RULES - CHAPTER 2 REGULATIONS FOR PERFORMANCE AND JUDGING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURE. Section 1. Standardized Judging. Heeling Pattern.
FROM AKC® OBEDIENCE REGULATIONS CHAPTER 2 REGULATIONS FOR PERFORMANCE AND JUDGING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES Section 1. Standardized Judging. The Obedience Regulations are the basic guide to judging but do not contain explicit directions for every possible situation and only list the more common and serious faults. They clearly define the exercises, their order and the standards by which they are to be judged. If a decision depends on the exact wording of the Obedience Regulations, the judge is expected to look up the specific regulation prior to making the decision. Standardized judging is of paramount importance. Judges are not permitted to inject their own variations into the exercise but will see that each handler and dog perform the various exercises e...

RULES - CHAPTER 2 Regulations for Performance and Judging. Section 18. Heel Position. Section 19. Hands and Arms.
AKC® OBEDIENCE REGULATIONS CHAPTER 2 Regulations for Performance and Judging Section 18. Heel Position. The heel position as defined in these regulations applies whether the dog is sitting, standing, lying down or moving at heel. The dog should be at the handler’s left side straight in line with the direction the handler is facing. The area from the dog’s head to shoulder is to be in line with the handler’s left hip. The dog should be close to but not crowding its handler so that the handler has freedom of motion at all times. Section 19. Hands and Arms. The Heel on Leash and Figure Eight exercise specifically states that the hands must be in a natural position but do not require that they be at the handler’s side while heeling on leash. On the other hand, no judge should consider that a handler is unnatural just because they do not perform with the hands and arms in the same p...
