Working Trials
[modula id=”4160″]
Working Trials is a dog sport consisting of Nosework, Obedience & Agility. The sport is open to dogs & handlers fit and able to do so.
There are 4 levels for competitors to take part in:
C.D. (Companion Dog)
U.D. (Utility Dog)
W.D. (Working Dog)
T.D. (Tracking Dog)
These tests are regulated by the Irish Kennel Club, who produce a set of rules & regulations guided by the Canine Activities and Sports Committee.
There are a number of clubs that organise Working Trials and details can be obtained from the Irish Kennel Club CLG.
Working Trials is a great sport that requires a lot of time and commitment, but gives a great reward in achievement and fitness, not only for the dog, but handler as well. It also builds a wonderful bond between dog & handler.
