Come join us at the park this Sunday for a pre-holiday photo op! Dress your dog up or wear one of the costumes we’ll bring (sizes may be limited).

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
