Obedience

Obedience:

Dogs: 6 months old and older

(From the AKC website):

Developed in the 1930s, Obedience is one of the AKC’s oldest sporting events, and it’s open to all dogs. From walking on- and off-leash to retrieving and jumping, or demonstrating your dog’s ability to stay, Obedience trials feature dogs that are well-behaved at home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs. It is essential that the obedience dog demonstrates willingness and enjoyment while it is working with the handler.

Whether or not you want to compete, every dog owner should consider some form of obedience training. It’s the best way to establish good communication skills between you and your dog – and to make sure that your dog is the most well-behaved one in your neighborhood!

The Lawrence Jayhawk Kennel Club hosts an annual weekend of Obedience Trials in conjunction with our All Breed Dog show every October and welcome both new and experience competitors to join us in the fall!
