There are currently 26 leagues available to use - each league will have its own Certificates.

All placings 1st to 6th that you list are automatically allocated points. Those with the highest points will receive awards at each year end.

You need to register as a member, then you log in to enter your results which appear in the Class & Area League

Your results also appear automatically in additional leagues you select (at extra cost) that may be applicable  

• Class & Area Leagues are the leagues everyone has within basic membership (any level of class is included in the membership)
• Once a member you enter all of your own results (see How Do I Enter My Dogs Results' in this HELP section -  you can also email for a help sheet - or check the files on the facebook page - or click on the link in the FIRST 'Help' section of this page)
• The more results you enter the more points you gain in the league
• Ensure you enter dog placings in the correct class level (select class from a drop down list of options) and double check show date - email if you struggle at any time, I can amend entries for you
• Basic membership cost includes all Class Leagues and your chosen Area League  but REMEMBER for an extra payment your dog can also be included into other 'Additional Leagues' - there should be at least one Additional League that your dog will be eligible for relevant to your dogs breed, type, rescue, size or Club categories - these are often the Leagues that consistency will gain you high places in
• If you have a 'non collie' type the additional leagues could be important to join at registration stage - so ensure you click on any Additional League you want to join at registration stage - email obedleagues@aol.co.uk  add your dog(s) to any Leagues after you have registered
• For example a Novice level rescue Spaniel could potentially be in eight leagues - Novice, Class A, Class B, Area, ABC, Spaniel, Rescue & Club
• Each league will have its own top winner rosettes and place cards allocated to a large percentage of each league (numbers presented will depend on membership and sponsorship gained)
• There is also a perpetual shield annual award to the Top Scoring Dog (kindly donated in 2016 by Sharon Webley)
• Membership is only renewable between 1st January and 31st May each year and runs from January to December each year - you cannot join mid year unless you area a competitor totally new to obedience and eligible for Introductory
• Your dogs placing results need to be entered by 31st December - no entries or amendments can be made after this date - you are totally responsible for entering your own results before 31st December.
• Leagues will be begin again from 1st January each year - once closed no previous years late/forgotten results can be added
• Awards will be either presented at early shows or posted out
• Random checks will be made on entries - always double check you have put in the correct results - admin reserve the right to amend or delete any entries that do not comply with the League rules
• Dogs with no show results and therefore zero points on 31st December each year will not receive any awards
