We will be having at least two service dogs accompanying competitors this year at our Regional Competition and Convention. It is important to remember that these are working dogs, not pets, and certain etiquette is appreciated by both the service dog owners and their respective choruses.

Two of our members were kind enough to make a video last year on both blindness & service dog etiquette. It can be found by clicking here. It is less than 10 minutes long. Please take a moment to review it before coming to Regional Competition & Convention.

Additional information about service dog etiquette, compiled by Guide Dogs of America, can be found by clicking here.

Your cooperation and understanding will make Regional Competition and Convention more pleasant for everyone. Thank you!
