Nowadays there are two types of competitive obedience: competitive obedience like we see it in Great Britain and F.C.I. obedience like it is done on the mainland of Europe. Every year at Crufts an international obedience competition is held that seems to be a combination of exercises out of the two divisions. Even if you are not interested in obedience as a competitive sport, it is still really important to teach your dog some basic obedience exercises. At Black Jack we teach pet dog obedience as well as competitive obedience.

We currently run 2 groups of competitive obedience classes. One on Wednesday and one on Thursday evening. These classes are suitable for owners with dogs that want to train for obedience competitions. You and your dog will learn: follow, follow to heel, heelwork on and off lead, positions in heelwork, hurdle, retrieve, directional retrieve, send away, distance control, scent, stays, box, retrieve over hurdle, sending to cone and standing next to it, novice recalls, A recall and recall with stand and down.
