Paradigm Rhodesian Ridgebacks

Below are Paradigm dogs that have earned titles or certificates in Obedience, Rally, Herding Instinct and Canine Good Citizen awards.  Thank you do the puppy owners who have made this page possible!

Obedience, Rally, Canine Good Citizen etc.

Obedience training and competition demonstrate a dog's willingness, capabilities and enjoyment of working very closely with its human handler and the pair generally establishes a close working relationship. Obedience skills demonstrate the usefulness and enthusiasm of dogs. Successful obedience competition takes many hours of training and is a rewarding experience.  For more information on obedience competition, check out the AKC's website.  See also the RRCUS Obedience webpage.
