Dogs: Rules and Regulations

Dogs want to have as much fun as you and want to have fun with their owners; however, in the past we have had issues with owners not picking up excrement and the dogs running around in packs. The dogs had a grand ol' time but were unattended. Weber County was not happy with this situation so we stopped allowing dogs. But Nocturnal Grooves experimented with a new dog policy that worked pretty well for them. We created our own dog policy based on what worked  for them this summer.

First, we are a private event, we have consulted with a few and have learned that we do not HAVE to let dogs in. Not even service dogs. We are assuming though that service dogs are properly documented and have their shots and paperwork should be up to date. I will give a few copies of this policy to those who are selling tickets or you can download it and print it yourself, either way be prepared to have the information filled out before you come through the gate.

You can download / print the dog contract here:

Basically to fill out the form you will need:

• Rabies Lic#
• Lic#

And the dog will be required to be on a leash at all times and well-behaved. If your dog is not licensed you can obtain a license through your municipality provided that you have its rabies shot information which you can get from your vet. And of course you'll need to clean up after your pet. If your dog is young and not socialized yet, you may want to consider only bringing them in for limited hours until they can learn to be calm. Or you can walk them to the leash-free dog park by the baseball field and let them run for a while to expend their energy.

It is not expensive and in most cases $10- $30 per year.

The dog entrance fee is $15 for the entire event and we will tag them with the owner's contact information.

If you feel that your dog is not quiet ready for a festival experience, you can check out some Yelp reviews and maybe find a good fur baby sitter. Or perhaps you can work with a few friends to take care of your dogs outside the event. Thank you for being a responsible pet owner.

Here is an example of a dog having a great time at EQ, but where are the parents? Maybe he is on stage looking for them?
