Obedience Trial Entry Limits

You can enter one obedience event per day regardless of how many conformation shows you are entered in. However, entering all breed and specialty shows will tend to cause more stress for your dog that will prevent him/her from performing at their best in the obedience trial.

There is no age limit for entering dogs in obedience events but dogs must be at least two weeks old. Dogs sent to the Retirement Couch may still compete in obedience events.

Did you know?
The sit for exam is a modified version of the Stand for Exam. It is generally used in novice level classes and requires the handler to order the dog to sit and then to move away from the dog the length of the leash. The judge will then approach the dog and pet the dog's head.
