BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE SHOWWhat happens at our shows from a Judges point of view?
A is for Arrival - make sure you arrive early enough to set up everything required for your ring before the scheduled start time.
B is for Behaviour - make sure that you behave in a manner befitting of a Judge. C is for Consistency - make sure that you judge every team consistently including standing in the same place for each dog and if following them do so at the same distance. D is for Dress. A judge should dress appropriately for the task. Since NZ may experience all weathers in one day you will need clothing from gumboots to sunhats! E is for Excellent - one of the RallyO classes F is for FUN! At the end of the day Obedience and RallyO are a hobby and we should try to make it enjoyable for everyone. G is for H is for Hat - you might need one when you're judging, rain, hail or shine. I is for Interest - you should give every competitor the same amount of interest when they are in your ring J is for judging - which is what this website is all about! Please email us with ideas for the rest of the alphabet :-) |
