HOTELS
motel courtesies to observe
We are counting on you to be on your best behavior in order to maintain the working relationship with our motels and campgrounds. Our hard-earned reputation, as well as our ability to continue hosting trials, is certainly on the line and dependent on YOUR cooperation. We follow up on any complaints from motel owners or guests, so please report any issues to us.
¨ Double-check on rates & charges. Call to confirm your reservation a few days before arriving.
¨ Of course, as is standard agility procedure, all handlers/owners will pick up after their dogs. Please bag and dispose of dog waste properly.
¨ Please cover the motel’s bedding with a sheet or blanket from home, whether or not you think your dog will get on the bed.
Don’t EVER leave dogs unattended. Take them with you when you go out for dinner. Even the best of dogs can get carried away in a motel room without you present

NOTES FROM TRIAL SECRETARY
1. Please remember to check the No Signature Required box AND sign that spot where you authorize them to deliver on any overnight package. My Post Office knows that we do not accept signature-required packages and will not even attempt to deliver them. They just mark them “Refused” and return to sender. So I never even know that you sent that package to me.
2. Remember that the Move-up Deadline for your first day of a weekend trial is ALWAYS Monday at 6 pm. Please send those moveups in right away.
3. Please review the section about Moveups as we have added more clarification about moveups before and at the trials.
4. With all the paperwork we handle, mistakes are inevitable. We send out both Preliminary Confirmations and Final Confirmations. PLEASE read these and double check that all the information is correct. Having to change Gate boards, scribe sheets and computer records the day of the trial or the week of the trial is very difficult.
5. For Novice Exhibitors – please read the section on the moveup form or under Moveups about when you need to change from Novice A to Novice B and also read the section under classes to determine whether you should enter Novice A or Novice B level classes

MEASURING
If you have never been measured for a permanent AKC jump height card, you can still enter any AKC Agility Trial. Your confirmation letter will indicate if there will be an Volunteer Measuring Official (VMO). If so, this person will measure your dog. All jump heights MUST be measured unless you have a valid height card. If you do have a permanent jump height card from the AKC, you must send in a copy with your entry form.
If there is no official measurer at the trial, you will be measured by the judge for that weekend only. If there isn't a VMO present and your dog jumps 24", you will not need to be measured for the weekend. You will still need to be measured officially at some point.
If your dog measures lower during the weekend, you cannot move your dog down in jump height for that trial. If your dog measures higher than the class you originally entered, you must notify MNYKC and show your dog in the higher jump height for that weekend and subsequent shows.
MNYKC WILL ACCEPT PHOTOCOPIES OF THE PERMANENT OR UNEXPIRED TEMPORARY HEIGHT CARD WITH THE ENTRY FOR THIS SHOW.
