AKC Fetch!
AKC Fetch is a pass-fail noncompetitive test where dogs retrieve a toy, bumper or ball from a designated distance. Dogs can earn titles in Fetch. The four levels of titles (Novice, Intermediate, Advanced and Retriever) assess the ability of the dog to retrieve under the handler’s direction. In the Advanced and Retriever levels, the dog must respond correctly to signals. There is also a memory component in Advanced and Retriever because a retrieving bumper or ball is dropped (or thrown) behind a blind where it cannot be seen.
If your dog loves to play fetch, this is a sport for you. Join our classes and get started today.
