ALBANY OBEDIENCE CLUBAKC Fetch
AKC Fetch is part of the AKC Family Dog Program, and is designed to give owners another way to have fun with their dogs. The AKC Fetch Test is a pass/fail, non-competitive test with four levels: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Retriever. For each level, a dog must pass the test twice under two different judges to earn a title. Any dog six months of age or over, with an AKC, ILP/PAL or Canine Partners number, and who is otherwise eligible may participate. You can find more information on AKC Fetch by clicking here.
Novice
In the Novice test, the handler throws a bumper, ball or toy at least 30 feet between a pair of distractions (boxes). The dog must go between the distractions to retrieve the ball (or bumper or toy). There are three throws: one to the left, one to the center and one to the right. The dog must perform each retrieve correctly to pass the test.
