RSCTA 2017 Fun Day See: Fun Day 17 On the road to collecting points for Crufts 2018, The Smooth Collie OBREEDIENCE team. The competition involves all team members doing a synchronised heelwork pattern (hardest part of all is getting the handlers to be coordinated with each other !), and then there are four set exercises with one team member performing each - a send to bed, a 'stop the dog' / play with your dog, a formal retrieve and a scent discrimination exercise with the dog retrieving its own article out of a range of other articles. A team can have up to six members.The format of the competition is that teams participate in a number of (geographically scattered) qualifiers over the year and the teams with the highest accumulated score qualify for the final at Crufts 2018. Photo below shows the Smooth Collie Obreedience team at Crufts 2015.
