Heel on Lead
15
Your dog should be walked at a normal pace around the ring, as the Steward directs you, on a loose lead. You are allowed to talk to your dog as much as you like, but you will be down marked if you handle your dog in any way. I have mentioned this under the heading of ‘Tests’.
Heel Free
20
Exactly the same as Heel on Lead, except that the lead will not be on your dog. He should work by your left leg as he did when the lead was on. The Heelwork pattern will probably be the same as the on lead section, but not necessarily.
Recall
with a Finish
10
This will be off the lead and is generally referred to as a Novice Recall to distinguish it from a Class A Recall. By this stage, I expect you know what a recall is. You can leave your dog in either the sit or the down, which is entirely up to you. But don’t leave your dog till the Steward tells you to, and remember not to move your feet once you are told to face your dog. You can use as many commands as you like to stop your dog from coming to you before you are told to ‘Call your dog’ by the Steward. Then use your voice to encourage a straight present. Try not to touch him. On being told to finish, tell your dog to go to the heel position.
Sit Stay
One minute
10
You will be asked to stand near the centre of the ring after being told to leave your dog. You may be asked to stand with your back to your dog, and you will lose marks if you peep round to have a quick look to see if your dog is still in the sit. Listen carefully to any advice the Chief Stay Steward says before the start of the exercise.
Down Stay
Two minutes
20
The Sit and the Down will be done together with all the dogs entered in this class at a pre-determined time. Don’t be late, or you will miss them.

Heel on lead
15
The same as in the Pre-Beginner Class.
Heel Free
20
Again, the same.
Recall
with a Finish
10
The usual Novice Recall, the same as in Pre-Beginners. Don’t forget you can leave your dog in either a sit or a down and command your dog as much as you like.
Retrieve
25
You will have learnt how to do this at the club. You can use your own article, but it’s a good idea to use a dumbbell when competing in this class.
Sit Stay
10
This is also for one minute, the same as in the Pre-Beginner class.
Down Stay
20
A two-minute down as in the previous class.

Temperament Test
10
This is done on lead with your dog standing beside you. The Judge just gives your dog a quick, quiet stroke to check his temperament. He doesn’t go over the dog as he would in a breed ring.
Heel on lead
15
The same as in the Pre-Beginner and the Beginner classes.
Heel Free
20
The same as in the Pre-Beginner and the Beginner classes.
Novice Recall with a Finish
10
The same as the last two classes, it is generally referred to as a Novice recall. You turn and face your dog and call him to your front, where he should sit till told to finish and go to heel.
Retrieve
15
You will have learnt how to do this at the club. You have to use a dumbbell in this class.
Sit Stay
10
Again, this is for one minute. You will be asked to stand in the middle of the ring, behind the Stay Stewards. It is pretty certain that you will have to have your back to your dog, with absolutely no peeping.
Down Stay
20
This is for two minutes, as were the two previous classes. You will do this exercise as you did in the sit stay. Back to your dog, unless told otherwise.
