Niomi Smith Webboard User Reg: 04-20-2009 Posts: 786 Loc: Whitehorse, Yukon Offline	Hey, does anyone have any experience with UKC trial rules? I am going to enter a trial next Friday with 2 of my dogs, and after checking the rules on equipment, I have now discovered that I can't use prong collars. It says "no fancy, studded, "pinch" or "prong" collars, and a fabric or leather leash" So now my question is are choke collars allowed? Do they have to be on the dead ring?

You would think their rules would be somewhat the same. So the rules tell you what not to use but they dont state what you can use? - maybe theres a phone number you can try to call and find out for sure? anyway, good luck at the trial!! Rally is so much fun

But I'd actually read the links. Edited by Connie Sutherland (08/07/2009 04:19 PM) Edit reason: eta
