Backyard Dog Training Matters Nine for November Challenge!
Submit 9 different trained behaviors to complete the challenge!
Behaviors must be clearly cued, or an explanation of the cue must be provided with the video. No random behaviors can be claimed.
Each behavior must be presented separately, so no 1 behavior can count as 2 or more because of the separate parts. (Example: an A-frame performance can’t count for 1. A-frame 2. Two-on/Two-off behavior.)
A minimum of 2 behaviors must use a prop or piece of equipment (example, agility jump, obedience dumbbell, hoop, cone). Dogs may exhibit behaviors on a platform or other raised surface without it counting as a prop/equipment as long as it isn’t an integral part of the behavior.
A maximum of 5 behaviors may use a prop or piece of equipment.
Video submissions must include handler name and dog name.
Each behavior must be labeled with the name of the behavior or a description if needed. The label should also include whether it counts as 1 of the 2 required prop behaviors.
Preferred: Behaviors are edited together into 1 video with text labels as part of the video, and uploaded to the Challenge thread.
Acceptable: Behaviors are uploaded separately into a playlist on YouTube or a similar provider and labels are in the description portion with the link posted in the Challenge thread.
Complete the Challenge and receive a downloadable certificate to print or share on social media. DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 30, 11:59PM ET. Good luck!
