If you are interested in competitive obedience or thinking of getting involved the 3-Way Match is an excellent introduction. It is a great way to see how classes work and what is required of the handler and dog in a friendly environment. We won't pretend that we're not competitive, but at the end of the day it is just a bit of fun and friendly rivalry! If you would like to take part please speak to your trainer.
See our Annual Open Show page for more information about competitive obedience.
PS - It used to be a 5-way match but these days clubs find it hard to get a team together. If anyone from other dog training clubs in Devon or Cornwall is reading this and thinks they might be able to get a team together, please contact us - it could be a 4-way, 5-way of even a 6-way match!
