Hi Jaz! Me kai-poh a bit here. Cin di has given you good info. Here's something I posted before that might help you.. For Pre-Novice, the following will be tested: Heelwork (40pts) - Walking on leash with handler,normal pace. The team (ie. you and the doggie) will be judged on your responses to these commands: Forward,Halt, Right turn, Left turn,Stand & About turn. Next would be the figure of 8 heelwork. Stand stay (on leash) (10pts)- The dog is to stand steadily beside the handler on a loose leash and not show undue resentment or shyness. Move forward and stand your dog on order from judge. Both of you stand in this position while the judge circle no less than 1 meter around. Recall (on leash) (20pts) - Sit the dog, walk about 6 ft in front, call the dog. Dog comes and sits in front of the handler, handler issues the finish command, dog moves behind the handler to resume the heel position on the left side. Sit stay (off leash) (15pts)- Sit the dog, remove the leash, issue the stay command, leave the dog, walk about 20ft away, about turn & face the dog. Wait 30sec. Return to the dog and resume the heel position. The dog's front paws should NOT leave contact with the ground. (otherwise the dog would automatically be disqualified!) Down stay (off leash) (15pts) - Same as sit stay above except you down the dog before moving away. Wait 1 minute. Dog should NOT stand up otherwise it'll be auto disqualified. Dog can shift about but the body must NOT leave contact with the ground. Passing mark is 70 for pre-novice. Like Cin di mentioned, you have to score at least 50% of the total marks for each exercise or else you will not qualify even if the total marks is more than 70. For Eg. Heelwork: 30 (out of 40) Stand stay: 8 (out of 10) Recall: 9 (out of 20) Sit stay: 15 (out of 15) Down stay: 15 (out of 15) Total: 77 (More than the min.70) However, this entry will not qualify due to the Recall exercise is less than 50% of the required marks. Hope this would clarify things further. Happy training! Rdgs Arthur
