Attendees and Guest Behavior
There occasionally arises a situation where an attendee‘s behavior in the hotel or at an event site becomes a cause for an unhappy situation that compels the club to take action in order to maintain good relations with the hotels and / or the show site. Common sense and courtesy should dictate your actions to avoid such situations. To assist us in rectifying any problems with individuals or their dogs promptly, the hotel staff will inspect all rooms daily and shall report to the show committee any observed violations or damages. The show committee and security will be observing conduct at the show sites as well. Complaints will be investigated, and the parties involved will be asked to comply with required corrective actions immediately. Each dog owner, guest, or registrant is expected to cooperate; cease and desist offensive actions; settle damage claims on the spot; and provide insurance or other pertinent information as required or requested. Infractions of any rule or failure to comply may be cause for an official event committee hearing and possible suspension of AKC privileges. It is no fun for anyone having to deal with misconduct, but we will, if necessary, so please don‘t force this issue.
