Competition obedience is great for all breeds, especially high-drive dogs, as it acts as a foundation for all dog sports and is a beneficial addition to domestic training. It is especailly good for hgh drive dogs, but any breed can do well in obdedience .
Like all our classes, obdedience training is based on rewards and enjoyment. The aim is to build on the skills you already have and make it fun for you and your dog, through working as a team you will increasing the bond you have with your dog.
While points are not awarded for style or eagerness, a good competitive dog should be keen to work, full of confidence, quick and responsive, and obviously having fun!
There is no pressure to compete, some owners just enjoy a new level of training. If you would like to compete please speak to your Grade3/CGC instructor
