These changes to the regulations are designed to improve the overall obedience program and offer exhibitors more opportunities to compete. The majority of these changes will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2009, while other changes will become active in 2010 or 2011. In addition, clubs soon will have the option of offering new optional titling classes and non-regular classes. The Board approved these new classes in 2007 as part of the AKC Obedience Business Case. At the link below, AKC has included the answers to commonly asked questions about the new classes. We encourage you to study these additions and revisions so you can answer exhibitors' questions and will be familiar with the new programs before they are implemented. All the changes are also posted here <http://sdm3.rm04.net/ctt?kn=5&m=2258173&r=MTQ4OTE5MDM3NzkS1&b=0&j=NjA4Mzg3M DMS1&mt=1&rt=0> . More information on the approved AKC Obedience Business Case can be viewed here <http://sdm3.rm04.net/ctt?kn=3&m=2258173&r=MTQ4OTE5MDM3NzkS1&b=0&j=NjA4Mzg3M DMS1&mt=1&rt=0> , under Attachment B. In addition, the AKC will send you a copy of the newly revised Obedience Regulations at the beginning of the year. We are excited about these changes and believe that they offer exhibitors more opportunities to show and earn titles. The new classes present training challenges for all levels. If you have questions, please contact this office at obedience@xxxxxxxx Thank you for your continued support of AKC Obedience.
