including obedience, agility, conformation, flyball and rally. She has titled her dogs; a Shetland
Sheepdog (RIP), an Alaskan Malamute (RIP), a German Shephard (RIP) and two Nova Scotia Duck
Tolling Retrievers, in multiple venues. Her Alaskan Malamute got her started beyond obedience
and Shreddie was #1 in her breed in AAC for all years competing and is still the #3 in her breed in
NAFA. Jennifer recently adopted a third NSDTR rescue to her home and is looking forward to the
training ahead. Jennifer has been competing in CARO rally since its introduction to Regina and
appreciates being able to provide feedback to her dog throughout the course and the team bond it
builds with her dog while training and trialing. Jennifer recently became a CARO judge for all

Notice to Competitors – General Information
This is a titling event under CARO rules and regulations. CARO is open to all dogs being at least six (6) months of age,
including purebred and mixed breeds, except bitches in season or dogs with injuries or illnesses which may cause the dog pain
or great discomfort, or dogs exhibiting signs of aggression that threaten the safety of other dogs or humans. For more
information go to www.canadianrallyo.ca
The trial will be run in accordance with CARO rules and regulations – the judge will explain the rules for the event
during the Judge’s briefing held immediately before the first walk through of the day.
There will be ribbons and prizes for the high score in each class. A qualifying ribbon will be awarded to each
dog/handler team who achieves a score of 170 or better, for individual dog classes, or a score of 180 or better, for
team events. You will also receive your dog’s score card for each run you perform.
There shall be no refunds for entries withdrawn after the closing date, or in the event a dog and/or handler are
dismissed from competition, regardless or the reason for such dismissal. However, refunds will be issued for dogs
that come into heat or are injured, provided a veterinarian’s certificate is received by the Trial Secretary.
Physically challenged handlers are encouraged to participate. Handlers shall provide the judge with a written
description of how they intend to perform any of the course exercises. This shall be submitted with your entry form,
prior to the closing date.
Dogs can be shown on a flat buckle or snap collar or plain harness. No choke, martingale, prong or shock collars,
head halters or no-pull harnesses are allowed. Leashes should be made of fabric or leather and be long enough to
provide adequate slack. Dogs at the advanced or excellent level are not required to compete with a collar.
Food as a reward is allowed at the Novice and Advanced level only, but cannot be used as a lure to help the dog
complete an exercise. Handlers who plan to use food as a reward must indicate this on their entry form. Food must
be carried in the handler’s right-hand pocket and only be present in the handler’s hand in between exercises. Any
petting, touching, or feeding that significantly interrupts the flow of performance shall be scored accordingly.
Facilities: The event will be held indoors in a fully matted, gated ring.
Please pick up after your dog, waste receptacles & bags will be provided. Dogs must be on leash when not in the
