1 Pre-Kindy Class Judged by: Ian Marr Entry of: 15 Qualifiers: 10 Pass Rate: 66% What is the judge looking for? We hope to see the handler and dog working as a team. The handler will give clear commands and signals, the dog will respond willingly and without hesitation. In the Pre- Kindy Class we use food in the graduation. The handler should give clear signals, may lure with the empty hand, and MARK the correct response with GOOD, YES, or CLICK. The Event Marker precedes the food. It is Click and Treat, or GOOD and FOOD. Not together for then the food would block the MARKER, but the marker, this conditioned Reinforcer, predicts the FOOD. All work is graded from Exc, VG, to G. Pass. Poor is NQ. All puppies graduate into Advanced Pre-Kindy with the older dogs. 1st: Nr. 7 ICCARA PRETTY PUP 4 ½ m AMY WILLIAMS Ota S: *Bluemax Tiger Town Ex D: Iccara Jitterbug Walk on loose lead, 29/30, exc.
