Maddest Playtime

Judge
Megan57Collies

For this class, your dog can be playing with a favourite toy, or playing in a paddling pool, chasing a ball like a loon, [ for instance ], whatever your dog considers play time fun - not just doing zoomies though, thats a different class

You may add music to your clip for this class

Maximum clip time 30 seconds for each dog entered.

Best Heelwork To Music

Judge
Mahooli

For this class you will need to put together a sequence of movements to music, or submit a video you already have of a sequence.

Don`t worry if you have`nt done Heelwork to Music before, you can simply put basic obedience tasks together to make them into a sequence

You can make it as serious or as silly as you like, and if you want to dress up to create a theme for your piece that would be great too, just have fun with it

If you have a sequence but no music, you can add music to your clip.

Maximum clip time one minute and thirty seconds for this class

********************



********************

Best Frisbee Catch

Judge
Mahooli

For this class, you can show your dog doing up to three frisbee catches in one clip.

Safety is paramount so please be careful not to try to get your dog jumping too high just for a video entry, and please be especially careful if your dog is`nt an experienced frisbee catcher.

Whether throwing high or long and low, the judge will be looking for clean, confident, and above all fun induced Frisbee catches, not aerobatics

You may add music to your clip for this class

Maximum video length 30 seconds

********************





********************



********************

Best Obedience sequence

Judge
Mahooli

You can either attempt a Sequence outlined
HERE, Option One

Or

you may enter a Freestyle sequence of your own choosing.

Or

Demonstration of long distance recall with a tidy finish

The judge will be looking mostly for interaction / focus between handler and dog, and willingness from the dog to try to do what is being asked rather than speed of compliance or neat/correct handler footwork etc - this is hopefully going to be fun for dog and handler to try the exercise, and is`nt meant to be like a Crufts Obedience Championship level of competition

Length of clip :
Option one - as long as it takes to complete the sequence
Freestyle - 2 minutes
Recall - as many recalls as you wish to a limit of 2 minutes

Agility sequence

Judge
Megan57Collies

For this class you can enter a competition run or a training run,
utilising any number of equipment pieces to a maximum of 20 total elements.
in any single run

You may use individual training sequences spliced together to make up to the maximum number of elements within the time allowed

Our Judge will be looking for team work and fun above all else.
The run/s does not have to be `clear rounds` to win in this class !

You may add music to your clip for this class

Time limit 3 minutes

********************

Best Trick

Judge
Megan57Collies

Our Judge will be looking for good attempts at tricks,
whether perfected or still a work in progress
Some dogs may naturally do something clever and we`d love to see those
as much as trained tricks

You may add music to your clip for this class

Time limit 3 minutes

Best Zoomie

Judge
Mahooli

Best zoomie, is when the dog tucks it`s rear end under and has a completely mad burst of running around, can often be interspersed with sudden stationary moments then a frenetic burst again....
[ Thanks to Fudgeley for the excellent description ]

You may add music to your clip for this class

Time limit 2 minutes
