Skal vi gå lydighet i England???

Jeg sitter her og grubler litt på om jeg skal gå for å melde Bella på i lydighets konkurase i England. De har et litt annet system der enn her hjemme og øvelsene er ikke helt like. Det finnes tre forskjellige klasser jeg kan melde oss på: Pre- Beginner, Beginner og Novice.

Her er et utklipp fra den engelske kennelsiden om de.

Pre-Beginner This is the level where newcomers to obedience start their competition career. Neither the handler nor the dog must have won a first place in any Obedience class. Handlers and dogs 'win out' of this class (ie they are no longer eligible to compete in it) if they gain a third place or better in any Obedience class from Novice upwards, or a first place in Pre-Beginner or Beginner.
Beginner Can be entered if neither the dog nor thehandler has won a first prize at any higher level in Obedience (Novice to C). Handlers or dogs who win two first prizes in Beginner classes 'win out' of this class and move up to Novice.
Novice This is the class where more experienced handlers will start with a young dog. The dog must not have won two first prizes at Novice or a higher level. Unlike Pre-Beginner and Beginner, there is no limitation on what the handler (as opposed to the dog) can have won, so competitors who have won Obedience Championships can still enter Novice with a young dog.

Og her er et utklipp fra hvordan selveste øvelsene er:

Jeg føler at jeg og Bella er mer på "Novice" nivå. Det er en øvelse jeg er litt usikker på hvordan vil gå, og det er innkallingen. Hunden skal komme inn til meg og sette seg foran meg først. Og da klin inntil med snuten oppi helligheten har jeg sett på film. Dette er vi jo ikke vant til og må øves inn på et vis. Target må jo være bra å bruke her. Target på post it lapp kansje. Og så får jeg bare finne på en helt ny kommando. Ellers så ser jo øvelsene helt fine ut. Så det hadde jo vært gøy å prøvd seg. Må gruble litt på den. :-)
