OBEDIENCE & RALLY- O
About ObedienceThere is nothing more satisfying than sharing your life with a well trained canine companion. Reaching that goal is attainable and takes time, commitment and consistency and whether your dog is a puppy or a mature dog training will assist you in sharing a special relationship where your dog is a pleasure to have by your side, whether at home or in a social situation.
The day your puppy or more mature dog comes into your home is the day the dog starts to learn the rules by which you expect him to live. He will need to get out and meet the world with all its noises and movements and this can start at 8-12 weeks attending Puppy Pre School which is usually run by a Vet Clinic. The next step is to register at your local dog training club in Victoria. Puppies can be registered at training clubs when they have received their final vaccinations usually at approximately 12 – 16 weeks.
Obedience Training is an organized activity conducted through a large number of local clubs all over Victoria. There are different levels of Obedience Training, beginning with basic manners & socialistion, however with the option to keep progressing until the handler & dog reach a competitive level. An obedience competition is called a Trial, and there are 5 Obedience Titles which can be awarded (like a Championship title for a showdog) beginning with-
Community Companion Dog (CCD) - involving basic heel on lead, stand, recall & sit/stay down/stay exercises.
Novice (CD) - free heeling, more complex recall & retrieve, longer stays.
Open (CDX) - more complex recall, retrieve, stay, jump & handler out of sight exercises.
Utility (UD) - finding lost articles, scent discrimination, signal exercises & a range of other complex exercises.
Utility Dog Excellent - (UDX) - complex extensions of the UD exercises.
