The Kennel Club champions dog shows
as a great way to bond with your dog and
cement a dog’s training and socialisation
whilst competing against dog lovers from
across the country and their much-loved
pets.
Obreedience
The Kennel Club introduced ‘Obreedience’
in 2013 as a fun way to encourage people
into competitive obedience, which
tests how obedient and well trained a
dog is. Obreedience is an exciting team
competition which sees dogs working in
teams, according to breed, to show off
their levels of obedience.
28 Issue 08
It’s very much a team effort between
dogs and owners, with handlers directing
their dogs within each task. The dogs
competing must carry out set exercises,
such as a retrieve, a ‘send to bed’ and
a scent exercise, which keep the dogs
mentally stimulated whilst developing
obedience skills and giving people a taste
of competitive obedience.
Obedience training clubs operate
throughout the UK – many of which are
licensed by the Kennel Club. They hold
obedience competitions at various levels
for a range of abilities and many give dogs
and owners the opportunity to qualify for
Crufts.
The Kennel Club hopes to see competitive
dog activities grow in the UK and to
enable dog sports on home soil to rival
those across the world and we are sure
that the ongoing British love affair with
dogs will enable this to happen.
Anyone who wants to get involved in
competitive activities with their dogs
can visit the Kennel Club website for a
wealth of information on how to do so.
It offers a ‘Find a Club’ tool to allow dog
owners to find local training and activity
clubs in their area to begin their journeys
into competitive canine activities, and
anything else they may need to know to
enjoy life with their four-legged friend.
