The Beginner Novice class is new Optional Class. This class is designed to teach the dog and handler the skills needed to qualify for the AKC Beginning Novice (BN) title.

Dogs at or over 6 months of age work will work on the skills of heeling on leash, figure 8 on leash, Sit for Exam, Sit Stay and Recall.

BN is a bridge between those who have done only Rally and want to take some of those skills to another level of competition. It can also be a starting point for those who may want to continue to traditional obedience.
