Approximately every ten weeks the club holds an upgrade evening. 

Dogs and their handlers take part in a short test ranging from heelwork and short stays on lead to heelwork on and off lead, novice recall, retrieve and stays off lead, based upon the training over the previous weeks.  

The dogs that achieve the required standard upgrade to the next class.

There are rosettes for the first five places in the class and a gold, silver and bronze medal for first to third.  

Photographs of the first five dogs and handlers are published on this website.
