Fun Match Volunteer Benefits

    • Volunteer-Workers are allowed 2 free runs (AKC-style only) with their own dog.
    • Do NOT fill out a fun match entry form for your worker runs.
        • Just indicate on your volunteer sign-up form that you want to take your free runs.  NO run-registration is necessary.
    • Worker Runs take place between 6:15 – 7:00 pm.
        • As soon as each ring is ready to go, they will announce the start of their worker-runs.
        • Coordinate your runs with the other workers at your ring and the ring you are running in.
            • This sounds complicated, but it always works out just fine.
        • If worker-runs end early, those rings with handlers ready can start their fun match runs.
    • It is important that all workers not running a dog during worker-runs report to their ring so we have enough personnel to conduct these runs.
IF YOU BRING YOUR OWN DOG
    • New volunteers — we recommend that you work at least one match before you bring a dog to a fun match.
        • Dogs who are disruptive barkers or exhibit excessive disruptive behavior need to be removed from the building.
            • Some volunteers prefer to leave their dog at home rather than having to worry about their crated dog.
WORKER MEALS & SNACKS
    • Food and snacks are provided for workers in the kitchen.  Help yourself.
EARNING SERVICE CREDITS
    • Workers receive one service credit for each hour they work.
    • Be sure to sign-in as a worker when you arrive at the Check-in Table.
    • Remember to sign-out when you’re done working so you get full credit.
    • Service credits will appear in the green card box in the NOCI office within a week or so after the match.
    • Two service credits earn you a discount on a session of classes:
        • Obedience
        • Rally
        • Nosework
        • Trick dog
        • Agility
