The Mobile Site is not functioning well at this point.
REMINDER that you can access the MAIN CARO webpage from a link at the bottom of the menu on the mobile site.
It says 'Visit Full Site'

Since there was never a formal rule regarding trial results, the Board has voted in the requirement that trial hosts and judges be required to keep trial results for a period of 1 year from the date of the trial.

WORKING CLASS - Elimination of Subdivisions
New Working Class Titles
CARO has new Working Class titles. You can now earn a title in an individual exercise at the Expert level. There are also Bronze, Silver, Gold and Honours titles. These titles have been approved to be retroactive.
CARO Working Class – Individual |
CWI(# of ind titles) i.e. if they earn Individual titles for W1, W3, W10 it would read: “CWI3”. The 5th Individual Title would earn CWXI. Qs beyond CWXI would be towards the Bronze title. |
3 Passes in Expert for a single WC exercise under at least 2 different judges earns one Individual Working title for that exercise. |
CARO Working Class – Bronze Individual |
CWB(# of bronze ind titles) i.e. if they earn Bronze for W2, W3, W6, W10 it would read: “CWB4”. |
8 Passes in Expert for a single WC exercise under at least 2 different judges earns one Bronze Individual Working title for that exercise. |
CARO Working Class –Silver Individual |
CWS(# of silver ind titles) |
13 Passes in Expert for a single WC exercise under at least 2 different judges earns one Silver Individual Working title for that exercise. |
CARO Working Class – Gold Individual |
CWG(# of gold ind titles) |
18 Passes in Expert for a single WC exercise under at least 2 different judges earns one Gold Individual Working title for that exercise. |
Once a dog earns their Honours title for a level, they do not continue to earn individual titles at that level. For example, once they earn their Bronze Honours (CWBH), they do not earn CWB6-10. Any Qs beyond CWBH would be earned towards the Silver Individual title. |

Rule Clarification - Physical Praise in Working Level
The following is for immediate implementation:
Addition: Upon completion of an exercise, whether successful or not, the owner may choose to briefly pet or touch the dog as a reward. If the owner touches the dog mid exercise (for example, after the dog completes one cone in Round the Clock), the judge shall tell the competitor to “move on” to the next attempt at the exercise or to the next exercise after the second attempt, or in Expert.
Physical praise is allowed as the teams move between exercises, for example, in the form of hand targeting.
Touching the dog to put it into a position (Sit, Down, Stand), or guiding the dog between exercises by the collar is considered to be a physical correction and will result in an NQ. This will result in the loss of all Passes already accumulated in the round.
