Obedience is a sport in which the 4-H dog and handler team is judged against an objective standard of performance; while learning to communicate with each other.

It requires good sportsmanship both in the show ring as well as outside of the show ring. It is a sport in which each successive level requires additional skills. At its earliest levels, the skills required are those of a well-behaved family pet and companion in public. At its top levels, the dog is directed to jump, sit, down, and come with only hand signals from across the ring. Several years and many hours of practice are between these two extremes. Obedience is a supportive sport that the 4-H’er can enjoy throughout their lifetime.

RULES: • Refer to Minnesota 4-H Dog Project Guide, Minnesota 4-H Dog Obedience Rules and Guidelines, and Freeborn County 4-H Dog Project Member Letter.

Showmanship gives each 4-H member the opportunity to present themselves and their dog to the best of their ability. This is exemplified by a handler working as a team with his/her dog, so the dog is stacked, alert and under control, while at the same time the 4-H’er appears confident and in control.

DOG SHOW: Sunday, July 21 at 1:00 pm Freeborn Co. Fairgrounds

CANINE APPRECIATION

Rally is a sport in which the dog and handler complete a course that has been designed by the rally judge. In short, Rally is a sport that combines the fast pace of Agility with the exercises of Obedience. The judge instructs the handler to begin, then the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated stations (8 to 20, depending on the level) while being judged and timed. Each station has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. Scoring is more lenient than that of traditional obedience. Rally promotes fun, enjoyment and teamwork for dogs and handlers at all levels of competition.

DEMONSTRATIONS JUDGING

constitutes a major portion of the evaluation results.

- Presentation Software (i.e. MS PowerPoint) may be used for both Demonstrations and Illustrated Talks. If Presentation Software is used in a Demonstration, the presentation software should supplement the Demonstration (hands on demonstrating should still be the basis of the entry). If used for an Illustrated Talk, the presentation software can be the basis for the entire talk; however the member must interact with the presentation and information - not just step to the side and let the presentation play. (Self-presenting entries created with presentation software should be burned on to a DVD and entered in the “Video” class.)
