basket. Do not allow your dog to put eggs in their mouth, as they could break.
• Dogs must be on a 6-8 foot leash at all times. Retractable leashes are not permitted.
• All dogs must be current on their rabies vaccination.
• Dogs showing signs of respiratory illness, such as coughing, sneezing, or runny nose, must not attend.

• Limit of two dogs per person. For maximum happiness, we recommend only one dog per person.
• Please pick up after your dog and dispose of waste in the provided trash receptacles.
• Respect the space and needs of all guests and their dogs by remembering that most dogs need additional consideration to feel safe and comfortable at this type of event.
