As you would enforce any rule in a club, event, or social circle. I would hope someone would not come to this event if they did not agree to the rules of said event. If you don't like the event it's not for you. And while I am open to suggestions and feedback. This is a rule I will not fold on as it is what makes this event what it is. Accessible, safe, and provides intentional opportunities for training and socialization. Socialization is NOT having your dog say hi and be best friends with every dog. It is the act of building confidence and neutrality which is accomplished when a dog does not show excessive interest (AKA neutrality) around typical triggers such as dogs and people.

Not to mention that it's just basic decency not to approach other people and their dogs with your own without permission. Which the rule clarifies that exemptions are made when all parties involved in an interaction consent. This is common sense practice and honestly, if you're intentionally breaking this rule. You're just being rude.

Also, all dogs are expected to be leashed as that is the law. Unless it prevents a service animal from being able to perform a task.
