CRC Board Policy on Aggressive Dogs
The CRC Board discussed and voted on an important topic after the club trial on June 3, 2006: aggressive dogs whose behavior endangers other dogs and people at CRC club events.
Unfortunately, there were instances at the June 3rd club trial of dogs demonstrating aggressive behavior on the grounds and also while in their handlers' vehicles. For numerous reasons, including the safety of dogs and people at CRC events, CRC cannot accept aggressive behavior. Consequently, the Board has passed the following policy, which is in keeping with the guidelines provided by UKC/HRC:Please remember that you are responsible for your dog at all times at a club event. If your dog should become aggressive, you should take immediate steps to bring your dog under control to prevent injury to people and other dogs.
- All dogs on the grounds of a CRC event are to be under control and well behaved. It is the responsibility of the dog's handler/owner to ensure that their dog is under control and well behaved. Such control and behavior includes while a dog is crated/restrained in a vehicle/crate/kennel, being aired, going to and from a test, participating in a test, and at any other time and during any other activity while on the grounds of a CRC event.
- Aggressive behaviors that are unacceptable include but are not limited to: snapping at or attacking other dogs or people, stalking other dogs or people, barking threateningly and/or continuously at other dogs or people, interfering with other dogs running tests (note: breaking on honor to be considered separately). .
- If a dog is aggressive toward another dog or a person (e.g. attacks another dog starting a dog fight or goes after a person), the dog will be disqualified from the day's event and must remain crated for the remainder of the event or removed from the grounds.
- If a second occurrence of aggressive behavior should be observed, the dog will not be allowed at CRC events for a period of 1 year from the date of the second offense.
- If a third offense should occur, the dog will be permanently banned from all CRC activities.
- If any dog should bite a person at a CRC event, the dog will be permanently banned from CRC events.
