Happy Holidays! We wanted to take this opportunity to discuss some of the new changes to the 2021 Obedience rules to familiarize you with those changes and help clarify some of the new exercises.

As you go through the new rulebook, you will see major changes from the current program presented as bold and italicized. New additions will just be italicized. Bolding may be used within the new additions to bring extra attention to that section if needed.

I have outlined the new exercises and changes below in this newsletter, but please be sure to take the time to read the in-depth explanations in the 2021 Obedience rulebook.

Guided by the belief that dogs make a difference by being the best partner a human can have in the field, on the job, or in a competition event, UKC is a community for people and dogs to pursue excellence together. Founded in 1898, UKC has been dedicated to enhancing the lives of Dogs That Do More, and their owners, by providing essential resources to help owners and breeders make informed decisions. The dog-human bond is celebrated through family-friendly programs highlighting the instincts and heritage of purebred and mixed-breed dogs alike at over 15,000 licensed events annually.
