About the Role

PLEASE LOG YOUR RUNS AS SOON AS THEY ARE COMPLETED

  Please log your HDRC runs as soon as they are completed.

  We understand that you have a lot going on when your run is over. You need to return the dog, talk to the dog owner, you’re out of breath and you’re headed to the car to continue to your next destination.  Your mind is already working on what you are going to do next…..  STOP!!!!   Your job with HDRC is not over until you log that run! 

 

 Be careful out there, have fun, and tell your dog I said “Hi”!!!!
