to be used in connection with and after the
name of each dog, which has met the requirements
for that title as hereinafter provided.

3) Stand for Examination (off leash)
4) Recall Holding Dumbbell
5) Drop from Heel
6) Broad Jump
(excerpted from the CKC Obedience Trial Rules publication)
This class is conducted off leash and is a great bridge between the Novice and Open classes. The dog needs to be controlled off leash without taking the collar or touching the dog. Sadie still finds competitive venues very distracting and interesting, but kept her concentration together long enough to pass her trial on Friday and complete her CDI title. I am very proud of this lovely dog who is gradually developing into a fine working dog and who maintains her sweet demeanor and sense of humour at all times. A nicer girl I could not ask for.
