DOGOBILITY RULES:
Dogobility competitors will be required to keep their dog under control on the lead in the arena at all times and their dogs must be twelve months of age or older. Dogs who run out of the arena or take the wrong course will be disqualified. Dogs who fail to complete the disciplines correctly and handlers who touch their dogs will incur a two-fault time penalty. The handler and dog completing the course in the fastest time will be declared the winner. Whistles and food treats may not be used in the arena.

UPPINGHAM FUN DOG SHOW 2007 COMPETITION RULES:
No competing dogs under six months of age. All dogs should be kept on the lead at all times (and for the DOGOBILITY). All dogs should be vaccinated. No bitches in season. All handlers must complete and sign an entry form and pay the appropriate class fee prior to the start of the relevant class(es) to be eligible for competition. Dogs need not be KC registered. Winning any of the classes does not constitute automatic entry to KC shows. The judge’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Acceptance of all Uppingham Fun Dog Show rules is deemed by the signed completion of an entry form. The organisers accept no liability for injury, damage or loss howsoever sustained.
