Welcome to All Bark No Bite. A community dog sport.
Here we will guide you through getting to know the sport and how to prepare yourself for trial day. We are very excited to have you on board.
We highly recommend you join us on Discord to start your training journey where you can not only get help with your training, but meet new like-minded friends too. It really is a great, open, and supportive community.
TRIALS
There are 3 levels to compete in and must be completed in order starting with Level 1.
Each level consist of two parts. An Obedience routine and a Protection routine.
Note: Our protection routine does not contain any biting but it does demonstrate similar protection style behaviours such as barking, transporting a stranger, apprehending a stranger through circling them, among others.
Trials will be held on a semi regular basis and you can participate from the comfort of your own training environment. Submissions will be done online through Discord. Trials will be announced on social media too so look out for those. (Instagram / TikTok)
On trial day, competitors will set up their own trial field and film their own routine. This must be submitted to Discord on trial day. Any early or late entries will not be judged. Each video must be a single take with no editing performed on it. Area must be well lit enough that the judge can clearly make out the trial set-up as well as the dog and handler.
SUBMISSION
We recommend uploading your videos to Youtube and setting the visibility to visible with a link. You can then share this link in Discord for it to be judged.
Once you have both links, post a message in the Discord channel containing.
Trial Entry, your name, your dogs name, which level you are entering (only Level 1 available right now) and the 2 links to your videos. E.g
